Travis is sick again for the third time this year. This is the first year he's been in the hospital since he was a baby. He's 19 now. He went to the doc on Tuesday and the doc said he had borderline pneumonia and he wanted to go ahead and admit him. But Travis begged the doctor not to, so he put him on oral abx and told him to come back in 2 weeks or come back sooner if he didn't start to be better in a few days. So my mom called the doc today to let him know that Travis wouldn't eat anything and he seems worse, so the doc said to bring him thru the ER and they are gonna put him in. I'm just really worried about him because he doesn't seem to realize the seriousness of having CF. He acts like normal teenage boy and likes to go out on the weekends and drink and party and no telling what else. His FEV1 was at 55% on Tuesday and they were in the high 90s when he went about 3 months ago.
Update--Well, Travis refused to go in the hospital and he's 19 years old, so they couldn't make him. He's doing a little better, but he really should be in the hospital. It really makes me angry because I can't stand to see my brother doing this to himself. But anyways, he's suppose to go back next Tuesday (I also have to go that day) I don't guess there's much they can do though if he refuses to go in.
