Our son was diagnosed last year because of the Iowa Newborn screen at 3 weeks but he was having diarrhea at the time also and having a hard time gaining weight.

Our daughter was diagnosed also a month after him. THey had us get our other 2 children sweat tested. She is 8 now and she is very skinny but does not have to take enzymes because she is pancreatic sufficient. She had some changes in her lungs when they took her chest x-ray also after her diagnosis.

THey are both doing well.

Take care,


Christy

Hi Sue,
I am sorry to hear of your dx. My daughter was born at 6lbs and dropped to 51/2lbs after she was born. She was dx at 3wks old by a sweat test. Once she started taking her enzymes she gained her birth weight back and has been growing on her own little curve since.
It was very scary having my older daughter tested. She didn't have any symptoms but it was still scary. At least you will know for sure.
Try to enjoy that little one. He needs you!
Keep us posted,
Kelly
