I was still beside myself as I was awoken by the sound of intense wheezing at around 3 AM. My initial reaction was to nudge my husband – the accused – for being such a noisy nuisance at such ungodly hour. Neither of us were snorers, as observed in the last five years of spending our sleeping and waking hours together, that I was bothered by the sound that could be easily associated with an animal in struggle. I listened closely and realized the noise was coming from the corner of the room where my son’s crib was.
My eight month old developed mild persistent asthma as stated in the pediatrician’s findings. The doctor said it was more or less caused by sudden change in climate. You see, we moved from Dallas just a month ago and the temperature here and back in Texas at this time of year were practically poles apart. The air quality in Minnesota was entirely different from where we came from and children are generally more sensitive that even the slightest change in atmosphere can cause them to fall ill.
The doctor assured us that my child’s condition would improve given more (adjustment) time. For the moment, she prescribed low-dose inhaled corticosteroids and recommended to have an expert in Minnesota do an indoor air quality check in our house. The doctor thought it best to know whether the said factor was the major cause of the deterioration of my son’s health.
My husband immediately contacted a company that offers Minnesota air quality inspection in homes, schools and offices. The inside of our house was too humid as our heater was set to the highest possible temperature as none of us were used to frigid winter conditions. The expert recommended having more ventilation to maintain the 30-60% humidity level inside the house. Our heating system had visible mold growth and we were advised to consult a Minnesota mold inspection service provider for the said matter.
And so we sought for a mold removal service in Minnesota and got the problem fixed in no time. My son still hasn’t outgrown asthma and still needed his daily dose of inhaled corte – what-have-you. But at least we got rid of the disgusting mold that was growing inside our heater and improved the quality of air inside our home.
