I think the title says it all.

And it's struck both kids at the same time. They were up about every half hour for most of the night. I sent Mr. Moogster into Chickie's room so he could get some sleep. He went to work today, and I'm home with both of the girls.

Chickie is still sick and can't keep anything down. To top it off, she spiked a fever, which, in and of itself is not overly alarming. I just can't give her any meds because she won't be able to keep them down. Meelie doesn't seem to have it as bad, or so I'm hoping.

UPDATE: Chickie just now got out of the bathtub (she was cold) and said it made her feel better, and the fever has dropped. Now Meelie is in the tub so I thought I'd get a little break while it's quiet.

Poor things. They were so miserable. I'm hoping they are on their way to recovery, though I suspect they will be resting all day.

It's a bit tough because neither one of them want me to get out of their site for very long. I really don't mind as long as it helps them feel better.

One of the toughest things for me to deal with when my girls are sick is that there is really nothing I can do except be there for them. They are resting now, in my bed and watching TV. Maybe I'll be able to catch up on some sleep while they do.

UPDATE #2: Woot! Nothing has come back up since about 11:30 this morning. Chickie's fever went back up but I was able to give her some medication (finally) and it seems to be going back down. Meelie is alot better though still lazing about. Right now they are working on some ice chips after drinking a bit of apple juice.
