Poor babies

We found out yesterday that the girls have the flu! We aren't sure where they contracted it from since no one that has visited them is sick, but regardless, they got it somewhere.
Poor little angels are very congested and having trouble breathing so they have upped their oxygen levels to help them a little bit. You can tell they don't feel good because they just want to cuddle and be held. It took every bit of strength to walk out of the hospital tonight and leave them after we got them to sleep. I know that I am a brand new mom, but I think the hardest thing so far is seeing your children sick! It is just HEARTBREAKING! I know that they are in the best place and that I need to let them rest and not get sick myself - but I just want to sit there all day and hold and cuddle them all day!
On the bright side - the nurses and doctor were very pleased with how they did last night and we are hoping and praying that this is a mild case of the flu and they kick it fast and get better.
This is really frustrating because it means that they girls will need to remain at the hospital for a couple more weeks now to ensure they are completely healthy. They aren't trying to bottle feed them as much while they are sick, so they won't learn it as quickly which was the last thing they had to learn before they could come home. *huge sigh* Our poor babies... Get well soon pumpkins! We love you!
