My little sickies

I found out that I do not have strep throat which is good and bad. Good because, well, I don't have strep, and bad because now I don't really know what I have. I have been feeling much better the last two days though, and I have had plenty of strength to handle Emily and Ally. Emily is still feeling sick. She walks around holding her head and saying she is tired and needs a nap (for you who know Emily, this is not her normal behavior at all). I have brought her blanket and pillow out to the living room and set her up a bed on the couch. I let her watch cartoons because that is the best part about being sick. Today she seems to be doing better. She is still not running around so I know she is feeling bad. Allison started coughing and having a runny nose yesterday so I immediately set up a doctor's appointment for her. They didn't have anything available yesterday and since she didn't have a fever, I just went ahead and made the appointment for this morning. Last night, Ally woke up really congested and she was having some trouble breathing so I was really glad I had made the appointment. I took her to the doctor and he said she had a swollen nasal passage and he gave her some medicine. He didn't check for strep, probably because she didn't have a fever. So today I have both of the girls close to each other so they can share our humidifier and watch cartoons. Dave and I were planning to head to Dallas on Saturday for Christmas but I think it is going to be Sunday depending on how the girls are acting. Ally doesn't act like she is sick. She is still squealing and smiling like normal. That is really comforting to see she doesn't feel too bad.
The good thing about having 2 sick babies is that they sleep a lot and I have plenty of time to read, but I rather have to healthy babies and no time to read.
