UPDATE: The bank went with option 3 of below and has given us till Sat. to raise our offer if we'd like to the most we'd be willing to offer towards this house. We already gave our realtor our answer, but are already second guessing our decision. Ugghh...
No pictures today, just a quick update for those who haven't heard from us this week:
Noah and I got him into the dr. today...dr. said he definitely has some kind of virus that has been causing the high fevers for the past 3 1/2 days, and a double ear infection to boot. Although she said the ear infections alone should not be causing his temp to be that high (104.6 yesterday). His temp spikes up during the night, but then yesterday afternoon is when we got the 104 reading. Rectally, so it's like 103.6 i guess. He is taking Motrin and Tylenol round the clock, so not one of the 3 of us are sleeping well. And now after 3 days of high fever, we are now dealing with fever blisters on his tongue and inside of cheeks--poor kid! I can't imagine! Please pray for him--he was doing okay, for the first few days, but seems to be pretty bothered by the blisters at times and can go from running around playing to downright miserable in a matter of about 20 min. It will take a few days for the antiobiotic to kick in and clear up his ears, but he never once complained about those, so who knows...dr. said it was good that he had the fever issue or we may not have taken him in or known about the ears for a while yet. I hope they all clear up by the weekend...it has been a long week.
Speaking of long week, on the house front: we put a bid in on a house we saw last Fri. on Monday morning and heard back from them the same evening--weren't going to come down on price much at all...so since the house was well over the appraised price to begin with, we decided to not sit around waiting on them...Then Tuesday, the very next day, a house that we had previously looked at and liked a lot dropped back on the market. It's a foreclosure, so we are dealing with the bank on this one. We put a bid on this 2nd house on Wed. and found out today that we are one of 2 bids they've received--and it's only been back on the market for 3 days. Apparently the bank can decide to go with either one of our offers, or let us both raise our offers if we'd like to. Of course we'd love it if they went with our first offer, since it was less, but we'd be able to raise our offer if they give us that option. We really hope that either way, they at least allow us to raise it instead of going with the other offer...we like the house a lot and it would be a great buy for us, too.
So, please keep praying for us concerning Noah's health and the house issue. Matt has 30 hour famine with the kids this weekend, and it doesn't look like I'll be able to help out much, with Noah being sick. Pray for Matt, too, as I know he is feeling very tired...the last week and a half have been very busy and he is sooo in need of a break. I hope he doesn't come down with something worse than the yucky cold feeling he already has been fighting off.
On a positive note, the work day at the church last Sat. was a huge success--the teens and young adults got soooo much done and got a lot of props for the hard work...and the next day's Pie Auction brought in $8,800 to go towards summer camp and mission trip! It was a great success in all ways, we've heard lots of good things.
