Hello , My name is Kimberly. My son just turned 2 years old and Since September he has had pneumonia 3 times and has been admitted to the hospital 2 times for 4 days each. He coughs and wheezes alot and he is on two different nebulizer medicines to use daily. We found out he has asthma and this past monday at his doctor appointment, his doctor said she wants him seen at Childrens Hospital to see a Pulmologist to get checked out. Plus she said she wants them to do a Sweat test to check for CF.
I admit I was dumbfounded , I didn't even know what CF was until she mentioned it. I tried looking around on the net for good refrences and have to admit I am a little afraid now. I read that CF can cause you to be skinnier then normal, does that go for everyone? My son just turned 2 and he weighs 31 lbs, not sure on his height. He is not really skinny at all . I just would like to know all I can before the test. His doctor is supposed to call and set the appointment up and then call and let us know when.
He has a really hard time at night time sleeping, he coughs really bad and wheezes in his sleep.
I can take any info you might have on this .
Thank You so much.
