The icepacks -- polarpac (sp) that we got from the cf services pharmacy with DS' Tobi work GREAT and last a really long time. We've left the house early in the morning and arrived at our destination that evening and the pack has still been frozen in a little lunch bag cooler. We usually have ds vest in it's rolling duffle bag, a back pack with the cooler, nebulizer cups, compressor, baggies with the rest of ds' drugs.

Hi, we fly so much sometimes I think we could have purchased our own plane by now. Even though Anna no longer uses TOBI and Pulmozyme, Rachel does. We do not keep the original boxes which have the prescription label stuck to them, but I do cut off the label. We pack both Pulmozyme and TOBI in their own ziploc baggies with the corresponding prescription in each bag. The size of the cooler depends on how long the trip is. I like to use the insulated lunch bag cooler if all the refrigerated meds will fit with an icepak also in a ziploc baggie. Otherwise we will use a small playmate type cooler with an icepak or two. I/we pack all meds for carry-on, never ever ever do we check them. Rachel's neb.compressor is small and has it's own little bag that fits her inhalers and nebulizers and so it all fits into a backpack with the lunchpak cooler and cpt device (used to be a mechanical percussor, now it's the Frequencer)as well as her daily meds container and enzymes. When going through security, we must remove the Frequencer but never did we need to remove the percussor, we also removed the machine but never removed the lunchpak cooler with the liquid meds. Just never have and have never been asked to. The only time the girls have ever had any trouble was on a return flight from Burbank and Rachel was carrying the little eclipse balls for IV meds. They all had their prescription labels attached and the stupid letter (because it was sooooo much medicine) was back at my sisters house! They were only delayed a minute when they were asked what it all was and they were let through no real problem. We flew to Australia last Christmas and had to take along both Pulmo and TOBI and didn't have any problem. When I carry liquid prescription oral meds. I put it in it's own seperate baggie, away from my carry-on liquids bag. Anna never takes out her insulin pens. To be honest, just never thought about it and no ones ever stopped her. We've had more problems with Anna's darn bowling ball than with security for anything we've had to take on board for medical needs.

Have a great trip wherever you go!

We flew to Disney with our almost two year old this spring. We flew Southwest and we called ahead to let them know we would be traveling with liquid meds. and his vest and that we would NOT be checking any of it. When we got to the airport, security had already been alerted about our "stuff" and they were great. We had our letter, but did not need it. They checked everything out quickly--we did have everything in the original prescription boxes/bottles--and we were on our way. Also, we used a "bottle" cooler for Luke's meds. (he only does pulm. that needs to be kept cool). They are small little coolers meant to hold 2 baby bottles and have a slot for the ice pack and ours even came with the little ice pack. If you have a lot of meds. that need to stay cool, the lunch bags are probably more practical, but that little cooler was perfect for us! Have a great trip!
