Tried to change it at CO.com but it's repricing the whole itinerary, and the total difference + change fee is over $900 (paid half of that price for the roundtrip). Any idea on how to avoid the change fee?

Thanks!
You can avoid the change fee by going to MSY and flying to IAH. If you miss your MSY - IAH segment, the entire trip will be canceled and the value forfeited. Dropping the MSY - IAH segment constitutes a change and the ticket will be issued in the lowest fare bucket available which, as you mentioned, is significantly higher than what you already paid.
