Illness of the week club

More excitement in the Adams' household. This weekend, Molly is experimenting with projectile vomiting. Not a lot of fun for anyone... apparently a stomach flu is going around at school and our beautiful girl caught it.

In addition to this lovely turn of events, and the uncertain shadow it casts across the rest of the weekend, we decided to have another adventure last night. Molly and Adam were playing and Molly started crying... then she wasn't moving her left arm. She continued to not move her left arm, and looked a little scared... we bundled up and went to Urgent Care, where we discovered that she'd tweaked her left elbow joint (a ligament) and the doctor popped it back in place. This morning you'd never know it had happened, but apparently it is likely to recur. Adam recognized the problem, saying he's had that with his hip and knee in the past. So, now I guess we know to keep an eye on stuff like this for the future.

This morning, Molly is pretty happy. Kinda glad about that and crossing our fingers that the vomiting episodes are over.
