my newborn grandson had an early diagnosis of possibly having CF …he was delivered on tuesday shy of her 8th month…an obstruction was removed on friday…how long does the testing normally take???I am beside myself waiting to know…he is in Boston and my son is unable to cope with questions…so if you could give me some idea I would appreciate it thank you tina
Dear Tina,
My daughter was diagnosed when she was only 4 months old. She went to day care one day and I went to work. I got a phone call there telling me my daughter was in the hospital and had quit breathing, they pronounced her dead. Children’s hospital finally arrived and got her breathing again. When she got to that hospital, me and my family wanted them to test her for cf because it runs in my family. They finally tested her and that was the longest wait of our life too. We knew something was wrong when the doctors stood outside the door talking about something in secret before they came in. When they told us the test was positive, we broke down. Now my daughter is 5yrs. old and she is healthy as a horse, you could never tell she was sick by looking at her. I know what you are going through, I’ve been there. I hope everything goes as well for you and your family as things have for us, even better, hopefully the test will come out negative. - Kary
