He has one gene related to CF thus making him a carrier. This is not perfect news but still great! If/when he starts having children his partner will have to be scanned for CF to see if they have the possiblity to pass it on and have a positive CF baby. Now I'm curious to know if we got lucky or if only one of us is a carrier. I'm going to call around to see if we can get a genetic workup done and how much it costs. Hubby's insurance might pay for his and my mom might pay for mine if it's not super outragous.
As the saying goes, when a door slams shut in one place a window opens somewhere else. After staring at the door for many years, it finally occured to me to go look for the open window. I discovered I like sunlight and warmth much more than peeling old doors anyway, so I climbed out the window and reveled in my discovery. I will never sit behind a closed door again, no matter how comfortable my chair becomes. Me
Mel, I'm glad you found your own open window and stepped through it.
