Darn Bug!

Both of the babies are sick...and it sucks. They both seem to have caught the cold that Dave brought home with him from work. Jack has been sick for the past three days, and I wish he were back to his old happy self, but we are stuck with a sad, whiny, screaming baby until he feels better (hopefully tomorrow). I am keeping Penny home from school tomorrow so that she can rest, and not get anyone else sick... :( It seems to be more like a severe cold rather than the flu. They don't have a fever (thank goodness...as Penny is prone to febrile seizures when she gets too hot)...but they have allot of congestion, runny noses, and coughing. Chloe goes in to see the new dermatologist on Tues. It has been a three month fight to get her to see the specialist...back and forth from Dr. to Dr., and waiting for referrals takes forever...Her Hemangioma (on the back of her neck) has come back, and they will be using a pulse dye laser this time to treat it, as opposed to cutting it off and doing a biopsy....which they did last time. I hope it does not come back after this....it's really distressing watching your daughter bleed out from her neck for 10-20 min. at a time. We are very optimistic about this treatment, and I constantly remind Chloe that it could be allot worse. Another sleepless night..my sleep schedule has been thrown off...with Jack being sick and waking up constantly thru the night...and once I am awake...I have a very hard time getting back to sleep. Dave let me sleep in this morning...thank goodness. Unfortunately, he works tomorrow and Chloe has school...which means I am up and running by 6:30a.m. Which reminds me that I probably should get to bed. Until later! Ciao!
