    Tobi With Vest

    Hayley, 11yrs, is on Tobi every other month. She does Tobi in nebulizer while doing her vest. My friend Jamey, 28yrs w/ CF, said his doctor told him to neb Tobi after Vest treatment. Vest opens things up and don't want to cough Tobi out. It does make sense. Wondering what you guys do. Angie
