I'm a mother of a cf adult. My son is 22 years old. He too, like many teenagers do went down the wrong path. He was embarrased to have cf, didn't want any one to know he had it. Josh is small in weight and height,I feel he was trying to fit in the "in crowd" he began drinking and doing any kind of drugs ALL kinds of drugs!!He felt like I'm gonna die any way might as well enjoy it! It broke my heart ! He has like 26 illegal consumptions and so on. I couln't talk him into anything! Well he was at a party (drinking whiskey) and a fight broke-out and Josh ended up in a fight, there were several people fighting and he was on the bottom of the pile. A black-belt in Tyquando (?),was on him chocking him, he was about to pass out so he pulled out his pocket knife and stabbed the guy in his leg. He felt like he was going to die, he couln't breath at all. The knife hit his main artery and the guy had alot of surgerys and thank the good lord he didn't die!!! And now my son is sitting in prision for 17 years!It was his first felony. Josh is doing pretty good health wise, but if I don't do somthing quick I'm afraid the system will kill him. He has been there for almost 2 years now with-out a pounding! He recieves his breathing treatments, Tobi but no pounding or any thing to bring the mucas up. I imformed the health administrator I had a flutter-valve that he used while in jail,but they won't allow him to have it.He knows it's important to stay active it helps to bring up mucas, but he is so short winded and feels like his lungs are tight.He has gone several days without his pancrease MT 20, 9 days, 4 days ,6 days!They are always running out ,he gets severe stomache aches, on the 9 day spell he lost 14 pounds, and we all know how hard it is to gain that much weight.I don't know what to do!!!I have spoke to ACLU but the prision seems to be able to do what ever they want.The prision doctor says his condition does't need a pounding or a special diet.I'm so scared for him!! Does anyone know what I should do?At his age, he needs the best of care. My son knows the lord now! He is in college and has made the honor role. He wants to be a minister now. If you don't know what I should, please reply anyway. I would love any input. God Bless all of you!
