Oh, my, that sounds truly horrible. All I can think (as a parent) is how exhausted you must be to have to worry about two sick kids on top of the jet lag. What to say - it can only get better? I hope the girls improve quickly and all further bugs will avoid you by a generous margin.
And - happy birthday, provided it's actually yours and not your Dad's!
