    Respirtech jacket

    My daughter is between sizes as well and her torso is long. Respirtech sent me a sizing sheet. I measured her and they were able to create a custom vest to fit her measurements.

    Any drink/smoothie I can make in bulk?

    When/What treatments?

    I think your doctor is leaving the decision up to you because you need to weigh the cost/benefit for your child since the current data did not support putting a child under 6 on the drug. My daughter started CPT at 8 days old and nebs at 1 month old. She nebs Mucomyst and Albuterol. She now has...

    Neuropsychiatric events with Singulair

    I am surprised that your doctor did not inform you of this side effect before putting your child on the drug. Especially knowing her history. Our daughter is 4 and the doctor told us of this potential effect before putting her on the drug. She also let us know that the percene of people that...

    New Wearable Airway Clearance Device

    Interesting! I am also interested in the cost. The site states they are creating children's models, which makes me wonder about how they handle the child's growth. Would a person need to purchase multiple vests over a lifetime?

    Interpretation of Ataluren Press Release

    I disagree. There are several CF drugs available that slow progression. I really doubt they all decrease sweat chloride. I don't think sweat chloride is the only predictor of whether the drug works or not.

    Are you continuing HTS for <6?

    I believe the .09% was the control group. The participants that actually got HTSrecieved 7%. My daughter participated in the study. She does not have significant lung involvement yet. She had her first hospitalization recently (for pnemonia and influenza). She is 4 1/2. My personal opinion is...

    Are you continuing HTS for <6?

    Does anyone havea link to the study results? My daughter is 4and is currently on a 3 week round of HTS due to having been hospitalized for pnemonia and influenza. At this point, we do not plan to continue HTS after the 3 weeks. My daughter was a part of the ISIS study that tested HTS on children...
