    Throat Cultures

    We do it all the time here in France. The RT who does my dd's CPT makes her spit into a cup after the CPT session and we take it to the lab at the hospital. The cup has to be sterile though. It is very practical b/c we can culture her more often than 3 months, which is really a minimum.

    Air purifiers

    We have been using an air purifier with HEPA filter & carbon prefilter in our dd's room. I was considering putting antoher one in the bathroom since it has no windows and came across one that kills germs by heating air to 200°C. Has anybody heard of this? Is it safe for ppl w/cf?
