Her fever was up to 103 last night and at some point during the night I'm certain it was higher (tho I didn't check) because her mouth was so hot it was physically painful to nurse her. Her breathing is starting to become a little labored and RSV is rampant in town right now. Missy, Elisabeth and Alicia all have babies with it and Carolina was in the hospital for three days because of it.
The good news is that she's nursing. The bad news is that she can't sleep. She just whimpers. It's very sad. The other bad news is that Jason, who we went to visit this weekend in Houston, just got diagnosed with bronchialitis/pneumonia yesterday.
We were already scheduled for her four month appt this morning so we're going in. Actually all four kids are scheduled this morning -- the older three to get their first Hep A vax (mandatory in TX). So I'm relatively certain I'll be leaving the ped's office with four miserable children.
What I'm praying for is that I'm not leaving the ped's office to go to the hospital with the baby. Please, God, let her be okay. And let us fight off this illness at home.
Ruth's has agreed to pay part of our rent for the next three months so I think we're going to go ahead and rent in Richmond, which is just south of the Westpark in Katy. We'll be close enough to Kane and Nicole, but far enough that the rent is a bit more palatable ($1500 a month; eek; and that's good!). Schools are rated highly in the neighborhood we're looking at so that's good. And then in 12-18 months, we'll go ahead and buy ... likely in Cinco Ranch.
I feel peaceful about the decision but sad at the same time. I just thought this process would go more smoothly. And I really hate the idea of renting (and MOVING AGAIN). But we'll get it done. I have to believe that there's a greater plan in all of this and there's a reason for it all ...
