“Our neighbor has seen Izzy’s entire progression from birth and his reaction to seeing her 10-finger hands for the first time:
Wow! Izzy’s hands look phenomenal! I’m so happy you found Boston Children’s. Those doctors are more than surgeons. They are artists!”

This is amazing! All we need to add is a nutritionist who specializes in gymnastics training. If they fuel their bodies properly hopefully there will be less injuries:) the majority of gymnasts don’t take in enough calories.
The best team in the field, we’re so grateful for Elly & Dr. Bauer!
This is great! BCH did a fantastic job treating our little gymnast after her compound fracture of her forearm. TY!

The history of cystic fibrosis diagnosis
In 1955, Dr. Harry Shwachman, head of Boston Children’s Cystic Fibrosis Clinic, developed the first practical sweat test to diagnose cystic fibrosis (CF). It involved encasing the patient’s body in a plastic bag to collect sweat, then using the pictured device to measure levels of salt in the sample. Cystic fibrosis causes sweat to be 2-5 times saltier than average. The sweat test allowed for much simpler and earlier diagnosis of CF, crucial to effective treatment. A version of it is still the main diagnostic tool used today.
