My daughters were always getting sick when there were really small. At the time they shared a room. There were always coughing and gettin colds even when it wasn’t winter time and they weren’t even in school yet. We couldn’t figure out why they were always sick then i had done some reaserch and found out that mold could cause respiratory problems in people and could be in your home without knowing it. One day we decided to redo the girls room with new paint because the previous owners made it a boys room with blue walls and cloud wallpaer on the ceiling. We took the wallpaper off the ceiling to find black mold all over it. We removed the ceiling entirley and the insulation and put all new and then repainted it cleaned everything up and are girls were never sick again after that. Mold is scary stuff so now every house we have moved into after that it is the first thing we get looked into for.

I was hospitalised twice with asthma while visiting my mum in Maryland before they found mold in her guest bedroom!!
I had childhood asthma but staying in that bedroom is literally the only 2 times I’ve had a problem since I was about 12.
I highly recommend reading Dr Jill Carnhan’s Work on mold because you may like to consider giving Marlow some glutathione for example, to help her clear the mold mycotoxins from her system now the acute flare is over, just to ensure she doesn’t have any below-the-surface lingering effects from the exposure.

In reply to Amy Gare.

Also interested in how you went about finding the service to use? Interested in doing this, but I feel a quick google search doesn’t cut it for this type of situation.

Oh Im so glad to read this. It broke me everytime I saw her on your stories having to go to the doctor or having therapy at home. My nieces have terrible cough and they give them therapy (they hate it but it helps them a lot) but it always make me sad seeing them in pain. So I get what your feeling since I witnessed it all.
But on the other hand, im so glad you guys found the problem and Marlowe is doing so much better and doing so good.
Always wishing you guys the best.

So glad you’ve been able to figure her tiggers out. My son also has asthma, as well as food and environmental allergies., one of which is mold. It’s great that you found the issue with your home and getting that resolved, that will be a HUGE help. Just keep in mind that when it rains, she could have flares. It took me a while to figure out why my son was having random flare ups, which finally was linked to rain/rainy days/ponding of water.

In regards to her upcoming testing-take things to keep her occupied that she enjoys (iPad/games/ourballery office has DVD players with tv’s in each room so that may be an option or a new toy as a reward). The worst part is waiting after as things can get itching and uncomfortable & you can’t scratch!

So happy Miss Marlowe is feeling better and you’ve figured out the mold issue, hopefully the worst is behind her.

I grew up near Seattle, where it’s wet outside basically year-round. This means that anywhere it possible can grow, mold is a problem. The first apartment my ex and I lived in a first-floor corner unit in the shade. We were sick constantly! It caused my minor asthma issues to flair up and I was at the doctor at least once a week. We found an apartment closer to my ex’s work and when we moved some of our bigger furniture, we found toxic black mold growing inside the walls of our bedroom and living room. So gross! As soon as we were out and we replaced our bedding, all of our health issues stopped. Mold can be so dangerous, but so hard to detect unless you know where to look. I’m so glad you found the trigger and that Marlowe is doing so much better. We were on a similar journey with my kiddo a couple years ago, when he developed asthma after a bad case of bronchitis. He’s doing well now, but has to use both inhalers at the first sign of a cough or cold or when he visits his grandparents every summer, because they have pets. Asthma is no fun, but hopefully the worst is over for Miss Marlowe.

Austinair.com filters are the cadillac of air filters. Recommended by my naturopathic physician they have changed my family’s life. Started by a husband trying to save his ailing wife:

They use a medical-grade HEPA filtration system.
Best of luck
