Docs - 13 y.o. boy - Medical Question

We had a bit of a scare yesterday afternoon with our 13 year old son who's generally very healthy. He had a headache that came on in the car coming home from school. It was located primarily behind his left eye and was bad enough that it scared him a bit. My wife gave him some Tylenol. About 10 or 15 minutes later he said his right hand, right side of his face, and toungue were numb. Yikes!

She took him to the nearest ER (rural Georgia). He was asked some questions and had a head CT done (relatively new scanner). Results were negative (thank God!!!). The ER doc's diagnosis was "complex migrane". He's 100% back to his old (awesome) self today. We're going to go fly his RC airplane today and it's all he can think about right now!

We're very relieved but still a bit concerned. Any thoughts or comments? Is there anything we should be watching? Of course, we'll follow up with his pediatrician on Monday. Thanks for your input.
