    looking for help with questions to ask, and names for second opinion

    I did get a name of a doctor at another clinic close by, so I am going to make an appointment there and see what they say. According to our current doc, they don't want to dx them with cf because of insurance, b/c of everything it would entail, and because he feels that with the negative sweat...

    looking for help with questions to ask, and names for second opinion

    I know that I have posted about this many times before, but we are seeing a new doctor in August, and I am trying to get my thoughts together. It is a doctor at the same clinic that we currently go to, so if anyone has any other suggestions near the Boston area, I would love those names as well...

    ER Waiting Rooms

    Our ER brings us to a room right away. We may have to wait for a while in a room, but we never stay in the waiting room. Even when DD broke her arm, we were moved back right away. Our hospital gave us a blue card for each child, and if we hand them the blue card anywhere - ER, blood, x-ray, we...

    Lauren - One of them had sweat tests of 59, 56, and 39. The other one was 36 and 59. They are both repeating the sweat test in November. I think I am going to call and get them to give DD2 a sweat test that day as well, and have them draw labs for her when we are in clinic.

    <P>Ok, so one more question.</P> <P> </P> <P>If she comes back showing the S1235R mutation, then what? Do we treat her when she may not have cf? Do we assume that she is just a carrier?</P>
