CF - Tell me I'm being paranoid

[CADS]

I'm not srue where to post this so I've posted under HEALTH too.

DD (8mnths) has been referred for a sweat test because she has partially rectal prolaspe. At the time paed told me they were only doing the test as a precaution and that she doesn't look like she could have CF.

Anyway, for various reasons the test has had to be rescheduled 3x and I suddenly had the "things always happen when you least expect" feeling.

Surely, if she did have CF she would have been diagonised by now and won't be thriving. She is lovely fat baby who's trying to do everything before her time.

History to date:

1. Reflux
   
   
2. CMPI
   
   
3. Broncilitis at 6wks after which she had a lot of mucus and almost seemed to have a cold like symptoms until 5mnths and always like she had crackingly noise in her chest while feeding.
   
   
4. Has had mucus in her stools since 6wks.
   
   
5. Constipation has to have a stimulating laxative daily.
   
   
6. Partially rectal prolaspe of a severe bout of constipation at 16wks.
   
   
7. Chest infection 2x since 6wks.
   
   As far as DH & I are aware there is no family history of CF.
   
   Tell me I'm being paranoid. 99.9% sure it isn't CF but every now and then the thought creeps into my mind.

Thanks Fiofio

At what age was your sister diagonised? And was she FTT?

Some things seem to fit with dd, but she is definitely not FTT and never has been.

Test is on Monday so not too long to wait.

Thanks again FioFio.

Bumping for the evening shift.

I agree with fio, sorry. I think the thing to remember is that if she's doing so well it may be one of the milder mutations, and also do bear in mind that clinical trials for the first stages of gene therapy are starting soon- it's very early stages, but even if your dd had it things will have advanced enormously by the time she's an adult. I hope you get an answer soon.

I've had butterflies in my stomach all day, and I don't mean due to exciting. Maybe, the heat is getting to me.

Do you get the results of the sweat test immediately?

oops should be excitment
