Hi. I'm definitely not savvy with these chats. Please tell me the criteria for these vests. My granddaughter was diagnosed in March of these year. She was 5 years old. My daughter has just had the kids removed by child protective services because the school feels that she should have one of these vests and she should not be allowed to take part in recess. She is currently being seen by a asthma and allergy specialist who does not think a vest is necessary. Can someone point me in the right direstion to set this school straight and get the kids back to my daughter? I would appreciate any help.

Thank you,

I personally don't think the vest is a necesssity. If there is some form of CPT going on. I use a combo of manual CPT, an electric percussor and the Acapella. I always heard so much about the vest and was dissapointed when I finally tried one. I have sensory issues and big boobs and it was downright painful and didn't do much for me. However like I said...SOME form of airway clearance should be going on be it manual CPT or PEP therapy or whatever. The US is the only country that currently uses the Vest for CF patients

NOw I do agree she should be seeing a pulmo! An allergy/asthma doc just isn't cut out to treat CF

I second that-Holly is constantly "resetting herself" like I don't know that it hasn't been 10 minutes when I have only had time to walk from the the front door to the mail box & back!!!

We do the DVD's during VEST or she has this little chalkboard that she likes to color on. I also try to make sure my 2 year old is around during vest time because Holly gets a kick out of her putting her hand on it & pretending to shake with her.
