OMG mold?! <faints> That's just really, really scary.
I have cf myself, my kids don't, but I thought I'd share my routine, too. I don't have exact times because my 3 year old and 5 year old have this awesome talent of throwing everything off schedule in the blink of an eye, but I do have an order.
I get up, get my daughter in the shower, then get her breakfast. While she's eating, I take all my oral meds. Then I get her bundled up and put her on the bus. My youngest is usually waking up about the time the bus is pulling away. I get her breakfast and something to drink, and start my nebs. In the morning I do 2 puffs of Combivent, HTS, Pulmo, Advair, and then Tobi when I'm on it. I then try to do a vest treatment, but when things are crazy, I will just use the Acapella. All day is about taking care of my girls, eating enough (actually hard for me as I tend to forget to eat, don't ask me how) and trying to stay active. In the evening I try really hard to work out, but I admit, it doesn't happen nearly enough. 7:30 I get the girls to bed, and between 8 and 8:30 I start my treatments again. Combivent, HTS, Advair, and then the Tobi if need be. I always do my vest during the HTS because this causes me to cough up sooo much. I always eat some sort of snack after doing my night time treatment. As far as the neb cleaning goes, I wash them with soap and hot water after all 3 nebs are done, then I dry them, I used to set them out to be sure they got totally dry, but then I bought the Germ Guardian. Now after every treatment, I wash, dry, and stick them in the Germ Guardian. I boil 'em every other day.
