I could not begin to tell you how my family has been fighting allergies! Grrr!! We have all been sick. Let me say this...with the swine flu and the regular flu going around I am sooo thankful that we haven't gotten it yet.
After Paige's baptism I chose to get her and Landri into a pediatric allergist. So we went to the big city and were able to see Paige's ENT who is also a pediatric allergist! Yeah! We love him! Great kid doctor! He put the girls on a nasal sinus rinse, nasal spray, strong allergy medicine and told us to kick the dogs outside and get the carpet out of our house ASAP. Yes, rip the carpet out! Actually, we've know that we needed to do this because Coley's allergist also highly recommended it. With the humidity being so high where we live and the allergies being bad it just compounds the problem when you have carpet in the house. So rip it out we did...well actually Coley and our good friend Tommy did.
So we have been on concrete for over a week now. We still have allergies...the amount of dust in the house was incredible which made it worse...but the girls are better...me not so much...but hopefully we are on our way to a better and cleaner household. I am looking into cleaners, air filters, etc. that could help us out as well.
Did I mention the rain? It has rained and rained and rained...we have gotten 8 inches or so in the last week. Yeah God! We are thankful especially since it hasn't rained all year even if it has made the allergies worse.
Coley has been working a ton of hours this week...which is interesting because most of the construction sites are shut down because of the rain. God is providing! He is so good. We have discussed it and prayed about it and really want to pay cash for our new flooring and then the work just starting piling up! Praise God!

Our allergies have been bad too and poor Lily seems to have inherited that family gene. We put in laminate when we moved in and it has helped with allergies though it is hard to keep looking clean. Just remember all that dust on your floor that you can't keep clean (boy does it get frustrating)...would just be hiding in your carpet ;)
