If you don't want to bring one of the big pressure cookers- how about one of those electric hot plates that is the size of a single stove burner? (You can even buy it once you get there at a local dept. store for about $25.) Then you can boil nebs in bottled water that you buy once you get...

How did they explain the results of the test? Was the cftr function completely normal the 2nd time? I'm so sorry you are still stuck wondering, wondering, wondering- I hope you get the answers you need.

It would definitely be worth finding out if both mutations were on the same chromosome, since people can carry more than one and pass that single mutated gene on to their child (that is how the occasional baby with cf has 3 mutations.) That would not mean that one is benign but rather that you...

Positive NPD results are used as acceptable criteria for CF diagnosis for acceptance into many clinical trials, so I would think that this would validate a dx, esp when combined with Owen being SO symptomatic. When Shawn had his test, the results were accompanied by a letter to the dr who sent...
