I'm feeling your frustration and I'm so sorry for the additional wait.

I don't understand the big deal about scheduling sweat tests and then waiting days for the results. We live in a metropolitan area of about 1 million, and we were able to get a sweat test within a few days of being told to do so; AND we got the test results within the hour.

And why the invasive tests (upper GI) before the sweat test? I realize my rant doesn't help you but I want you to know that I'm pulling for you and I hope you get your answers soon. Hang in there!

Is the GI test at the same facility? Maybe you could call them up and mention that since you're going to be there anyway, maybe they should go ahead and adminster the sweat test, too. Better yet, ask about genetic blood testing.

DS passed his sweat test with a normal 32 at an accreditted facility. Fortunately, the neonatologist had already ordered blood testing at our local hospital before he was transferred to a children's hospital. We got the results of the blood tests BEFORE the sweat test came back, which thoroughly confused me.
