Help with Parker. Please :(

[LenaGardner]

Has anyone ever had something like this happen? Parker hasn't been himself lately. For like the last 3 days. He is extra whiney. He is extra belligerent. He isn't sleeping well at night. Getting up a lot, winding up in our room in the middle of the night. He is hitting. He is persistent about getting his way. But most of all, he is weepy. Crying a lot. And crying over little things. I took him to the doctor for an unrelated thing...he had a rash. While there he was tested for strep (negative). She looked in his throat (fine) and looked in his ears (tubes are fine). He has a clean bill of health pretty much. He does have a rash but we have a couple of creams for it.

So I feel like illness is out.

I emailed his teacher. She said she had been out the last few days but she would talk with him.

IDK what to do. I feel at a loss.
