should oldest child get tested

[Guest guest]

I just thought I would through this out and get a general

consensus. My oldest son, Tristan 6yo, is from my first marriage so

he and his little brother, Zack (2wcf) have different fathers. When

Zack tested pos. 2 weeks ago the CF dr.said that my other children

should be tested including my oldest. I informed them that he has a

different father and they still said he should be. His father just

informed me that his pediatrician said that he should not be tested

because he has a different dad. (oh yeah he lives with his dad in a

different state). and that he is PROBABLY a carrier. My question is

this- should I push for him to get tested? He has not had many

symptoms of CF, he gets a lot of respritory infection but other than

that he is a normal 6yo. What do ya'll think?
