I would ask to have her tested for CF but also ask to have her tested for immune deficiency. I would make sure they do the IgG subclass test for the immune testing, not just the IgG testing. What this test is for is to see if she has enough immunoglobulins to fight off infections. It is just a...

Just thought I would update...not much of an update, DD is having sinus surgery next week. They will culture the junk then as well. The ENT, for now, is calling it "CF like symptoms without having CF". At her pre-op appointment we are going to have blood taken for hypo gammaglobulinemia...
