My oldest who is also has CF was a carrier every time my middle child who does not have CF would get strep we would have our oldest tested too because that is usually where our middle child would get it. Our oldest would never have symptoms of strep either. Its the weirdest thing. Hope this helps. Deb A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
