A few months ago I posted about a chronic cough I was having. Very scared

the Hodgkin's had come back because that was my only symptom the first time.

Cat scan reveled no disease, but still the cough. Well, in my home where I

am with my children 24 hrs a day we found mold growing in the laundry room

walls. We had a leak in a pipe, who knows how long. Construction guy said

don't worry it is just mildew. Well I still sent a sample off and it came

back positive for all mold types and the highest level in most. BLACK MOLD

We all moved out last week. The results of an air test came back 2 days ago

that it is airborne. We have environmental specialists in our home and we

are going to have an extraction of the mold with a negative air pressure

cleanup starting Monday. Meanwhile, I started a new job yesterday. My

daughters 1st day of kindergarten is in one week and we are all living at a

Best Western. Worst of all my daughter has a rash and a post-nasal drip, I

have a cough and it is all most likely due to the TOXIC MOLD!!!!

I have a surgical mask (from my low counts days) on right now while I am in

the house, I'd better get out. Everyone take care.
