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? -------------------- Cary

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?

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...

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 Mason has been poorly ever since being born its cold after colds and he is also Lactos Intolerant will let you know how it goes xx --------------------
