About a month ago I posted a message about Asthma.. and said that my
7 month old has been in the hospital once and has been sick ever since he
was about 6 weeks old with a chronic cough and croupy.  Well Asthma runs
in the family and my doctor sent him to a specialists... The specailist
is checking him for acid reflux, alleriges,and he is treating him with
aresol steriods long period... well today i took him for hsi shots and
the doc wants to have him checked for Cystic Fibrosis.... What is this? and
is it very serious? I would appreciate any info on this and any other on a
chronic cough... By the way what to they do when they do a MILKSCAN for acid
reflux?

Thanks Rachel
