Yep, now they both have it.

We took Mady for her pedi follow up and took Emma along, as she started with a fever yesterday and has been coughing for weeks. Turns out they both have pneumonia. They are both on antibiotics and Mady has a breathing treatment because she is wheezing. We have a re-check on Friday. I have to take a sick day tomorrow to stay home with them since they can't go to daycare, nor would I want them to when they aren't feeling well. I'm hoping by tomorrow, the fevers will be gone and they can attend daycare on Thursday. We really, really need to find a back-up for the days the girls can't go to daycare for whatever reason. It's Feb 16th and I've already used 1/2 vacation day and now one of only 3 sick days. Christian has stayed home with them as well. It's a little easier for him to work from home IF he's not busy because you can't work from home with twins. Working from home for him means working from the time I get home from work thru the wee hours of the morning to get caught up :(

Anyway, Mady had a bad night and Emma woke up screaming around 5am with a fever. The go up and down with how they feel overall. They were basically running and babbling the whole time at the doctors office, but you can always tell just by looking in Mady's eyes how she is really feeling. Yesterday she was very needy and so was Emma.

We need healthy kids to attend Eli's big first birthday bash on Saturday! I'm so worried about any underlying issues that cause Mady to get sick as much as she does. I just keep getting told that they are toddlers and they are in daycare. That sums it up!
