I can never believe that doctors say things

[Guest guest]

like that the 7th child can't have cf: it is a Mendelian hereditary pattern;

therefore, the odds are one in FOUR with EACH pregnancy, not one in

four with each family---good grief! Friends of ours in Oregon had nine

kids with cf! My husband (a professor, not a doctor, although with Ph.D.,

always maintained that M.D. stood for " Mentally Defective! "

He did not really mean it; he loved his doctors; he just had fits at some

of mine and of one of the kids.

Cheers, all at cfparents,
