I don't want to get into any legal mess or involve Friend of teh Court, etc. I should add that there are problems between their mom (my ex-wife) and I, so I can’t discuss with her, but need to find another way to get testing done or involve some other party in assisting us???

They live most of the time at their mom's house which has had flooding in the basementseveral times over several years. I am starting to believe the mold and other growths there may be the cause of the kids frequent health issues. What do I do?

For a list of more common symptoms read both of the following posts : <a href="http://moldblogger.com/impact-of-mold-on-thoughts-emotion-personality/">Impact of Mold on Thoughts, Emotion, and Personality</a> <a href="http://moldblogger.com/symptoms-of-mold-exposure-who-is-most-at-risk/">Symptoms of Mold Exposure and Who is at Risk</a> Seven weeks is most certainly a long period of time for children to be sick just with something "going around." If their being sick IS related (as it appears to be), removing ALL of the mold (visible and non), and being sure to prevent regrowth, should clear up their symptoms and illnesses fairly quickly. Something else to note, do they feel better being outside in fresh air, or worse if kept inside near the mold site? In any case, remove all visible mold, make sure their is no mold growth in the mattress, or behind the wall where visible mold can be seen. Also, note how the mold originally began growing. Removing the symptoms (visible mold growth) and not the actual problem (perhaps an overabundance of moisture and warmth) will not solve anything as the mold will grow back.

All three of the children spent the last seven weeks sick with many different cold, flus and ear, throat and respiratory infections. Is there a chance that their illnesses were affected by the mold problem? Will our cleanup of the mold, as you described, help our children become healthy again?
