Yeah I wasn't sure how well he'd been fitted for the vest~ figured it was worth a try. Wow, 10yrs. I bet he'll have the benefit of having neb treatments go faster now! I love that part when we get a new one. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

When the vest is too tight it doesn't inflate right, or when air is leaking- and the leak can come from either the hoses being cracked, the connection between hose and vest being worn out, or the vest itself can be torn. I would have him measure his chest circumference and call customer service...

Just a thought~ have the two vests always been plugged into the same outlet and/or the same surge protector? If so, given two died in rapid succession it may be worth checking to be sure you aren't having something short out/malfunction on that circuit- the vest uses a lot of power. HillRom's...

MamaScarlett- oh, absolutely. I agree fully that the attitudes we convey to our children should not be those of hopelessness and negativity- and that mindset won't only come across in our words but also in how we act. I also think it's important to note that parents will come to forums like...

Jessykt- I know I feel guilty about the genetics I've passed on to my kids. CF yes, but a couple of them also deal with another major hereditary condition that clearly comes from my side of the family. That guilt is a hard thing to live with at times, even though I am aware of the fact that my...

I love my children more than words could ever say. However, if I found out that one of my kids had cf before our childbearing days were over and we decided not to have another child- it would in NO WAY have been like telling the child with cf that he/she was inferior, substandard and not worth...

Keep in mind Jenn asked about CF Pharmacy- that is a totally different one based in FL and not affiliated with the CFF or CF Services at all. Jenn, which pharmacy of the two did you talk to?

One of the most important issues that NEEDS to be considered is that good health seen in a baby or young child is completely irrelevant to this decision. It means NOTHING. Really- I don't care how uncomfortable that statement makes anyone as they hold their toddler and dream about another ...and...

According to our team, I guess the short answer would be 'it varies.' Some do fine with inhalers, and others do much better with nebs and it can take trial and error to find the best match for each person along with being realistic about how much time the treatments take. Emily does much...
