Improving Pft's

[jshet]

Hi, I was wondering if there are ways besides treatment compliance to improve Pft's. my sons have been dropping at each appointment but he is not culturing anything and has not been sick. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you, Janelle

Exercise

He is doing exercise daily and we will continue. Hoping his numbers start going up. Thanks

How old is he?

He is 16. He also has autism so that plays a role in what types of things he is willing to do.

The biggest thing is finding something he enjoys. My sons enjoy cycling. One works out with weights, also.
I try to get my 9 yr old to jump on the trampoline for a while.

We watched these videos (just kept going down the you tube list) and they have inspired the kids to jump rope more.
