Hello,
Unfortunately, I will repeat the other doctor's thoughts. This is not a disease that has a treatment because it is a congenital deficiency. Her doctor can tell nearly the time of her passing away but it is not so far, unfortunately.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Jnikolla, Pulmonologist
