Sue:
I currently work in paeds rheumatology (we deal with autoimmune disorders, not just "arthritis") and we've had a rash of Wegner's diagnosed within the last year. Age ranges from 6-17. Some have had a rocky course, others have done very well. The treatments are very toxic and not without side-effects.
I send you virtual strength and pray that your brother does well with his treatments.
