Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 , We live in ville, IL and use Cardinal Glennon in St Louis. I missed your original post, but I hope the sweat test was done at a cf clinic. If you are concerned about inaccurate results the dna test is a good option. Try to get them to test for as many mutations as possible to be thourough. Hope continues to improve! Sara > , > Did you say that you were from Central Illinois?
