Fortunes and Vomit

My mind is slightly numb as it has been a whirlwind of excitement and events. Last week we spent WAY too much time at the Dr.'s and specialist for Caden's arm.
The Dr. settled on treating him with a cast, surprisingly he wasn't really hip on it. The specialist basically said it could be a couple of different things but all were treated with immobility. Whatever...

I thought that a week of stress could be helped by a weekend of fun! We decided to start the weekend with taking the kids to the Polar Express on Friday night. The kids get to wear their PJ's and go on a brief train ride to the "North Pole". SO neat!!! Before the train ride we decided to stop into Applebees for a quick bite with some friends and their children. About half way through the meal Caden begins to PUKE. It was very weird and kinda slow motionish. I looked over and he had that look that parents HATE to see when your miles away from a pot, bucket, bush, or toilet. Not the look that says, "I goota pee.". It's the green "I'm gonna puke!" look. Rich QUICKLY grabbed him and ran down the isle as he barfed...all the way to the bathroom where he continued to puke everywhere but the toilet. So we cleaned up and sorted out a few details, Sof and I went ahead to the Polar Express. Rich braved the next few hours with Caden. We think he had food poisoning. It was NOT the way we wanted to end a crazy week. Our life is really so exciting:>:>. Sat we skipped the other potentially fun activities we had planned. We opted for nothingness. Rich and I just needed a day. I was afraid to leave the house, scared someone may start vomiting everywhere, wherever we went. At that point I wasn't sure if it was food poisoning or the flu. Caden is doing much better now....well enough to be back to nonsense. He asked the other night what was going on with his luck lately. He said he felt like he had a plague. On Sat night we decided to get Chinese. Caden broke into his fortune cookie and it read, " you will find good health..." !!!! I looked for a map or compass in the take out bag, to assist us in the "finding" part, BUT didn't find a thing. Let's cross our fingers that he doesn't break his other arm looking for it. Soooo here's to hoping on his Chinese fortunes.
