MY SICK BABIES

I'm so caught up in the memory of my poor daughter shaking with exhaustion, fever and dry heaves. The chills made her arms feel coarse and foreign, so unike the baby soft skin that normally greets my touch. The far away, glazed look in her eyes as I made her again lean over the bowl.

Why do little kids have to get sick? Today she act like she feels better but my son is afraid to eat anything. I think he got it much worse than she did and his whole abdomen must still hurt. The only thing that he will touch is grape gatorade (yuk) He had some noodle soup for dinner but didn't finish it.

But at least he's drinking fluids. Maybe tomorrow we will get some popcicles.
