This is from the CFF website:
In general, sweat chloride concentrations less than 40 mmol/L are normal (does not have CF); values between 40 to 60 mmol/L are borderline, and sweat chloride concentrations greater than 60 mmol/L are consistent with the diagnosis of CF.
For individuals who have CF, the sweat chloride test will be positive from birth. Once a test result is positive, it is always positive. Sweat test values do not change from positive to negative or negative to positive, as a person grows older. Sweat test values also do not vary when individuals have colds or other temporary illnesses.

If she has two CF genes, she has CF regardless of what sweat tests or other results say.
Many CFer's have low sweat test #s, but still have CF as confirmed by two genes.
Is Evelyn telling you she doesn't have CF?
