Sick babies

Both the girls are sick with nasal congestion. It started early Monday morning, around 0200 with Juliette. Randall took her to the doctor on Monday and they tested her for RSV which was negative so I guess it's just a cold. Caroline started getting it yesterday. They haven't had fever, they are eating well. It's just hard to lie them flat because their little noses are so stuffed up. They have become good friends with the saline drops and the bulb syringe. They hate having their noses suctioned out and it makes them gag. I feel so bad for them, but it could be worse. I am glad it's not RSV. So we have been giving them lots of loving and keeping them hydrated, suctioned, using the humidifier and pretty much holding them upright so they can breathe better. Hopefully, it won't last too long. Tomorrow they will get another round of RSV shots and I will take Juliette back for a recheck. I will have to let them know Caroline has it now too.
