It's great for your son who has a friend that shares the same interest and seem to enjoy each other's company. I wish they would offer more carpentry lessons to students. It would be good to learn some skills that can also be applied at home, so they won't be focused on gadgets.
I had that medical test before, thankfully I was able to avail of the free medical assistance from our city. I hope you'll find the right medication that your body can adapt easily. Get well soon!
