Our 19 son was diagnosed with this last Friday. His Dr. said it was from having pneumonia 3 times within 5 months. I have so much to learn about this disease. I mean, what kind of quality of life can he expect, what is his prognosis?He is so young to be stricken with this.
My husband age 51 is dying from Bronchiectasis and all of its complications. We are living our new "normal" life. which includes frequent trips to the hospital. I administer his IV's at home, atleast 8 breathing treatments a day. Lots of pills. He is deteriorating fast, he is less than 110 pounds now. The horrible coughing and spitting up is torture to watch, so I can only imagine how he feels. He never complains. He talks about the day he will get better, but he will never get better.
My Beloved mother died of this last saturday - she was 71 - had sarcoidosis 1st..... then suffered with this for 14 months....she went downhill fast & had no lung capacity & was on maximum oxygen & a nebulizer but she/we didn't know she was going to die......I am heartbroken
i contracted the condition from the application of chest drains or air valves to force air into my under-devolped lungs, due to early birth. i now have loss of function from the top area of the right lung and 50% of my left lung is serverly un-developed from a collaps. it is now i am trying to understand the condition, because i beleive that alot more can be done for this than is being done.
i find specialists diagnosice of the condition to be quite negative and metal depilitating.
