Connor was referred to a Pulminologist when he was 2 months old due to a chronic cough and stridor. We had a CF test done (Cystic Fibrosis) which came back negative:D and also a Bronchoscopy (sp?) which is where they stick a small camera into there throat while they are put under to look for any abnormalities. I'm not sure what other tests that they commonly perform.

TY for answering! We were told we'd be there 3 maybe 4 hours. So I assume they'll be doing testing while we're there.
I would definetly think they would if you will be there that long. I don't think they would do a Bronchoscopy that day because they would not let him eat for several hours before. What are you're little one's symptoms?

Wow Melissa, poor baby has a lot going on! Connor has also had a chronic cough since he was a couple of weeks old, he also used to have a very rattly chest. He still has the cough but takes Pulmicort for it which helps a lot and the noisy chest has gone away. His Pulminologist thinks he has Asthma. I sure hope they can figure out what's causing all the problems!
