May 8, 2015 - Le-Naya Churchman, 2, wears a mask as she has medicine administered to her through a breathing machine inside her Cypress Gardens apartment in North Memphis. Churchman suffers from asthma, and undergoes the breathing treatment every other day. Her mother, Ariel Churchman, says that when her baby was turning a year old, they had to spend the night at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital because of Churchman's breathing problems. "She was wheezing real bad, she was short of breath, " Churchman recalls. "They had to give her oxygen for 12 hours. Now, she's on breathing machines." An air test was conducted in June of the Churchman apartment by a licensed professional and paid by The Commercial Appeal. Test results show there are higher levels of mold spores inside their residence in comparison to the sample taken outside. According to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), it found there was "sufficient evidence to link mold and other factors related to damp indoor environments with some upper respiratory tract symptoms, coughing, wheezing, and asthma in sensitized persons or people who already have respiratory problems, the elderly, or the very young."
