Guest guest Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 I kind of feel like I'm intruding in this group, but I have a question. My daughter has not been diagnosed with CF, but my husband and I suspect that she might have it. She was put in the hospital at 4 months old with RSV and then again 2 weeks later with viral pnuemonia. Her doctor actually said she had RSV 2 months before she was put in the hospital.She has had pretty constant respiratory problems since then. Her doctor diagnosed her with asthma. She has been on breathing treatments, but they don't seem to do much good. I was doing research on CF on the internet and I noticed that she has several of the symptoms. She is not excessivly small for her age, but she is in the 25th percentile in height and 10th in weight. She has a lot of loose stools that I have always chalked up to teething. She is now 20 months old and we have a new family doctor. I am afraid that everyone may be overlooking the big picture and diagnosing her with asthma when she has several symptoms of CF. I was really wondering when and how your children were diagnosed with CF and how you knew they had it. Sorry this was so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
