Strike two...

Good news - Ainsley is better and back at school for 2 days now.
Bad news - She's still coughing a lot at night in her sleep, and waking up.

Good news - Shaun's appears to be moving faster than Ainsley's was.
Bad news - It is hitting faster yes, but harder as well I think.

Good news - we made it through the week, 2 days with Neena Pat (thanks again)!, 1 day mommy, 1 day daddy, 1 day split half/half between mommy/daddy.
Bad news - I have no idea how next week will go if they aren't fully recovered. Neena Pat heads to Pebble Beach Monday, and Daddy has a business trip in San Francisco on Wednesday.

Good news - So far we've managed not to spread further than between the siblings in our house.
Bad news - That meant missing 3 days of school and 1 swim lesson for Ainsley and 3 days of school and likely 2 baseball practices for Shaun. Oh, and about 7-8 days of very little sleep for mommy and daddy being up with sick kids. ;-(

Good news - It's just a virus, more annoying than health threatening, we have flexible, salaried jobs and bosses, and a great helpful, supportive network of friends and family who help when they can.

I guess in the end there is more good news than bad news ... so who needs sleep anyway?
