Is there anything worse than a sick child?

YES! Two sick children.

Lincoln has had various illnesses for the last two months and last week came down with a fever and horrible cough that still persists.

Tatum seemed to be fine until late Saturday night, her skin felt like it was on fire. Her fever finally broke late Sunday but her eyes are still glossed over and she has begun coughing.

The kids are not sleeping nor are they eating very well. Ben has taken on Tatum during the night and I am trying to pacify Lincoln.
They both seem to be a little better tonight and they are actually both asleep as I type.
It is hard to sleep knowing that you will be awakened again in a matter of minutes, and even if we happen to fall asleep we experience the phenomenon of 'phantom crying'.

We did go to the doctor (again) today and I am confident that we are going to knock this out!

Phantom crying is the worst! I've experienced it from the very first night we brought Cai home. I hope the kids are feeling better soon. Hang in there!
