[QUOTE="HowMuchLonger, post: 412428, member: 11280"] Janet, that's pretty much where we stand right now. We went to the fam. doctor and he was no help. He feels difficult child 2 may be coming down with some sort of viral infection. The headache eventually disappeared last night but he was complaining something awful about his eyes hurting whenever he moved them...that concerned me a bit. The doctor said that's common in children when they have a headache preceding a fever, so to watch for him to spike a temperature. He never quite did get feverish...temp was always high 98's, but he did complain before bed that he felt shivery, and he definitely felt warm to the touch. The hives got even worse last night..I feel really bad for him. At one point he cried and asked "why me??" Yesterday though, a light bulb came on and I'm going to push really hard today for him to go to school. I never mentioned it in my original post as I didn't connect the two. Friday night was the night he was taken from home by police/ambulance. Monday when he went to school and had a great day but at some point in the day the girls that live next door (same age/same school as difficult child 2) had told some kids that they saw difficult child 2 taken from the house. I guess some kids asked difficult child 2 about it and it obviously upset him greatly. It was Monday night when the hives started...I'm wondering if this is a stress issue...a way for him to stay home from school (conciously or not) to avoid the questions. He told me he lied to the kids that approached him and I told him very gently that I did not approve of lying, but in this case, I understood and backed him on it and that the girl had NO right to tell anyone. I did call the school and speak to the principal the next morning about it..and made sure to tell difficult child 2 that I had done that. I hope I can get him to school today..but I see this morning as going very rough. [/QUOTE]
