Scenes from our living room.....

Caitlin got really sick on Saturday evening. Brandon followed on Sunday evening. Neither one of them is eating, although Caitlin has been drinking milk. Brandon is rarely able to keep solids down, but amazingly kept down 2 slices of apple and a few Cheerios this afternoon. Dairy is a given, but we've also discovered he can't keep down grape flavored Pedialyte. So far, apple juice heavily diluted with water has worked out the best for both kids. Both of them are so weak that they just kind of fall down when they walk. Brian and I have never seen Brandon so ill. It's kind of like having newborns again. The last few days both kids have been up for around 6 hours per day, in total! They are both doing 2 naps a day, and I'm having to wake them up after a few hours. Although I'm getting a lot done during their naps, I'm willing to give that up to have my kids back!

Brandon laid on the couch for 2 hours this afternoon and watched "Cars" between his two naps





At least Caitlin managed to be in a good mood for a little while this afternoon. She has no energy and keeps falling over from weakness (she's not eating much), but she's kinda happy!
