  1. HI,
    Here's a link to a report done by WKRG-CBS in Mobile relating to the quality of water/oil at several locations, including where children are being allowed to play. http://www.wkrg.com/gulf_oil_spill/article/news-5-investigates-testing-the-water/906545/Jul-18-2010_7-40-pm/. It's long and I hope it works. I'm not good at linking.
    Basically it seems to be saying that even if the water looks OK, it may not be.
    Hope your Mom is doing OK.
    Take care,
    Surfpnsbch-Sara
