The Saga Continues...2 down...

Well, we're finally on the mend here at the Hostetter household. Yesterday was a rough one...the only coherent thing Ryan said to me was, "Do you know what day it is?" I didn't know if it was a bad sign that he was that far removed from life or a good sign that he even cared! My mom called in the morning to tell me there were now 2 down...Owen had a 102 temp. He is still running a temp today, but it's not the flu, just a fever and cold-like symptoms. I knew he was really sick when at noon, yesterday, he BEGGED me for a nap. I wanted him to eat lunch, offered him everything I could think of, and he just walked upstairs and waited by the bed. Poor kid! An hour before his usual nap-time.
Today, Ryan actually went outside and was walking around and we even had dinner as a family! The boys didn't eat much, but it still counted!
As for my little girl, I have to say she proved me wrong in the last post! I fed her at 8:15pm and she was asleep right after 10:30pm, didn't wake up to eat until 3:30am and went right back to sleep. (This is where the issue has been. She had been getting up twice, but then not wanted to go back to sleep...staying up anywhere from an hour or until the next feeding...hence, no picnic!) She ended up sleeping until 8am when it was time to feed her again! Way to go, baby girl! You can prove me wrong any day! She had a repeat of Tuesday night again last night! It was quite nice!
Anyway, just wanted to update..thanks for all the care and concern...it's nice to be home again and hopefully on the down-side of all the sickness!
Until next time...
