guess he is sick

I made an appointment today for T to see a doctor.  He has an ongoing sore throat and complains about not having any energy.  He told my husband he cannot concentrate in school because he feels so bad.  T said he was dizzy and walked into the wrong classroom, disoriented.  He could have mono.  While he's there I am going to have him give T a few blood tests - one for mono (if that is what the dr. thinks he needs) and two for drugs.  The urine screens aren't enough.  After his doctor appointment, I hope he will go to school.  Not that it matters that much.  He isn't doing well in school.  I received an e-mail from his former tutor, at school, and she said in one class (at least) he's failing.  I'm not surprised because he doesn't bring home any homework.   update: Maybe he's "just" sick in the head.  I let him sleep in he says he's feeling better and now isn't sick anymore.  Wanted to go to school.  Urgh!  Always the opposite.   Oh -- the bong is a bong after all.  I checked with my other son and he confirmed it.  He told me that it was old and he didn't think T was doing pot.  The way T minimized it to me and his counselor and said there was no possible way it could be a bong because it's made of plastic - I almost bought it.  He wanted me to describe it as he drew it and then said it can't be one.  Boy is he slick!  He never batted an eye.

I would still have him go to the doctor.....if legitimate then it needs treatment, if not you know he is crying wolf ....and the drug testing is not a bad idea. Remember that once he turns 18 you don\'t have access to his medical records......same goes for school.......
Wonder what would happen if the bong went to the trash, why is there drug paraphernalia in the house? Hang in there!!!! Take Care!!!!
