Sick, Sick, Sick

Ahhhh - this whole little family of 4 is sick sick sick. We all just have colds, but little Drew also has pink eye. Both of my kiddos have been up almost the whole night for the past 5 nights straight. I'm looking forward to them sleeping through the night (an me sleeping through the night) sometime in the, hopefully, near future. . . It's horrible when your sick yourself and just can't get any sleep.
Also, need advice - We usually have the child-lock on Drew's bedroom door so he can't get out and roam around in the middle of the night. We took it off about 2 months ago. He did fine at first, but then he began coming out of his room and 'needing' things before he fell asleep at night. We handled that ok but then he started coming in to our room at 3am saying he was ready to get up, couldn't sleep, or was hungry. We walked him back down to his room, but he'd be back multiple times before 6am. So, the child-lock is back ON the door. Now, he yells up through the baby monitor for me to come down to his room at 3am instead (just for the past 5 days that he's been sick). THIS CHILD has NEVER had sleeping issues like this since he was 3 months old. So... from those of you who have been there -- what do we do???
