My son just called and said he almost collapsed at the job site

My son has just recently moved back to Arizona to work and then bring his family out here. He called a little while ago and said he almost collapsed and his kidneys hurt. I am worried he is suffering from heat stroke and he can't leave the job site until the other guy who is scheduled to work arrives at 4 pm. Although he has been drinking water and gatorade apparently it isn't enough for him.

It doesn't matter how old our kids are when they are sick, as a parent we worry. He has some other health conditions as well so it makes it doubly hard to hear him feeling so poorly. He will have to bring kerchiefs or something like it to wet and wrap around his neck etc if he is so bothered by the heat even while drinking fluids. He has been working since 5 this morning and I guess he won't be done until 4 or 5 tonight. After living in Connecticut this is a drastic change for him even though he use to live here years ago.

I am looking up information and going to put on some soothing music to try and calm myself. I can go thru all kinds of physical problems but when it comes to my sons I worry or flat out panic.

So now I have to deal with calming myself until he gets home safely.

Later all,
Aly
