He is 28 years old and is in relative good health. He is one of a few of his era that have made it past their teens. He has a wonderful doctor that has followed his progress since he was a toddler. He understands the seriousness of his disease and is generally proactive in his own care, although he gets a little lackadaisical occasionally, especially when he feels good. He remains very active and he "forgets", and I'm sure all the meds and stuff gets old after a while. My daughter and my wife are on him constantly to insure that he has taken his meds and therapies at the proper times and takes all the necessary precautions...I'm sure that gets old too. There isn't a car in my family that doesn't have at least one bottle of his enzyme pills in it. But the result is that all present indicators point to a long and prosperous life, and I credit the vigilance of my daughter and wife as a major factor in that, and love them even more for it. I think that with the progress made in research the number of those passing that teen threshold of survival is and will continue to increase. But CF isn't one of the "sexy" diseases, so research for cures is greatly underfunded. Please give to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and/or take part in one (or more!!) of their annual "Great Strides" marches which take place throughout the country. My son-in-law has Cystic Fibrosis.
