Poll about types of CF represented here

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I'm curious about something and I'd like to set up a poll on the

board about it. I was wondering what types of CF are represented

here on the board. Having a baby with Atypical CF, I keep hearing

about how unusual it is (and, presumably, that's why duPont didn't

know what they were doing to her). Yet, I see many parents here on

the board have Atypical CF babies. Of course, this could be the

phenomenon that happens when you buy a new car: all of a sudden, you

see that make of car everywhere (or when you're pregnant it seems

there are more pregnant women in the world than ever)!

I will set up the poll to query everyone, but I don't want to

offend...what's the terminology? " Regular " CF vs. " Atypical " ? Or is

it " Typical " , " Ordinary " , " Usual " ? I have to ask because I know our

babies are anything but typical, ordinary, usual or regular!

So, to those of you who have non-Atypical CF babies: how would you

want the condition described in the poll?

Please advise, thanks.
