this is a whirlwind for us and our family.I am guessing by what i have read thus far from other posts that we are very lucky that my son has yet to be sick at all.He was sent to a growth expert because he was not growing very fast at all.He is 39 lbs and just under 3 feet tall.they diagnosed hhim less than 1 week ago with the sweat test and he was hospitalized for 1 week for further testing and treatment regiments.Our son does have symptoms now that we look further into cf as his digestive tract was not working properly. His lungs at this general time are at 100% capacity and strong at this time. this is awesome news for us for such a disabling and debillitating disease.we have 3 other children to yet test and 1 of real concern as i am the father to only my son and 1 daughter and stepfather to the 2 oldest. Is this normal to see my son in such great health for this disease? they onlly found it because he was so short and the pediatrician was oncerned over his height problem. My son has never even been hospitralized because of sickness as of yet in his short and glorious life.Please respond and let me know if this is common for cf.
