Brief Answer:
Wait until AM!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have reviewed this information fully and I will suggest that you monitor him only at this time. Only take him to the hospital If he develops any worrisome signs such as abdominal pains, dark stools or bloody stools. If none of these happen, then all is fine.

In all, keep an eye on him for any warning signs and seek consultation if that happens.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up and ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Keep me updated with his state.
