Lungs and dirt!


Well this afternoon I followed up with Jaiden's Pediatrician, who provided a slip for Venous Blood gas test for Jaiden. He also wrote a letter advising,

"(Jaiden)He has severe lung disease. He was an ex 25 week premature and had oxygen for months. He is a very high risk for respiratory disorders and needs to be treated very careful - especially in his environment"

Makes me feel fantastic knowing I have had no choice but to return him to the house.
I also spoke the Jaiden's respiratory specialists rooms who didn't really know what the impact may be. I caught them on the hop a bit as they had never had to look up methane exposure before!

They are now drilling a hole for a monitor in the nature strip next door. There is also another one (they are slightly different) that was drilled a few days ago 4 doors up. The drillers advised this was a part of stage 1. I'll be damned if the residents have ever been informed of any stages, other than the "If you want to be 100% safe then you should relocate!". I also hope they are monitoring the air quality as every time I open the door I have to sweep the floor from all the dirt and dust that is flying around from the drilling everywhere.


Other than that, I also contacted Councillor Kevin Bradford and expressed concerns regarding the $8000 grant application that we don't know about. It's 3.17pm and no call back from DHS about an appointment tomorrow. I wonder if I will get one...................................
