Hi Samie. My son has had pneumonia many, many times. He is only 11 but we have
known about the cf since he was 3. At one point his lung function was only 54%,
that was a couple of years ago. He went into the hospital again and has steadily
improved. We just went to clinic last week and his capacity is now at 98%. We
have brought him home many times on iv antibiotics and gotten him through the
tough times. One thing I have learned is try and not worry to much, and take it
a day at a time. Hopefully your brother will be just fine but not knowing his
circumstances all I can do is wish your brother well and a speedy recovery. I
know it is hard but try and be strong for his sake. CF sucks but its not a death
sentance anymore. Hope and pray.
