Sorry I haven't written for a while.

Well I am back at work full time. I'm not sure I put that in my last blog. It is sometimes hard to focus with everything else going on.

We heard back about Eric's CAT scan. The Dr. said it looked good, so he was referring us to the people at St. Anthonys. They haven't called to schedule an appointment yet.

Last weekend, Christopher woke up at 4 am throwing up. First he threw up in our bed. We only own two sets of sheets, one on our bed and one on Susan and Martin's bed. So we had to dig to find some new sheets. We then learned the throw up signs of Christopher. So as soon as he showed him we would practically throw him off the bed and run in the bathroom with him. I taught him how to throw up in the toilet. He threw up several more times that morning. He seemed fine the rest of the day. Although he would run to the bathroom and spit in the toilet and tell us he was throwing up. On Sunday, Susan started getting sick and we thought it was a migrain until one by one we ran to the bathroom. At one point, both bathrooms were taken so one of us had to run to the kitchen trashcan. We hoped that Eric would not get it, but after I left for work on Monday he started to get sick. I felt pretty bad but I was not throwing up, so I guess around one, Betty told me to go home. When I got there it was a sad sight. There were several trashcans in the living room. The house was completely dark and everyone had sad faces. I crawled in bed and slept for several hours. So we had a pretty wearing weekend. Eric missed therapy on Monday and Tuesday because of it.

We are all better now, just very leary of the last thing we ate before we got sick. I could handle never seeing a salad again. Actually I could handle never having a taco salad again. I know that was not what made me sick, but still!

I also didn't say that Christopher went home with my mom for a week. He got to be with a little of everybody up there. He got to ride 4 wheelers, ride a boat, jump off a boat...you know all the things you can do in the country. He had a good time.
