My daughter has received the vest for the first time. The nurse who will train us had to reschedule us for later this week. She, and my daughter's psychologist, both recommended that she be allowed to play with the vest and try it on and see the hoses and touch everything for a few days prior to the first session with it, to make it less scary for her.
She has strongly and repeatedly requested that we hook it up to the machine and turn it on so that she can hear how loud it is, before we try it on her. The manual says not to run the compressor without the vest but I can't find anything either way about whether it would break anything to run it with the vest but without anyone wearing it (or with a doll or a stuffed animal wearing it, her top request).
Have you run your vest empty before? Does it hurt it? Does it flop about or do anything alarming?
I've left messages for the nurse who will do the training but she isn't responding so I thought I'd ask y'all since you've got the experience and the kids.
Thanks!
