Our Funny Mc Donald’s Story
Back in February my husband and I had made plans to go away for a week by ourselves and those plans ended up falling through because we had no one to watch our little girl. So we decided to plan another trip – we would take our daughter to Tahoe with us for the week and made new arrangements ect. All excited that our trip wasn’t off after all we packed and were ready to go when our little princess then came down with the flue. I have never seen my little one so sick. My poor baby was throwing up and had problems with diareah too, needless to say it was awful – I just wanted to be sick for her. She couldn’t even keep water down except for a teaspoon! Now having only one child and never having had her this sick before I am ready to rush her to the emergency room for an IV because I just can’t beleive a teaspoon of water every couple of hours is keeping her hydrated enough! To top it off this is all happening on a weekend where you can’t get a hold of a doctor anyway except through an exchange! Has any one else gone through this! Very frustrating! But anyhow we continued through the next three days like this – barf bowl within reach at all times. Anytime something sounded good to her like chicken noodle soup and toast we would make it – she would eat it and then we would be cleaning out the bowl 10 minutes later. Until…….. on day 4 I said honey is there anything I can get you that sounds good and she said , ” I want a kids meal from Mc Donalds with a toy!” My husband who absolutley cannot stand Mc Donalds went over and ordered his first kids meal with a toy – the good folks over at Mcy D’s talked him through the traumatic experience and he made it home with the package. He was very proud of himself. Our daughter who hadn’t eaten or kept anything down in four days ate and kept down her chicken mc nuggets and fries! Not chicken soup, not crackers, not pedialyte pops but Mc Donalds! So that prompted me to save the little nutritional chart they post on the happy meal bags so I could share it with you. I am also hearing that they are supposed to be getting rid of the hydrogenated crap they fry everything in and replacing it with something healthier? We’ll see. http://www.mcdonalds.com/app_controller.nutrition.index1.html
