As I sit here I am bombarded with conflicting and raging emotions. Yesterday we found out our home is saturated with mycotoxins which some people refer to as "toxic mold." In fact we have 13 strains of mold in our home. These mold spores are air born and do a lot of damage to neurological systems and respiratory systems. This is the reason Daraby has been sick.
Last night we moved out of our home. I'm in a state of shock. I'm angry. I can't believe I didn't see the writing on the wall. My child is sick because of her environment. Now I'm on the mission to get her detoxified. We've lived in our home for a year and a half. For the first part I was pregnant and then Daraby was born. I can't imagine the scope of her illnesses. I don't know to what degree she is ill nor the lasting effects.
Today I'm trying to decide the next steps. I don't know what things I can move out of the home and save. All of our things have the spores. I need to clean everything and minimize Dara's exposure any further. I don't know if I need to rush to a mold Dr in Denver or get our stuff moved to somewhere new and then deal with the Dr issue. I'll do anything for my child. I can live without my stuff even if I think I can't.

The video is really good and easy to understand so if you have a good connection that might be a good place to start. The mold recovery blogspot is about a family of 11 that is dealing with mold issues. It is their story. The husband in the story has a Christian radio program that I listen to that is why I know about their story. The mold-help.org website is very knowledgeable. I don't post this to make you feel sorry for us but so that you may pray and ask direction for us. We will move to the south end of the ranch and see what to do about our stuff, the house and Daraby's health. I'm overwhelmed and so sad. As a mom I feel so guilty about exposing her to such harmful toxins that have worked against her immune system.
