Easter and Sick Babies

Happy Late Easter Everyone!! We had quite the Easter. Cheltzi and Dominik are both sick. Cheltzi wanted to get excited when she saw the Easter baskets out, but she had a hard time. She just said, "Ooh what is this?" She got excited and started yapping like a puppy when she realized there were hidden eggs. The egg search lasted about five minutes and she found less than a 1/4 of them. Boy am I glad we aren't a family that uses real eggs. I felt so bad she felt yucky. We were in the ER at Jordan Valley Hospital the two nights before. We were all very tired. After her five minute egg search she sat down on Kevin's lap with Dominik's book. They both got Little Golden books. But I guess she knows the Little Mermaid inside and out so she wasn't as interested in her book as she was with Cars.
Cheltzi has Strep throat and Dominik has croup and pneumonia. Dominik is on the upside of his yuckies, but still has a pretty nasty cough. He has been such a trooper and so happy. He has been smiley pretty much the whole time. If I could get him to eat a bit more I would be even happier with his progress, but he is still having a hard time breathing.
Cheltzi has been throwing up. She has so much junk in her throat she gags and throws up. She gags on everything I have given her to bring down the fever. The last time I took her temperature it was at 104.3. I called the hospital and had Dr. Lloyd paged because I was really worried about it, but he said it really wasn't anything to worry about. She has been waking up all night. I couldn't get back to sleep after the last time she woke up. Quite a bit of work was involved. She got out of bed and tried to go poop by herself but the light was off and yeah I'm sure you can imagine. I ended up having to clean the floor the toilet and her. Poor thing. This is the first time she has been sick like this so we are having quite the time trying to figure out what to do for her.
