Guest guest Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 Welcome! My daughter, who is now 8, had merconium illius and had surgery when she was 12 hours old. She had genetic testing done in Tampa, Florida. We too had never heard of CF. We live in Ft. Myers,and had to go to Tampa because there was not a pediatric surgeon. We were in Tampa for 30 days. Traci never was a good eater and had a button put in at 9 months to help with weigh gain. Traci is a wonderful 8 year old. She is doing well in school. We are in the hospital now because she got microplasma pnuemonia(not CF caused, but the comman kind that anyone gets).We are doing much better and should be home on IVs soon.
