Thw Twins are Sick

Hello My Internet Journal Online Family.

The twins are sick. That is why I haven't posted for a few days. They both had their flu shot at the end of September, but I didn't give then the H1N1 vaccination. They are still home with me and don't go to daycare. After watching some of the side effects and recalls of the drug I decided not to give them the swine flu shot. If they start day school next year then I most likely will give them both vaccines.

Well back to the cold that they currently have. It's a chest cold for the most part. Both of the twins have bad coughs and runny noses, but no fever thank God. My little boy is coughing so hard that it causes him to bring up his food after he eats and it's hard to get him to drink anything. My little girl's cough as a little less severe and she's only vomited once.

But they are both miserable at night. I think I was able to squeeze 4 hours of sleep in last night. They sleep in the same room and once one fell asleep then the other one would wake up, start crying, and wake the other one back up. They both knocked out for the last time around 2am. My little girl was back up at 6am crying, stuffed up, and with a runny nose. So needless to say, I am tired. I may actually allow myself to take a 1 hour nap today while they nap. I'll let you know.

Til next time, my internet journal online family.
