Hi Everyone,
I've posted on here only a few times. My daughter is almost 11 months old and had 2 sweat tests done when she was 4 months old. Her scores were 34 and 30. She also had the mutation screening done (I think 23 mutations) and came back negative. So, her pediatrician, pediatric GI doctor and pediatric allergist all think she does not have CF. While it is quite possible that she doesn't there is a nagging fear in the back of my mind (mainly because of her sweat test scores and what I read on these message boards) that she may have an A-typical form. Did any of you go through this with doctors not thinking your child had it and not wanting to get a full genetic screen done? If so, how did you convince them to test further and which doctor would be the best to get the test ordered from? Should I try to contact a genetic counselor or even our local CF center? Thanks!
