My daughter just turned 1 and on Mon at the Pedi office, she weighed 14 lbs. She is a breast fed baby and during the day she is fed formula and baby food. The Pedi right away, said she had lost a few ounces since her last visit and is concerned; so right away he said she needed to be tested for cystic fibrosiss. So, we took her to the lab where we sat there agonizing over her and watching her cry when the lab tech tried 3 times to draw her blood. Well, according to the Dr, all came out fine that there were some abnormalities in her blood, but nothing that would really stand out. He did say that she had a high level of acid in her system and is now testing her for that to find out why. Then he tells us, he did not have her tested yet for cystic fibrosis. So here we are again, upset & agonizing over our baby girl. I can't sleep at night & can't concentrate during the day. The disease does not run on my side of the family and neither does it run on my husbands.Has anyone gone thru this?
