Sick Kid and Screw Madden

Since Tuesday, I have had one sick kid.  Saturday, we were at the baseball field playing baseball for 10 hours.  Needless to say, we were all tired on Sunday.  All day Monday and Tuesday, the wife had the kids at the fair showing cows.  Again, very tired kids.  Tuesday, the oldest seemed like he might be sick but it was hard to tell.  Wife said he didn't eat all day but they were busy and we didn't think too much.  By Wednesday, we were sure he was sick.  Still not eating and very lethargic.  The rest of the family had passed a stomach bug around and we figured the oldest had finally got it.  Fast forward to Friday.  Picked the kid up at grandmas after work and decided that Saturday morning we were going to see the doctor.  Still not eating and now running a fever.  We had all got rid of the bug in two days and no fever.  He wakes up at midnight crying about his stomach.  It was very tender to the touch so we decided we couldn't wait until morning.  I loaded up the kid while wife stayed home with youngest.  We signed in at 12:30.  At 5:30 it was decided that we could go home.  His white blood cell count was up so they decided to do a ct scan to rule out appendicitis.  They said his lymph nodes in and around his stomach were inflammed leading them to believe that he just had a really bad stomach bug.  Said he would be fine in 3-5 more days.  As of today, he finally ate a little of a shake.  First bites since Monday.  He seems to be a touch better but still dragging and still going to the bathroom. 

I decided I would break down and get Madden 10 as a suprise for him and his brother and myself.  I bought it and on the way home, had buyers remorse.  I have 07 and the boys like it but I really don't play it.  Stuck it in to see if I really wanted to unwrap 10.  My 5 year old not only whipped my ass, he talked smack the entire time.  Screw Madden 10, it is going back to the store.
