Sick Children

THE Twins were sick recently. But the symptoms were unusual. In Buggy, it presented as extreme lethargy and an inability to keep cow's milk down. She slept most of the day. Then she slept some more. At first Dad thought it was just a sleep deficit catching up with her (on three days the week before, she did not take a nap). But the vomiting confirmed her being ill.

The next day, she was able to keep powdered milk down.

The subsequent day, EJ began running a fever and was also extremely tired, sleeping for several hours during nap time. He is a regular 90 minute napper, so for him to nap close to three hours is unusual. While not sleeping, he was extremely quiet and passive. While nice for Dad, he would prefer his Son be his usual bounce-off-the-wall self.

Sick boy lays passively. Temp: 101 F.

One good thing came out of Buggy being sick. She is not a cuddler, but while sleepy she does like to snuggle. She snuggled a lot with Dad and seems to have enjoyed it enough to repeat it once well again. Yay!
