Word of Caution:

Our oldest son, Teddy, recently became VERY ILL after eating a Grilled Chicken Go Wrap from a fast food restaurant in Lexington, SC. I had taken him to our pediatrician. Initially, they believed it to be a very bad bug. They did a CBC and stool culture just in case. Two days later, he contacted me to inform us that it was Campylobacter food poisoning. We discussed the last place he had eaten and the fact that it was the most likely culprit. Naomi also had a wrap but did not want any of it since she had eaten too much cake earlier (Thank Heavens). We had a total of three days of fever up to 103 degrees, constant diarrhea, and vomiting as well as 3 hours combined sleep. Teddy was constantly crying/moaning and said "I have a lot of boo boos in my belly". He would not eat/drink anything for us including gatorade which he loves. Fortunately, he is now much better and is on an antibiotic to help knock out any bacterial infection. Just wanted to remind everyone how important food safety is and to think twice before allowing others to handle your food.
