Wow thank you for that information!! I do not know much about cf at all.

Sweat tests take about 2 hours to do and you can get the results within half an hour(if your hospital is really good) and genetic tests usually take a week-a month depending on the company/urgency. If he isn't being treated at an accredited CF center then you should ask about that. Pediatricians don't deal with cf alot, and arn't going to be up to date about the best options.

You can email me if you want.

Oh okay thanks! I *think* the pediatric hospital in Edmonton (where they want to send him depending on the results of the tests here at our smaller, local hospital) has a cf center. Or at least that's how his mom (Brad's sister) made it sound. He'd go up to the Stollery children's hospital, again. Poor little guy has already been up there once.

I pray that he doesn't have CF....but one thing I have learned from having a sick niece(who's diagnosis is still unclear) is that for some reason the Dr.'s just voice out thier thoughts wether they know a definate or not. And the parents and relatives are left there panicking about the possible illnesses thier child may or may not have
so Prayers for baby Logan and all of his family.

Good news!! They did a sweat test on Logan yesterday and he does NOT have CF!! We are so so so grateful for this! Now he has to go up to the Stollery today and get some other tests to find out what he does have. The doctors say it's a possibility of 2 things, either a baby type of hepatitis that will clear up on it's own eventually, or else something wrong with the ducts in his liver and they'd have to do a surgery. But if it's that case, they are sure they found it soon enough that they won't have to do a liver transplant so that's good news too. Either way, both are better than CF!

Jess - didn't see this before, but glad to hear the good news and will keep them all in our prayers. God and Good Doctors working for Logan, can't get any better care than that. God Bless!
