I realize this isn't going away and I do her PT daily as directed by the therapist at our clinic. I have asked about the vest and they suggested we keep doing it manually. I also recently called a chest therapist who does home visits and asked her to come over and show us some new positions. I was told that after the age of 2 there are some new positions we could try to encourage drainage. When she called me back she told me she had talked to my clinic about what I was doing and they were very happy with what I was doing and didn't see a need to change. They also told her that they wanted to wait until the age of 3 as there is concern with fluids from her stomach getting into her lungs when she is tipped.
She is very used to having PT as I do it every day but she does fight having it done on her front. I don't want to force it and make it miserable for her so she freaks every time I try to do anything but I do worry that we aren't doing her front and under her arms. Does anyone have suggestions on how to do that without her having to be forced?
Thanks,
Karen
