I'm just scared he won't survive this. He is 62. His lungs are his only issue. That's enough I know. How do u know he is getting better? How one does it take? He is going to rehab. Taking the appropiate antibiotics. Has been now since Feb. He quit work in January of 17. His infectious desease dr said his lungs sound better than they did. But also said he should be feeling better, I didn't ask her how better? He also has emphysema, just found out how bad, can't remove the cavity in his lung because of it. I don't know, just any suggestion on how to cope, or what to do to make things better, what he can do. Any thing he should stay away from or mot do? Thank you
