Extra excitement

After arriving back from Philly we found out that our contractor had unleashed a storm of dust from cutting drywall into our house. Of course with Sofia's trach this would've been disastrous for her to breathe in for any length of time. We evacuated the kids to the sun room and we spent the next few hours cleaning every surface and washing anything soft, while some guys dropped off "the beast", an industrial strength HEPA filter.

After running things for a few hours we got things clean enough for the kids to move around. We still have the filter going now just in case and the guys are going to come back and clean a high bit of landing that we couldn't get to ourselves.

Here is Sofia in "prison" ie the hospital.

No school today in honor of Columbus but that means serious capping trials instead for Sofia!

Both Daniel and Sofia are OK?
Nobody was at home when this event happened?
There are some reports about drywall
which is technically a artificial men-made kind of wood,it contains a lot of chemicals,dyes and stable agents,definitely not friendly to human being to breath and contact,especially if drywall was imported from oversea and made after 2000. I hope that HEPA filter can purify both dust and drywall as well, so it is safe for everybody.
