Hi SJCmoon, thanks for responding. Right now they are putting my reassignment on hold and making us go to walter reed for more testing - thinking we will probably be sent over to the clinic at Bethesda. At least they are finally doing something, I can't believe it has taken them so long. Keep your fingers crossed for us <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

we fly out on monday to Walter Reed for his evaluation - I think they will refer us straight to CF clinic at Bethesda. Also found out that my older son is a carrier, the worst thing is that nobody let me know!!!!
I work in the hospital and decided to look up his results last week. These people drive me crazy.

Armymom74,
Sorry but that is bull that there are no specialists in Europe to see your son! I see that you are in Heidelberg, can't recall exactly where that is in relation to where we were. We were stationed NATO at Geilenkirchen NAB in northwest Germany along the German/Dutch border. My girls were seen at the CF clinic in Maastricht, NL. We had a choice of going to Aachen,GE or Maastricht, NL. We choose NL simply because they speak alot more english in NL than they do in GE.
We had a different circumstance, as we were doing our research before applying to go to Germany to see where they could get care. When my husband put in for GE we were set with where they could go. When he was selected for the assignment, then we proceeded with the medical needs and where they could get care along with the letter from their CF doc that she approved of the move. We spent a wonderful 3.5 yrs stationed in GE while our girls were in elementary to middle school.
We had no problems with the CF clinic there and it was an accredited clinic by the european version of CFF. They do things a bit different but if you've never been to clinic, you'd never know. We loved the CF clinic there.
They are giving you the run around. Go on-line and look for a clinic that would be convenient to you, call them and see if anyone speaks english well enough for your comfort. TriCare pays 100% overseas, no out of pocket what so ever, even hospitalizations. If you find what you are looking for, then the battle may be to get the referral.
Good luck and keep on them. Go up the chain until you get answers.
