| Re: Borderline? What does that really mean?
It's my understanding that 0-40 is considered normal, 40-60 is borderline and above 60 is positive; however, DS' test was a normal 32, yet his genetic tests showed CF. Until you get the results from the genetic testing, you'll probably feel as if your life is in limbo.
When DS was diagnosed, we went thru different states of grief --- I can remember being angry, in denial, scared to death, crying jags.. Even once we got the answers to DS's health problems. We took it one step at a time -- treatments, medications... Sure we still had the period of mourning -- what we expected (normal baby) vs. dealing with a genetic disease. But what choice did we have? May sound calm, but I still worry daily about our child's future, worried he'll get sick, be hospitalized....
Just focus on your child. Keeping her healthy and happy.
