My niece was diagnosed at 2 weeks, for failure to gain weight, shortly there after, like in two days, she was readmitted to the hospital with pneumonia. She has been admitted again for pneumonia in her right lung, she's almost three months old. Now her liver enzymes are elevated, her sinuses are very congested. We are very upset and confused, it seems the doctor tells us something new everytime he comes in, but he is always positive. He sees a number of CF patients in the area. We wonder about a second opinion, does anyone have any advice for us, we live in the Tampa, Florida area and we haven't met anyone with CF yet. The baby is on two kinds of antibiotics IV, Albuterol, and Pulmonzyme(not sure about the spelling) now she's going to be on liver medication, and of course her enzymes and vitamins. I hope this doesn't seem rambling but we're very worried about her and just want to do what's best for her. We were told that she has started symptoms at an early age and she could have a very severe case. If anyone has had similar experiences, I would like to know. Thanks.
