hbollotte · Jan 27, 2008

so hill rom isn't good? should i have gone with respritech?
my doctor never even brought up using the vest to me i had ask her to get me a rx for one. it kind of bothers me that she never brought it up. since i had my dip in health after i had morgan i'm trying to be very proactive about doing treatments and trying to stay as healthy as possible.

I got my vest 9 years ago because doing CPT with my mom was not fesible any longer. I know it has made a huge difference in my FEV1 even if I have no idea if there was a jump or not since it was so long ago.

They do log your hours for the first year (at least for me that was all they did). They just want to make sure you are using it as prescribed since it is a huge expense. They called me every month and asked to check the counter on the bottom of the vest. I am sure you have a much newer version than I do so I don't know where yours would be located.

I had someone come out when it was delievered and show me how to use it and all. I had tried it when I was in the hospital so I was a little familiar with what settings I needed.

Good luck and I bet you are gonna love it!

Yea for you, my son has the hillrom we just love it I guess to each his own, someone came out and showed us how to use it, yes they did check the usage for the 1st year, we got an updated one and traded in the old model last year, never had any trouble with it, they have replaced his vest for a larger size once, and one of his hoses tore, each replacement part arrived within 2 days no questions asked, hope you enjoy it we feel like it has helped him quite a bit. Good Luck, your baby is just precious!!!
