Need healing vibes for ElderGreenKid. Took him to the doc to
see if he has sports asthma, and the chest x-ray shows pneumonia. He just came off of antibiotics for Lyme, hasn't been feverish or coughing, so I'm not sure how it's pneumonia. We're putting him on a super-antibiotic, but if this doesn't clear it I'm going to raise again the question of mold, as we've had some in the house.

Thanks! :hi:

1. Good vibes your way...that move to the new house can't come soon enough...
Allergy tests have helped so many people find the culprit...

2. Thanks! At this point we're looking at end of October, if we're lucky. Wish I could
get the kids in there now. :(

3. Healing vibes for the ElderGreenKid!
Maybe it's a viral pneumonia? I don't really know...

Anyway, whatever it is, I hope it's gone very quickly!

At least your beautiful new home won't have any mold!

:hi:

7. Yes, mold can make you very sick.
My son had a mold problem in his house and one night had to go to the emergency room because of it.

9. Yeah. :^( We've been spraying it like crazy with bleach, and for a long time we thought
it was all good, but I found a new patch a few months ago and have no idea how long it was there. :( Sprayed that as well, of course, but who knows if I got it all.

8. Probably Mycoplasma pneumoniae bacteria
A sort of walking pneumonia that will respond to antibiotics and has few symptoms, but I am gathering he was short-of-breath on exertion and that is why you took him to be checked. Make sure to give him active culture yogurt or pro-biotics for his gut, he has been on antibiotics too long. Hopefully this will be all cleared up by the time you make the big move. Good vibes, kid has been through a lot.

10. Thanks! I really hope it's not from the mold. If it does turn out to be, tho, I will have
his little bro checked too.

Will definitely look for some probiotics, thanks!

11. You bet...I hope they get this figured out for you.
BabyG is allergic to seasonal mold and I have noticed he's been better since we moved down here. :hug:

13. Thank you! *hugs* Glad that BabyG is doing better down there. :^) Was that part of the
plan or a happy side effect?
