Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Hello, Thank you for your reply. It is comforting to know that there are people out there who care. My son's name is . He hit some button on the keyboard which resulted in my post getting sent before I typed out the question. The test that they did was the sweat chloride test. He tested negative. But, I still have this nagging feeling that he might very well have CF. I have never heard of a CF center. What is this? We live in central Illinois, and the test was done at one of the hospitals. Thank you so much for replying and praying, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 , Where in central Il do you live? I grew up in central Il and was just wondering. Which hospital did you use? I know St. Louis will have CF center. Debbie Re: CF testing Hello, Thank you for your reply. It is comforting to know that there are people out there who care. My son's name is .

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Hi, Well, it's done (or nearly done). I saw my gastro guy this morning- a man I adore. I wasn't sure how he'd react to my getting sweat tested and to further DNA analysis. He agreed with both! So, I've already been to Quest to have the cf DNA analysis done and they are looking into whether I need to go to Yale for the sweat test or if I can go to a local hospital. He already said one of the local hospitals (my favorite, actually) doesn't have a large enough pediatric section so he disqualified it right off the bat. However, he thinks the other local hospital might be ok for it. They're making some calls and then will let me know. So, within the next few weeks I'll know, for sure, if I'm just a carrier or if there's a 2nd mutation somewhere. Love, Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
