Both twins sick - any advice

So now both girls have ear infections and terrible colds.  Audrey is better b/c she's been on antibiotics longer. I've had dh home since last Thurs but he's gone today. The girls are on completely different eating and sleeping schedules and both want to be held all the time.  Any advice on getting through the day?

    Go with survival mode.  Let them sleep when and where they can, and eat what they will.  If you can try to bring them towards a similar schedule great, if not, go with it.

    Those are the types of days that my Ergo was invaluable. Worry about syncing their schedules back up once they're feeling better. Until then, go into survival mode. We found that humidifiers, saline nose spray, and Vicks Vapor Rub on their feet all really helped them feel better.

    Hope you get through this quickly!

    No advice. I agree with the Ergo and just going into survival mode. I wanted to say, though, that I feel for you. I've been there and it is rough. Just remember this too will pass and one day soon you will all be healthy again.
