Sick Girl

We have had our share of sickness lately.  First Olivia had the stomach bug for about 2 1/2 days.  Seemed like you couldn't even stand ginger ale or Gatorade.  By the end of day 3 she looked like she had lost 10lbs and for those who know her....she doesn't have even 1lb to lose.  Then Hannah woke up with the croup and that has turned into a sinus infection and ear ache.  Each night it seems like she begs to go to bed because she is soooo tired but the minute she falls asleep she is coughing so bad we have to get her up. 

It is this beautiful dance really.  I get you in a steamy bath and you sleep up against the side until the water turns off.  You immediately start crying to get out.  I put you into my bed and get you on a breathing treatment and you watch cartoons until its done.  We snuggle in and close our eyes but still somehow you can't seem to stop coughing.  I give you a cough drop and downstairs we go.  Its much cooler downstairs so I get you all tucked in the little couch and I take the big one.  We watch TV until you basically pass out. 

Its very painful for a mommy to watch her girls be so sick. You really don't even think about how tired you are until 3 weeks have gone by without a good nights sleep.  All you can really think of is what you can do to make it all better.  I am praying for a good nights sleep tonight!
