Jenica- I'll definately post after my u/s and let ya know how it went. What mutations do you and your husband have? I have G551D and my husband is DF508, from what I've read and been told these are the most common mutations and we should expect a classic case of CF. I wish we had the rare ones...

WOW! How did I miss all of this? Julie- I'm sorry you got attacked, that was not called for, your very helpful. As for the anony. poster that thinks I don't care about my step-son, you could not be more wrong. I don't need to justify myself either and I know that, but I'd still like to say this...

Congratulations! I've been thinking about you guys! Way to go Erin!

Jenica- How is your pregnancy going? Have you had a recent u/s? Are they noticing any dilation of the bowel or is the baby looking good in that area? I have come to terms with this but there is still the moment, maybe when I'm sitting in my tub relaxing when suddenly complete terror will come...
