Hello Again ... and Thank You All

[Guest guest]

Hello,

It's Laurie (MicahAndsMom) ... I haven't written for quite some time, nor

have I read any of the group's messages due to illness. I've just checked my

inbox and I have 11,000 unread messages from SickBuildings. Woah. That's going

to take some time. : )

I wanted to write to you all and tell you all " thank you " - when I first joined

SickBuildings it was June or July of last year. I was looking for information

on mold and found you all right away. Each and every one of you told me to " Get

Out Now! " and I had the nerve to complain at that response. My deepest

apologies ... I thought to myself " Now how am I supposed to just pack my family

up and go just like that with no place to go? " But you all were right - and I

should not have complained AT ALL because you knew what you were talking about.

We did leave, in August of last year ... our illnesses, although, have become

much worse. My husband, thank God, did not get sick. My daughters and I were

not so lucky. We've been diagnosed with severe mycotoxicosis, asthma and

hypersensitivity to alternaria and aspergillus. We're now going in for cancer

screenings and are waiting for an appointment with a Neurologist due to swelling

of the brain (our skull felt too small for some reason ... lots of pressure).

That brings me to my next thing I want to say to KC and Sharon ... First, you

all are the best. Second - since my husband did not get sick, he doesn't

understand what we're going through. Neither do my parents, whom we are

currently living with. Somehow it seems as though they've all " ganged up " on us

and are just " so sure " we're " faking " these symptoms. Though they've seen all

of the doctor's reports, medications, etc. My husband now wants a divorce. I

remember reading many people's stories where after mold exposure / illness,

marriages seem to fall apart. It's a shame.

KC ... you are so wonderful for what you're doing and have done for Sharon.

Your wife became ill from toxic molds and you've made it your life to learn all

you can and help your wife through all of this - and (both of you) your mission

to spread the word to the world ... I cannot thank you enough.

I think of you two alot and know you've been blessed by God to have one another

.... and we are all also blessed to have the two of you (and others ... Sharon K.

especially) helping us through this nightmare and all of your work to spread the

word - get laws changed - and by all that you all do.

(forgive the slightly confusing lingo ... like I said ... we're not doing all

that well)

Again, thank you so very much to all of you. I hope and pray you are all doing

well or on your way to doing well.

~ Laurie
