[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go to him, OP. Immediately. This is one of those times that he will remember whether his parents showed up for him or not. You’re only 2.5 hours away. Please go.[/quote]

Depends. My mom is a worrier with anxiety. I pretty much hid being sick from her because she made it so much worse.  When I wound up in the hospital in college I was so glad I was a flight away and could use that as a reason for her not to come. [/quote]

I don’t think OP is a worrier with anxiety. [/quote]

She was up all night by her own admission, and now is posting on Dcum as an outlet. If course she has anxiety.[/quote]

Stop the Tik Tok psychology.  Being anxious about a sick child in the ER does not equal anxiety.  It’s totally normal. Christ, this generation has trashed psychology with all the pathologizing BS.

Strep turns into Scarlet Fever and being with a loved one in the hospital is the most normal thing to do.  And everyone needs an advocate when they’re hospitalized. [/quote]

No, most adults would not expect or want someone to drive 2.5 hours to be with them in the hospital unless they're in serious condition. The OP's son isn't even admitted![/quote]

Scarlet fever is serious. Are you 20?

2.5 hour drive is not a big deal.  It’s not much longer than some people’s work commutes here. [/quote]
