Is my daughter sick?

My daughter has gone through all of the testing for CF twice in the past 5 years and has still not been diagnosed because they cannot identify her gene mutations. She has a confirmed sweat test reading of 59, has shown asthma symptoms all of her life which are steadily getting worse, and she now shows the presence of p aeruginosa in her sputem test. She is now 8 years old and I am making apointments for yet another doctor to have all of the tests redone and pray for a diagnosis so that someone will treat her for this bacteria before it is untreatable. Has anyone else with undetectable gene mutations gone through a similar situation and have advise on how to get my daughter the help that she needs?

I am a mother of a five year old recently diagnosed with CF. Her sweat test levels were 69,69, 69 and 71. A gene test was sent to Ambry labratories and they identified a common gene and a very rare mutation.

We are patients through a CF Center. It is absolutely crucial that you visit a CF Center. They have a team of doctors that will approach ALL of your child's problems and some of yours!

You must fight for your child- you are their advocate and don't let any doctor dismiss your concerns. It took us five years to be diagnosed because my daughter's symptoms weren't obvious until a few months ago. We had taken her to see a Pediatric Pulmonologist at one of the best medical facilities in the nation/world and they DID NOT DIAGNOSE HER.

Good luck and God bless!
