Gosh, that's no fun. What kind of tests are they thinking of doing?
Katherine was really small according to the growth charts and we saw hormone people, heart specailists and I'm pretty sure we had her tested for CF. After all of that, they came up with nothing, she's just a small kid.

Refresh my memory, what kind of tests are they thinking of doing?

I have never had the tests done on my children. However, I used to work for a pediatrician who specialized in working with children with CF. Are they doing a sweat test? Usually that is the first test they do for CF. Then maybe genotyping. There are many, many advances in CF in recent years. Please let us know how he is doing.

When are the tests to be done?

Know about the sweat test, girlfriend's daughter had it done, had alot of breathing problems, turned out she had bad refulx and was aspirating into her lungs.....all turned out well. I guess the sweat test tests for the amount of salt in their sweat....high salt is a sign of CF?? Something like that.....in the end, she is three now and perfectly fine......she was always sick for the first year and a half....hang in there...

Sending prayers your way.

Yes its the sweat test which they are doing had to wait 7 weeks for the appointment though its the 3rd May, they said that it will take a few hours to collect the sweat from him as babies dont tend to produce it is the same way we do...... sleep.gif

To top it off Craig now wants to come with us which means me having to spend time with the man who has been the worse thing ever to happen to me bawling.gif

Mason has been poorly ever since being born its cold after colds and he is also Lactos Intolerant wacko.gif

will let you know how it goes xx
