We are sick. So, so icky sick. First I got a cold, then Heaten got a cold, then Shenzie got a cold. The funny thing is they are different….mine is stuffy nose, sore throat, no cough, no fever. Theirs are runny, stuffy nose, deep hacking cough, and fever. Poor little bugs. Shenzie coughs so hard she can’t breath and then freaks out because she isn’t breathing and then cries which just makes it worse.

This is the sickest Shenzie has ever been (even sicker than when she had RSV I think). I can count on one finger how many times one of the twinzies has slept thru the night in my bed. The one finger was last night. Poor Shenzie is just SO sick that nothing is helping so I thought being close to Mama might make her feel a bit better. Needless to say we were up all night long with her coughing and unable to breathe.

She is currently napping in my bed, and oh my heavens, so sweet and cute.

I am not certain they have just a cold, all I know is it is taking FOREVER to go away. Heaten first got sick last Wednesday and he is worse now then he was then. Thank heavens he isn’t as bad as Shenzie and just has a barking cough and runny nose now. His spirits are up and he is happy and normal. I begged Jeff to stay home from work today because Shenzie is so sick and won’t let me leave her side which leaves little time for Heaten Bear who still needs his cuddles too. There is nothing more sad and heartbreaking than seeing your kids in pain, upset, and crying and not being able to do anything about it. =( I pray tomorrow is better.
