4 yr. and was 7 months pregnant. All the DRs. were like " Oh, that

Hi Debbie

Welcome!

My daughter was diagnosed last year at age 12, it was a long journey

to get there too. They also called her cf - " mild " or " low grade "

She has no digestive problems and has experienced lung infections

which required hospitalization.

How is you son coping with the diagnosis?

Hi Debbie,

My daughter who is 19 is also a milder case. She has one rare mutation,

and her docs think that may be why her CF is mildish. However she was diagnosed

at 8 months, but it was due to dehydration, elecrolyte imbalances and failure to

thrive, not with lung issues. She had two positive sweat tests, that is how she

was diagnosed.

She has had pneumonia a few times and so does have some lung involvement now.

But we recently found out she no longer needs enzymes. They said she may need

them again someday but not right now.

Anyway welcome to the list. It is a really great support and resource for all of

us.

love,

Mom to Nick age 21 nocf and age 19 wcf
