Hi All,
very new to this cf world. my 8yr old son has d508f and h199q. Does anyone out there have any info on this combo of genes? he presents no signs of cf at this point or prior, only discovered when aggressive (read:thorough) GI ordered sweat test to rule out cf due to longterm recurring constipation. needless to say, ruled it IN. now starting neb and vest 2x daily. concerned w/using meds when no physical signs of necessity. Hi res CT w/sedation sched for next week. nervous about sedation, anxious to learn results of CT. will base decision to continue meds/vest on CT results. Any thoughts from experienced parents/practitioners are welcome.
