Ours was covered. If not, the Acapella Choice (this is the one you want, since it can be taken apart for cleaning and can be boiled; the regular less-expensive Acapella cannot) can be purchased through medical suppliers, amazon, etc.

Our clinic RT gave Emily an Acapella at her first visit (she was 7.) She was taught to take a slow deep breath in, hold for a couple seconds and then lonnnng exhalation (kind of like huffing.) Do multiple times in a row and then cough; repeat... The goal was for a 10min session twice a day...

You can do the nebs while he's doing the vest... this will save a lot of time, and will make airway clearance more effective, too.

I vividly remember running around the house being CHASED by my parents/brother to try to hold me down for "thumping" (CPT). Screaming and crying because thumping hurt so much. I am SO sorry CPT was a painful experience for you. Emily started with CPT when dx'ed at age 7. She hated, hated...

I agree with Beansmom. As sad as it makes me that Emily is so isolated from other children that she would be able to relate to with her disease, I would not permit her to attend a camp like this either. Strict infection control is HARD to maintain even in the clinic/hospital setting, and I...

It appears that your state does a genetic test for the most common mutations responsible for causing CF if the IRT levels are elevated. This is a much more thorough newborn screen than most states perform (most states only test for elevated IRT levels and as Heather posted, the vast majority of...
