Welcome! What you'll find on this site, that despite having the same genetic mutations, there are other factors to consider. CF is a progressive diesease and symptoms vary, the progression of the disease varies. Some people aren't diagnosed until later on, so at least you know right away and you can hit the ground running as far as treatments, making sure your child gets adequate nutrition... Your child will most likely have to be on digestive enzymes due to pancreatic insufficiency. For the most part cfers are born with normal lungs, but with the thick sticky mucus, increased infections over time, the lungs will become effective. Sometimes there are sinus issues... Best bet is to focus on being proactive -- keeping your child happy and healthy.
DS was born with a bowel obstruction due to meconium illeus. He needed surgery to repair the damage, clear the blockage... Spent several weeks in the NICU recovering from his surgery, and then from a couple infections he picked up while being hospitalized. We've been doing CPT with nebs 3-4 times a day since he was a few days old. He got a vest about a year ago.
