oh no it's almost been a whole week!!!

The twins had the flu all last week. I didn't know it was the flu until Wednesday afternoon, but I think they caught it from Sage. Lucy still can get febrile seizures when her fever shoots up, so I was waking up every 3-4 hours at night to give her medication. The first night I noticed she was warm I gave her medication, brought her to our room and began cooling her head and back with a wet towel waiting for the medicine to kick in. She started to get fever chills and I worried about her seizing. Because she is asking me why ALL the time, I spent some time explaining about her fever and how the wet towel helps her to not get the shake shakes. Last year she seized once, which is the only time since her initial seizure back when she was 16 months, she remembers and it scares her. I explained why she got the shake shakes and that she would be OK. She is such a doll and although I know she felt terrible, when I'd put the towel on her head, she'd look in my eyes and smile. A sweet smile filled with pure love and trust and I could tell she felt very safe on my lap. I really do love being a mother. There is nothing like it.
