| CR so far |
[Oct. 30th, 2007|10:13 pm] |
CR is doing worse slightly, so they have upped the steroids and the doctor approved him for 6 months homebound schooling. They have some theories as to what it is, and think it might be a medicine they need to put him on (and forgot), or it might be a severe mold issue. They took a lot of blood out of him for testing allergen counts as well as deep allergy testing purposes (they can't do a skin reaction on him because of the steroids). He is going to have a CT scan for his lungs instead of just his head. Now we just have to convince the school to agree to home schooling, and we're set as far as that goes. I suspect CR will lose his job which he only had for a few weeks, but oh well. :(
He is going to move into my den. The cleaning of my den is going very badly. I had so much packed in here, that it's unfolding in mess like unwadding a tight ball of paper in the fact it covers more space with the same amount of stuff. I have generated 5 bags of trash, packed several storage bins, and it still looks like I have done very little. It's really depressing.
Lastly, an apology might be in order. Sorry, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) patches023, but I was late getting home and I abruptly left you while rushing for the train. It sounded like you ran into someone saying goodbye to me, and a nasty exchange ensued between him and you. I hope that wasn't your voice, and it was some other woman's, but if I caused you to run into that guy, I deeply apologize. I also apologize for sort of ending our conversation in mid sentence when I realized that I needed to be on that train. I am scatterbrained on the Metro, ask mysticpaws. It was nice seeing you, though! |

Mold is evey place.
I have a bad mold issues, with weird reactions.
Might I make a sugestions about getting a hepa felter if you do not have one now?
I have pne in ever room of the house, it has helped a lot.
Also cleaning the duck work.
have you tested for mold?
Dust and Mold is nasty to asma.
Food alergies make it worst.
Since I have been seeing a uper cervical Chiropractor, I have been doing a LOT better alergies and health wise, a side efect to the treatment to the trigeminal nerve/neck face pain.
A) I know that everyone is rushing in the metro and that you can't chit-chat like you can at a con.
B) That wasn't me having a nasty exchange. I didn't run into anyone. I got on my train with no incident. I didn't even notice an incident happening. That is how out of it I can be.
C) It was very nice running into you.
Hugs. It sounds like you are on your way to having a handle on CR's health problems. I wish him speedy recovery and good luck with school.
About the cleaning, don't beat yourself up about it. It didn't get dirty/messy in one day and it won't get cleaned in one either. Try breaking it into short, timed tasks. Spend 15 minutes (set a timer) on one section, like the corner where his bed will be and work just on that. Work as fast as you can. Get four boxes (or bags): a trash box (lined with a trash bag), a recycling box, a give away box, and a put away box. Maybe add a shredding box. When the timer goes off, take the put away box and distribute the items to their appropriate places. Don't get distracted by cleaning another room. That is not your mission. Either take a short break or come back and work on another section.
You can do this. Hugs.

I meant to send this to you before: | (Link)

I meant to send this to you before. If you're looking for an asthma/allergy specialist who's willing to work with you, who doesn't talk down to you, and really knows her stuff. She is my and Patches' doctor of choice for anything related to breathing functions (even if it's a cold), see if your insurance will cover sending you to:
doctor Nirupma Rohatgi
2308 L Street, N.W.
Washington, DC 20037
(202) 333-0655
This lady is SMART, kind, thorough, and has a fanatical coterie of patients, with offices in Gaithersburg and Downtown DC (short walk from Foggy Bottom).
I cannot recommend her enough. If you want anecdotes of her miraculous work, how many will do? | |
