Hi mamas,
Well I think we found a solution. They gave us a new adaptor that fits better and so far we only had one little blow out - my fault. I didn't tape her up while doing treatment, and she pulled her vest tubes out and it tugged on the tube, opening up her port. Gross. Not a great way to start the day. Anyway, the nurses at the hospital knew what to do. Whew! Thank God for good nurses. Thanks everyone for your help. xoxo Elise

Does she handle getting a feed while vesting ok? They told us at the hospital never to have the feed running while she vests or she could throw up and it's a real pain right now because they have her on 12hr feeds (surgery's wonderful discharge plan for her and cf hasn't seen us yet to change things.)

Harriett, Sorry for the confusion...she wasn't getting a feed. I just had the adaptor in, because we had just finished meds. I should have removed it before the shaky vest, because it isn't as secure as her coreflo. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
