Awesome numbers! Also, remember not to compare those numbers with other older CFers and think that they will only go down from where he is...Here's my nearest comparative: 10/16/87: FVC 87% FEV1 77% I was 7 years old. Here's my PFT at 14: 12/12/94: FVC 108% FEV1 111%. I look forward to Lane kicking my butt in the numbers department. Just keep him active and on his treatments and he will do just that!<br /><br />Ronnie<br />You can see my full PFT history at my blog under "My Cystic Fibrosis"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06849674714471543078noreply@blogger.com
