    Understanding the Genetics

    I was told 39 is the high end of normal. If you go to cuff.org I think it lists normal, borderline and positive results. My dd was 50 and we were told she is borderline or in the "grey".

    Nurse Case Manager through the ins.company

    We did with Jasey and loved her. She was very compassionate and helpful. If you do it hopefully you will have the same experience. Our nurse use to work at Cincinnati children's so she was familiar with some of Jasey's med problems.

    Newly diagnosed 20 yr old

    Why are they doing treatments if he is 20 and has no respiratory symptoms? My daughter doesn't get treated for respiratory at all. She does PFTs and throat swabs every 3 months but no chest pt or antibiotics.

    Blood in stools?

    Thanks for your help. Both her surgeon and cf doctor know about the blood. For the past few days her stool hasn't had any signs of blood so I'm hoping it was just viral or hemrhoid.

    Blood in stools?

    Her stools are soft and at times loose. She's on exlax daily but the enzymes have made the biggest difference for her for the better. It just concerns me because she just had c diff colitis. She tested negative for it this time. Now I'll be paranoid over her getting that again!
