So much is going on with Gabrielle I don't even know where to begin. As I posted a week ago, she's sick again. Jeremy took her back to see her pediatrician yesterday because she wasn't getting better since seeing her on Monday. It turns out she has pneumonia again. She is now on 4 different medications: Augmentin (antibiotic), Albuterol (breathing treatment through a nebulizer again), Zyrtec at bedtime (for allergies), and PediaCare Cough medicine. I hope she gets better quickly. She's responding well to the medication and she acts like she feels ok so that's a good sign.
We also made the decision to take her out of daycare. Not only because she keeps getting sick, but mainly because it's so expensive and there's really no need for it right now. Jeremy isn't working at the moment and there's no point in paying $213.00 a week for daycare when she can stay home with him. He is going to try to find a midnight position so we can continue to save the $1100 a month (between Gabby's daycare and Evan's latchkey) and put that toward a rent or mortgage payment. We won't see each other as much, but at least we'll have enough money to live comfortably. Evan will continue to go to summer latchkey because that was required to be paid for in advance, but once school starts again he will go back to riding the bus to and from school.
p.s. Gabby weighed 19 pounds even at the doctors office yesterday.
