    Justinsmama you have helped me out greatly!! I have a dear friend right now that is in diagnostic limbo. She is unsure of everything and all doctors. Her son is 20 months old (absolutely precious!!) He has had 3 sinus surgeries and his blood levels have been continually low for no reason...

    Intermittent low grade fever

    Abby does that when she is fixing to get sinus issues. Sometimes it goes away on its own and other times we end up on meds for sinus infection. But that's always my indicator that something is fixin to happen.

Your doctors office should be able to get you more information on it. I have this phone number when I am out of the order form 1-855-227-3493 and I believe it...

    6 y/o son and lung surgery?

    This is Abby's mutation and the info that Sandy was sweet enough to explain. Hope it makes since and sheds some light on how it works. It helped me see :) Yes, 2585delT is a frameshift. If it were a stop mutation it would have an x at the end (like W1282X does). It is confusing because the...

    Just keep in mind that every insurance plan is different. For instance we have Humana but I know another that tried to get it off label and they had Humana as well. We (thank you Jesus) were approved and they were declined, so I caution you about doctors not trying because 1 insurance turned...

    3.5 yr old low ferritin, has never had formed stool and being tested for CF PI-Help!

    I don't know if this is true for everyone but when Abby was that age she would eat 2 to 3 times as much food as I would and drink until I'm surprised she didn't grow gills! Her diapers were very loose and very frequent and there's no way to describe the smell of those diapers! But what upset...
