I agree with the other posters, but especially Dave. They are just numbers, but if you don't like them, try to change them. To a certain extent, you can. Get active, exercise. I told someone else recently that when I was a swimmer my PFT's over 4 years went from (FEV1) 110% up to 145%! I know that sounds crazy, but it is possible not only to not LOSE function, but to gain it. Make sure your nutrition is excellent so that your body has the energy it needs to fight infection and to do the exercise that you decide on. Pick something you like and try to get another person involved (or join a team) to help you stay motivated and regular. Then go for it. Another thing to be aware of is that several studies have shown the effects of hormones and stress during the teen years to cause increased health issues for people with CF. That sounds bad, but the good news is that most people enjoy a recovery when they get into their 20's. They begin having fewer infections, or less severe infections. I went from having 5-6 hospitalizations a year during my late teens (17-19) to having had only 2 hospitalizations in the last 3 years. I was last hospitalized a year and a half ago. That is the longest I've ever gone wothout being in the hospital. Hope something I've said can help you. Good luck.
