Yes there is that chance that she is just a carrier. my understand is that both
parents have to be carriers. I am 35yrs old and was diagnosed only 2yrs ago so I
am a little new to it. I never had a symptoms until I was 2 and I had pneumonia
I am not trying to scare you but I went through my whole life thinking I had
real bad bronchitis. I have had a really good life and still do. What I am
trying to say is try not to be to worried because if she is her life will be a
lot harder but w/ the love and support of her family she can have a good life. I
will pray for y'all

Hello,
I found this group in hopes of some answers. My daughter was born
Dec.27,2006. Her heel stick test has screened a positive result for us
one CF mutation. I have to have a sweat test done on her. As of now-
She is almost a month old and has no symptoms- She does not taste
salty, she has normal stools and she has gained two pounds and two
inches since birth. I guess I am just unsure of the chances of her not
having CF. There is NO history of it on either side, However my sister
is a carrier for it- so I suppose I am as well. I guess my question is
this- Is there any chance that she is just a carrier herself??
