Guest guest Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 hi gale, Ethan was diagnosed a week before his second birthday, he will be 2 1/2 christmas day. basically the way ethan got diagnosed was purley by chance. My husband is tongue tyed which means he cant poke his tongue out. They thought ethan had this so we wnet to see piedatrition when he was 4 months old. When we went the dr asked about his health and we assumed he was ok, until he listend to his chest, Ethan got diagnosed with asthma there and then. On that chrismas eve when ethan was 6months we had to take him to hospital because his breathing was realy bad and they said he had bronchallitus (sorry about spelling) and changed his pumps. Any way they then sent him home to get on with it. He was like this for 6 months till a dr finally agreed with me that something was not right. So off we went back to the piedatrition after a long while he turned round and said he didi not know what the matter was and ethan needed loads of tests. the first on was a sweat test to rule out cf. After 5 of these and a blood test they finally confirmed it was cf, even the drs are baffled because if u see ethan he is chunky and eats realy well. After they started him on all his anti biotics and vitamins he realy perked up and is now a little sod. Sorry if this is more detail than u needed but its so hard to explain other wise. Do u have a child with cf? hope to hear from u soon Sue > >Reply-To: cfparents >To: cfparents >Subject: Re: hi im new >Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2003 00:44:25 -0000 > >Welcome Sue.
