9. Have him close his eyes for about thirty seconds and then open them

toward the source of light in the room. Watch his pupils carefully. If one pupil is noticibly larger than the other, or if they don't react to the light, take him to the emergency room STAT! If he starts to vomit, do the same.

Otherwise, have him relax, and if he wants, sleep. You should wake him every hour or so and ask him who he is, what day it is, who is the pResident, etc. If he is coherent, don't worry, but to continue to be viligent. If he seems confused or can't answer, you should take him to the ER.
