Sick Babies...

My poor kiddos are both sick. :(

The Girl has some crazy virus. We are on day 4 of the fever, and we've already been swabbed for strep and had a chest x-ray to rule out pneumonia. Her other symptoms were diarrhea and a slight cough, but otherwise she was fine. She's been eating ok and taking fluids. This morning she's got gunk coming out of her eyes and they're all pink. I think she may have pink eye.

The Boy's fever started last night. He doesn't have any other symptoms other than that.

So we're off to the pediatrician at 1:30 to get them checked out.

I'm so worn out and worried about them. It's heartwrenching when one baby is sick, but to have both under the weather is even more nerve-wracking.

Their dispositions are pretty cranky, too, so that doesn't make for a pleasant afternoon. Earlier you couldn't tell if they were ill or not because they were running around here like a couple of crack monkeys.
