How long can a mom go without sleep???? I'm doing pretty good...this is the 11th day the twins have had this bug and I'm averaging about 4 hrs per night. Pretty good until one is driving downtown and their children tell them to get into their own lane.........I told them I was just practicing to go to Europe one day. Maybe I should let them drive.
So....both babies are now on Antibiotics, (and if you know me...this is a very difficult thing for me to do). But I have tried everything else...and I guess I'm buckling under pressure. The doctors did not take any swabs, test or anything else....just prescribed the drugs. If they could give me some indication of what they think it is...I would feel more at ease in administering the drugs that are going to kill all the good and bad flora in their intestines! (Okay, Uncle Kelly, Grandma, Sandi, Louise.....none of you medical people are allowed to reply to that last sentence! *smile*) I am a fanatic.....I know.... but we all have our vices don't we?
Anyway, antibiotics and steriods at the hospital for Samuel's croup. I thought I had beat this croup thing since Brycen's last admittance to the hospital for croup was 2 yrs ago. So much for children growing out of this by the time they are 5yrs. old. I guess it must be a preemie thing.....but I have never heard of cows getting croup.......and as my family knows, Brycen has cow lung lining. Okay.....so now all you medical professionals can pipe in here and tell me how that works!!!!!
So....please pray for my little ones.....and scripture says that faith without deeds is dead, so I expect y'all to put feet on your faith and be on my doorstep by morning.

I feel for ya! With Jason gone, and Malakai with Roseola... and Zion's overall crappy sleep habits, I am averaging about 2-4 hours total a night, with waking every 1 hour, and up for the day between 4-5am. It's HORRIBLE...
I have no advice, except that the current virus is lasting about 4 weeks, and up to 3 months residual cough... sorry i don't have better news.
I have to say I'm not into antibiotics in these cases either... what can I say, I'm not free and easy with my drugs... not that kind anyway :)
Hope your doing ok, and I will pray for strength. I wish I could come over and give you a sanity break... hey, I could bring my 4 and we could have a gong show!!!
Stay sane...
Sandi
