I just heard about 2 months ago the Kentucky is doing it also. Which I am soooo for since they had no idea what was wrong with me for 2 months and untill one day they just did the sweat test b/c it was one of the test to do, and the doc even told my mom not to worry about it, it was just a test that she wont have. Hahaha he came back and appoligized so much!! It wasnt his fault but I am glad that they have this!!!!

I am so very supportive of the newborn screening as well!! I cannot imagine how much pain it would have saved me, if I had been screened at birth. I had to wait five years to find out!! I will be so glad when all the states have this as a standard test!! Cf is the second most common deadly genetic disorder, second only to Sickle Cell.
