Questions questions and update.

November 5, 2002

Hey got a couple questions. I've been talking to a lady who is preg and due

around the same time I am. She had a lvl 2 U/S done and they found a cyst

on the babies brain. The doc said that can be a marker for CF. I have

never heard of this and was wondering if anyone had any info on it that I

could share with her. They also saw that the baby's bowels were shadded.

PJ had the same thing at this stage also.

Genetics question. I racking my brain trying to figure out how we got so

" lucky " with three cfer's. If my husband or I had cf(neither one of us

shows any signs) it would be a 50/50 chance as long as the other was a

carrier, correct? So would that mean that there are 2 different gene

sequences(don't know if I'm wording this correct) that could happen? Or

would it be the same two each time? I've been debating on us getting tested

just to try and figure out what is going on, but if he was tested and it was

positive we'd be out of insurance and he'd have no job. Gotta love the

military.

So far we are all doing good. PJ seems to be coughing a bit more but

doesn't seem to be getting sick. HOPEFULLY we'll have kicked this stupid PA

the first time around. Yolo is getting ready for her 3rd birthday on the

16th. We're still having some behavior problems with her, so hopefully I

can get her evaled. is ding great. She's LOVES preschool and is

talking up a storm now. It is so weird having a 4 year old that talks to

you and carrys on some type of conversation. So far this preg is going.

Everything looks right on track and I go in for one of many lvl 2 u/s's

soon. TJ is going to school now for the Air Force for another stripe. SO

his grandmother is comming down, she's an awsome lady. Kinda how I picture

Grandma Bev to be. Other than that we're doing great.

Jen A. mom to 4, Yolo 2 1/2 and Phynix 6 months all w/cf.
