March 16th, 2010

The girls are still recovering slowly. They haven't had fevers since the weekend, but their coughs are getting worse. We are hopeful that the coughing is a sign that we are almost done with RSV. We are going to try to send them back to preschool tomorrow. These are some of the pictures that we have taken over the last few weeks.

Before the girls got sick, we took them out to Dennis and Sharlla's farm so we could enjoy the beautiful weather. The girls love talking about horses and cows, but were scared to death of the horses when they saw them up close! Stella was hanging on to James for dear life!
This picture was taken a day or two after they got sick. They left the living room and got really quiet, and when I went in to check on them they were playing together.
We have tried several different options to make the breathing treatments more exciting. The coloring in the high chair method was effective for less than 2 minutes!
We also tried to get one of them to entertain the other one during breathing treatments. That method also failed miserably. After giving breathing treatments around the clock for a week, we have come to realize that there is no easy way to do them.
