Good News, Bad News

The good news is that we can actually afford the estimate for repairing the house and completing the sale! The fact that the damage doesn't extend behind the brick was definitely an answer to prayer because it would have added a lot to the cost. Unfortunately, we also found out that the house we were seriously considering putting an offer on sold this week! We still have a few that we can consider, but of course each has its own set of flaws. We're going to look at a few more tomorrow and hopefully find one that we really like. The other bad news is that Luke is sick. It seems to be sinus/allergy related, but we can't really tell for sure. He does know how to time getting sick on the weekends so that the doctor's office charges after-hours fees. His breathing always becomes labored when he's sick or congested so we started up the inhalers tonight. I'm sitting across the room from him though and can still hear him breathing - I'm really hoping that doesn't mean we'll be in for another trip to the ER for treatments.
