We have decided that raising twins is not twice as hard as raising one baby, it is four times as hard. Especially when they are both sick. It has been a busy last 24 hours. Friday when I got home from work I was surprised to see my father sitting in my chair holding Reagan. It was a surprise because several hours earlier I had talked to him and he was in Charleston, SC. He knew we were getting our butts kicked and jumped a plane to the burgh to give us a hand. It was even harder than he thought it would be since Atlanta got snowed in and he was flying Delta. He got to the airport and his flight was cancelled so he got a different flight through Charlotte on USAir. We had no idea he was coming but it was a big help because last night at 6pm the Childrens Hospital nurse I was talking to told us it was time to take Reagan to the Emergency Department for dehydration. Luckily Passavant Cranberry has a pediatrician on duty in the E.D. every day from 1-10pm. Dad stayed with Riley and off we went. We were there for about 3 hours and they sent us home. Reagan and Riley are both puking alot now and we are having trouble keeping them hydrated. They both look so pathetic and helpless. You can tell by looking at them they feel miserable. Dad is here till Tuesday morning so it is a perfect time for an extra set of hands. Going to the E.D. is a scary experience for a new parent but we got through it ok. Looks like we are going to be house bound a few more days with two unhappy girls, two stressed parents and one very helpful grandpa.

Well Happy Valentines Day to the Gregg family. Dad was my gift to you. We just knew this is what we needed to do to help at this difficult time. I want to say thank you to our friends who have helped you out lately with food and taking over to give you a break. We will be back March 1 to help in any way we can, until then I will continue to pray for all of you. Love to the 4 of you, mom, fmil and grandma.
