WOW! I am so glad that I found this site, everyone seems so nice and helpful. The blog that I read about the tow teenagers really moved me. I have been kin of living day to day thinking well he can't really have CF cause he is 13 not a baby. Boy, I guess that is the wrong way to think. Trevor has always had sinus problems since bith, he is always on an antibotic of somewort and the usual doses never seem to work for him. He was diagnosed with RAD when he was 4 and has been treated for with Albuterol and Singulair everyday since. He was hospitalized for a week when he was 10 for a gastrointestinal disease that they never could figure out and then a year later they did a colonoscopy and saw what they saw was the beginnings of chrons so they treated him with a strong steroid that gave him a host of other symtoms. HE really is generally healthy except for trouble breathing and all these sinus infections. So the Doc last week said "lets just do a sweat test" I said what could it hurt. He got a 47 which is borderline, I thought that has to be wrong but they immediately ordered the genetics testing and another sweat test which he scored a 39. We are still awaiting the genetic testing to come back. I finally broke down and told immediate family about it, but they are all very skeptical about it. What is your advice? Thanks for any reqponses.
