Guest guest Posted June 4, 2000 Report Share Posted June 4, 2000 Hi le: I came to visit you on the day of your surgery but you weren't in your room yet from recovery. So as I was leaving, I saw you on a gurney being wheeled to your room. I asked the nurses if you were le and you answered and said, " who is it? " and I said Flo from the internet, you go rest. And you nodded and off you went! LOL...you were definately in la la land. I'm glad you did so well!

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2000 Report Share Posted June 23, 2000 , I vaguely remember her. At that age, I was arm wrestling boys and climbing trees. A barbie as a gift would have severely hurt my feelings. They were just a little too fragile for me. LOL I think there a few other black barbies too, but I don't remember their names. But Dr R can kill that 114 number...it aint happening. LOL le Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2002 Report Share Posted December 8, 2002 The genetic test should tell you much, much more--1005+ mutations in all, but you are right that deltaf508 does tend to be more common. Likely, the testing, if they test for many mutations, will be definitive-- Best of luck with this, Love to you and to yours, n Rojas, wcf, 65, mom of 3 older adults: two cf carriers and one with cf as well; one of our carriers does have some symtoms, but no cf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
