I hoping to get some answers here that I have been unable to get elsewhere. My two yo son who has been extremely healthy since birth came down with broncitis last summer in August, since that time he has had 2 bouts with pnumonia and 3 bouts with broncitis. He had immune system testing done which was normal, allergy testing which showed only a mild milk allergy. He coughs a lot when sick, but in between is fine. The problem is he doesn't stay health for more than a couple of weeks. He does go to daycare and the other kids are also getting the colds, but just don't cough with them. Our pulmonary doctor said if we can't get an asthma diagnoses and get under control they will test for CF. Now I am very scared, and am wondering if this is a normal progression for CF. We have no digestive issues, and again not even a single cold for the first 18 months.
I have an 8 year old son that was diagnosed with Becker Muscular Dystrophy last year, and my heart is just breaking at the idea of going through this again. I need some help and guidance.
Thank you.

I should also note that we have never had any problems with sinus or phlem, he has never had a runny nose, except some clear stuff when ears are infected- he has had 3-4 ear infections in the last 6 months as well. He doesn't seem to have salty sweat, he is in the 100th percentile for weight, little bit less for height. He is a great sleeper and seems to breath easier when asleep, some nighttime coughing when sick. Our family has also been sick with many of the same viruses that he has had. I have had a cough for 6 weeks this last time. I am sorry to sound like I am pleading his case, like I said we just got through a 9 month mystery MD diagnoses and life is just starting to get back to normal.
