Sick and Tired, but Cute

Well, we had about two weeks of good health and good eating. You wouldn't believe how much Eden was eating! I was really worried about her going all last month without eating solid food. I was afraid that she would forget how to eat, would develop some sort of oral aversion, and would need a feeding tube. Our pediatrician told me that he thinks she will be "like any other kid" and won't eat and will lose weight when she is sick, and will eat well and gain it back quickly when she is well. I really don't know how he knows. I was sure he was wrong and was trying to prepare for the worst. He was right though. She was seriously eating all sorts of food ALL DAY long. Holland was eating pretty well too. It was a good two weeks.

Of course, all good things must end. Holland started getting a runny nose last week Thursday. Yesterday morning Eden's nose started running and both girls were coughing a little. When we picked the girls up from grandma and grandpa's house yesterday evening Holland was wheezing pretty bad. We came home and quickly did two albuterol treatments in a row. Both girls were in pretty bad shape last night and we considered taking Holland to the ER. John and I took turns giving her treatments during the night. This morning, aside from REALLY runny noses, they seem OK and so far they are still eating OK. I hope, hope, hope, that this will end quickly and not develop into any ear infections or reactive airways. Everyone cross your fingers and toes for us!
