Wooooot!!1! And FTR, that site you linked to is very dangerous. And by that I mean Thank You. {{{Maria & Family}}}
The pediatrician sent him to the hospital for all sorts of tests and cultures.
I can't recall how old Ben is but that had to be difficult for him. Poor little guy. Firmly planting my feet in the It's Nothing corner, Cindy.

What ChiKat said. Not-serious vibes to you, Cindy.
I know it's not actually good for him, for me to do his homework
One time ain't gonna hurt him. A few times won't hurt him.
Cindy, may it be something small.
Susan, may Big Name Writer be spellbound and fling praise and editors in your direction.
Maria, may homicidal giraffes track down and eat that rat-ass motherfucker.
There was more. I'm sure of it, but I'm overwhelmed by the smell of gingerbread coming from the other room.
and then a huge ration of blood tests
This. Blech. I can do ultrasounds and xrays just fine. A huge ration of blood tests would be a totally different story. People think it's odd when I say I donate platelets since I'm a big baby when it comes to needles but I can hand-wave the needle part with the whole helping others part. Not so much when it's just my own health I'm dealing with.
From the sound of things though, I'm sure he's quite the mature nine year old and handled it with ease. What a trooper.
I know it's not actually good for him, for me to do his homework
What a cool mom! Seriously! And I'll also echo what ChiKat said. Once, twice, three times won't hurt him. Now, if you're still doing it when he's in college, then it's an issue.
Oh, Cindy, I do hope it's nothing serious.
