TIFU by letting my son stay home from school, and falling back asleep.

A little background: I have a heart condition called SVT which has been treated surgically, and my son(10) is aware of that.

I took kiddo to see Endgame on Saturday, and he came down with the sniffles and a cough after we left the theater. It got worse on sunday, and he's definitly got a cold.

I got up at 6 this morning, and he was snoring pretty bad, so I called my work, texted his mom, and called him in absent to school. He was sleeping pretty good, so I let him sleep, and fell back asleep myself on the upstairs couch.

I wake up at 8:15am, to my best friend blowing up my phone, worried sick because my son called and told her I wouldn't wake up. Somewhat confused, I let her know I was ok, and go downstairs to let my son know everything is fine, and that I kept him home because I didn't want his cold spreading.

I can't find him. He's not in his room, he's not in the house, or our yard, and I start panicking. I found him fast by calling his phone, and my father answers, telling me that my son couldn't wake me up, and everyone was preparing to come over and find me dead.

Between telling my father everything was ok, and him and my son walking back to the house, the sheriff and ambulance show up, my mom calls all freaked out, and several other close friends are blowing up my phone.

The sheriff just left, paramedics about ten minutes before him. I just finished talking to my son about how he did the right thing, but that he should actually come upstairs and wiggle my toe if I don't wake up when he calls my name from the bottom of the stairs.

Today must be Monday, I could never get the hang of Mondays...

TLDR; Son was sick, so I let him stay home, and fell asleep. He freaked out and thought I was dead, but totally did the right thing.
