Son with cf? one year of age

I will tell me his history and let me know what you think. Thank you for any opinions and information. I am 25 yrs old myself i had one positive cf and two inconclusive tests when i was six years old. Now i have five children all have been healthy basically except for one of my youngest. Austin He is a twin. he is seventeen months old. Born at 35 weeks on ventilator lung collapsed within first two weeks of life. Has had pneumonia every month or every six weeks since age of three months. Has been hospitalized a half dozen times. Most of time dr lets me handle at home because of my history and fact i have four others under five. He has asthma just diagnosed with gerd as well. has atrial septal defect, pulmonary vein defect. Has been on sterouids about every month up too two weeks a month since three months of age. If he has two days of no chest congestion we consider it a miracle. Has missed every family event but first birthday. goes around people abd outdoors and has pneumonia within two days usually. He is like flipping a switch starts often with runny nose day one cough day two can't breath and usually pneumonia ior on way they say by day three. I got to point where he gets a runny nose i call doctor give heads up get him in within 1-2 days and i am usually 99.8% right on diagnosis pneumonia or upper respiratory infection or bronchitis. He soaks anything he wears when he naps plays fevers why bother they drench him he smells salty when he sweats kind of gross. He had a sweat chloride today. Just finally seen lung specialist last week and he said enough is enough no baby should have a chart as thick as his with nothing but lung problems. So he ordered allergen tests, immunoglobin tests, cbc etc, two sheets of labwork let me know thank you for any opinions. there oare other things can't remember everything he is on pulmicort twice a day singulair albuterol in neb since 3 months for problems on couple other meds rough weeks

Hello and welcome.  It sounds like you have a very full plate.

What are the results of the sweat test?

Good luck to your baby and stay strong, may he get the right diagnosis and care he needs.

What about the results of the other blood tests, how did they come out?

They tested for imuune deficencies and allergies and cbc don't think genetic testing. Dr told me to get genetic testing to see what problem genes i have he said that would help knowing what to look for. My personal physician refused and told me it was just a suggestion and refused so i am looking for another dr asap to be tested so i know what mutations i have in order to help my son. The nurse was vague on results she said most were within normal limits but that the dr would want to see me to go over blood test results. Which conflicts what he said. Soi has me wondering now. To make it even nicer his twin was in er and has hydroseal and ing. hernia and has to have both sides repaired tomorrow morning. Thanks for suggestins.

Allergy test results negative allergic to nothing!!! Amazing I know they didn't buy it so they ran it twice. Same results. They said most things were within normal range but his platelets are high and the dr doesn't get bgack from vvacation until tomorrow. The nurse saidf they will have to monitor that but can't fill me in til dr reads reports. He has a bronch on june 6 they are going record it with a camera and take a sample of lung tissue for analyzing. He is really wheezy and congested again. They said he is a yellow flag right now probably a red and will have to be in hospital again if doesn't improve
