These are too funny! My son also gets the questions. He is 6' tall and he works out, so has some muscle tone. I love Mel's idea and if I run into the same doc at the ER again I just may use it.
I took Jordan in late one night because he was having a lot of trouble breathing. They were busy because it was the weekend and told us they would get to us when they could. I said "well he has CF, so if you could just listen to him before you send me to the waiting room for 3 hours, I'd appreciate it." I swear he rolled his eyes at me!! He did listen and he did put us ahead of a few people, but I later heard him talking to another person and saying that he thought maybe "mom" was exagerating the illness to be seen more quickly! What an idiot.
