    Does downs make you susceptible to other illnesses? I don’t know how that works.

    I’m sorry about your brother.

      Not Downs per se I believe, but it very often comes with other complications such as heart problems, like in my brothers case, and that likely causes a lot of troubles with the body that messes with all kinds of things like the immune system and so on.
