I received the following heart-felt letter from a new Grandma.

“I hope you can help!   I am worried about my new 3 week old granddaughter.  My daughter moved into a bank refinished home when she was 7 month pregnant.  The house always smelled of new carpet, paint, and many other unknown smells. Well since the baby’s birth whenever I go to this house I can smell things sometimes even cigarette smoke and nobody smokes. I am very sensitive to smells and my head gets foggy and my throat hurts.  Now the baby has cold symptoms and I think it may be the house.  We open the windows as much as possible but it isn’t getting much better. What should we do?

Thank You so much,

Theresa”
