Hey, I have Cystic Fibrosis too and I am 24 by now.
Something important but you might not know yet: How "strong" is the condition for him, can they say anything for now? I have been hit pretty mild because I can still breathe normally (except when running, I run out easily)
For us we were never emotional about the whole ordeal. I do my meds and I never really were sad about it.
Please, one important thing: Be happy. It really changes the future way of dealing with it. Deal with it in a good mood, because that's all you can do.
A good mood can and will give the body power to fight back pseudomonads and all that shitty crap better.
Pseudomonads are gonna give his body the most issues in my experience. Fight them back, fight them back early, fight them back with VARYING medicine (there are four different ones i've been treated with... one is tobramycin, the others... I forgot, they had similarly weird names). Vary, because pseudomonads will become immune to one thing in a matter of time.
Pancreas medicine... My parents used the trick of mixing it into my food... They are usually little pills filled with pellets, the pellets can be ingested directly. Mix them into food :)
