Today was another pretty eventful day for us. Well, in the end, not really - but definitely busy.
I was able to go in to work today. We again didn't really get much sleep. The girls just kept waking up, and waking each other up, all night. Christian finally brought Olivia out on the couch for the night, but I kept having to get up with Amelia. Poor things - they sounded like they were in such pain when they would cry out.
So, I was pretty much the walking dead at work, just as I suspected I would be. I broke down and make the girls appointments to get checked out. I was mainly worried about Amelia's ears and Olivia's eyes, so I figured we were better safe than sorry, and should get it checked out. The woman at the appointment center had to check just about every clinic around the cities before she finally found me a back to back for this afternoon. I was able to get a ton of stuff done at work today, which felt good after being gone yesterday. Then, I left for the day a little early so I could head home to pick up the girls and get to their appointments on time.
After a thorough check of their ears, eyes, and everything else - the doctor was convinced it was completely viral. So, good news - no ear infections, pink eye or anything of the sort. Bad news - there is nothing we can do to help them or treat it. Just the traditional wait it out.
By the end of the night, Amelia seemed to be doing much better. She still had the raspy smoker's voice going on, but she was laughing and playing and being her goofy self. Olivia was pretty miserable - wouldn't really eat and just wanted to lay down and watch her Dora video - which is not like her at all. We gave them some Honey for their throats before bed, and some Benedryl (at the doctor's suggestion). Let's hope they get what they really need tonight...SLEEP!
