I was diagnosed at 3 months after losing 25% of my birth weight, pneumonia, pneumothorax, etc. They thought they had done a sweat test and it came back negative. My parents argued for ages trying to convince the hospital that they hadnt done it. Finally, they "repeated" it. I was off the charts.
THe hospital and docs sent me home with no enzymes, no suggestion of chest PT, no nebulizers, NOTHING.
They literally told my parents to take me home and let me die.
Nice.
Well, the docs that said that all predeceased me, so......*grin*
Oh, and my parents never went back to Children's even though we lived in Boston.....
Instead, they always drove me 5 hours to NYC every month to a fabulous doc who actually cared.
She saved my life.
We named our eldest daughter after her.
