Hi all,
I am new to the board...but not new to CF. I have been 'lurking' for some time. Just to give you a little history. My daughter Amanda is 11 and was diagnosed at 1 year. I have to say, as a parent, the Vest is probably one of the single most valuable tools. We love, love, love our vest. I felt like we had won the lottery when we got ours. Unfortunately, we do have the old model and it is very heavy. We still take it with us every where we go. My husband is in the USAF and we do travel quite a bit...but I just creative in my packing and off we go. My advice, if you are able to get the vest, get it. You will not regret it, especially when your child is older. We are very disciplined about doing our treatments and having the Vest helps us with that in so many ways. The younger your child establishes the habit...the better off they will be...good luck with your decision.
