Do any of your kids do this?

I was just wondering if any of your CF kids "spit up" during the night and whether or not this could be a symptom of CF. My daughter is 5 years old and has just recovered from pneumonia. Prior to her being sick, she woke up and spit up in the middle of the night, not all out vomit, but spit up-about a mouthful. Then she was sick, finished her antibiotic and nebulizer treatments and the other night she woke up to spit up again. She has no other symtoms, no fever or anything, just the small spit up. Her older brother will go the the CF clinic on Tuesday because of a high borderline sweat test. He is failure to thrive, almost 10 and 49 lbs and has a lot of GI problems. He has also has had a wet cought for a while now. I have 4 kids and my fear is that if my son has it, my other kids could be affected too. So I am really paranoid about every cough, sneeze, etc. Also, my second born son is sick with a fever and a cough now too. It just seems like since we started this whole diagnosis stuff with my oldest that all of my kids health has gone downhill. My oldest started an upper respiratory cold, then it went to my daughter who has a history of siezures and it caused a seizure in her, then her twin got pneumonia, then my other son got sick with this fever and cough(will take him to the doc on mon. if still fevered), and now it seems to be back in my oldest son with a wet cough again-this has been going on for over a month now. It is crazy and I can't take anymore sick days-I just have enough left to go to these upcoming CF appt.'s for my oldest son! Anyway, calgon take me away already! I am sure that many of you have been through a lot worse than this, but the "not knowing" yet whether or not it is CF is driving me crazy. I just really want to know if these other symptoms I am seeing in my other children could be CF symptoms too. Thanks so much for your support and thanks for taking the time to read!

My daughter does spit up a lot at night, but its from reflux -- not necessarily a CF thing, though it tends to go along with CF. Good luck with the testing, I know how stressful it is.
