4 week old has CRMS for right now

Here is what I know so far--we went to Children's hospital Monday to get the sweat test and consult. The sweat test results were indeterminate--one was 33 and the other was 30. For infants, anything 29 or less is considered negative. 30-59 is indeterminate meaning CF is possible, and 60+ is considered positive. So I'm not sure if there's any weight in the results being on the lower end of intermediate or if intermediate means intermediate whether 30 or 55. Nothing is known about her second mutation, I1366T. So they said we're in a gray area based on the mutations--it's not a yes but it's not a no. Based on the sweat test, we're still in a gray area. She is otherwise thriving-83rd percentile for weight (has gained 1 lb 2 oz in 3 1/2 weeks), hitting every milestone for a newborn and has perfectly clear lungs. We go back in a month for genetic testing to find who has what and waiting for the throat swab and fecal elastase to come back which should be within a week. Basically covering all bases. As of right now, she is being considered CRMS. Here is the results from the initial screening- ----------------------------------------- CFTR DNA sequencing Mutation 1-delF508 Mutation 2-I1366T-This sequence change was described in an asymptomatic carrier. No reports link this sequence change to CF. This clinical significance of this change in cystic fibrosis is therefore currently unknown. Poly T/TG-(TG)10-7T/(TG)10-9T This child carries one severe CF mutation and one sequ...
