Hello, I am so grateful to have access to these boards to learn about CF as it seems like all the descriptions on various websites seems to be carbon copies of each other. My son is 13 months and has been hospitalized 2 times in the past month. First for RSV, then for an asthma like attack 3 weeks later. During his second visit (at non-cf center hosp) he tested a 56 borderline sweat test. He is a big boy, always in the 90+percentile for his age. We have sent his blood off for genetic testing and have to wait another few days for a second sweat test (at a cf center hospital). Obviously I am terrified and worried. I am wondering if sweat tests can be wrong. Once a sweat test is borderline, could it ever go down? It doesn't seem possible. The wait is hard. I am using this time to learn more and more about this disease so I can learn what questions to ask. Do CFers always taste salty?
I don't even know what I'm asking but if anyone has any feedback for me I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
