Given the stats, there's a 25% chance that your other child has CF. It's very possible, and she should be tested ASAP so that if she does, she can start getting proper medical care immediately.
Congratulations on your new baby! It sounds like your daughter needs to be tested for cf. As you probably know she, like her brothers, has a 25% chance of having both cf genes passed on and therefore has a 25% chance of having cf. Has your child's pediatrician or your son's cf doctor mentioned genetic testing for your newborn? Genetic testing just takes a few weeks to get back with the results. A sweat test isn't always accurate for newborns, but both of my newborns tested positive with cf by a sweat test in their first month of life, so it is possible to get a good reading.
