| they are running so many tests on the poor little guy. They don't think that it is cf because his lungs are perfect. Oh I forgot to mention that he has this rash all over his back. My sister thought that it was a milk allergy but she was wrong. It's her third son so she is beating herself up that she didn't take him to the doctors earlier. |

| i am by far no expert in cf but I have read that a child may not have signs in the lungs at first but in the digestive tract or other areas. The lungs are primarily affected but it may not show up. A common symptom is thick, heavy, sticky mucus, salty sweat, and there stool is different. The first sign is lack of weight gain in
infants. Here is an article I found. Perhaps you have seen it. Http://www.Babycenter.Com/refcap/baby/baby ills/babyconditions/10869.Html did the baby a specialist or was it just a general pediatrician??? It sound like they are trying to get to the bottom of what is happening. I am so sorry. I can't imagine how hard it would be seeing a 16 week old still be only 8 pounds. |
