I'm so glad you are doing well! I actually met the man who invented that vest! When Lisa was a baby we used to have to literally turn her in all different directions and "pound" on her with a cupped hand. Then her grandfather (my sil's dad) came up with this huge rubber suction cup looking thing that was attached to a thing that would move it up and down and we used that. I was very close to Lisa and the only other person, besides her parents, who knew how to do her treatments. When she was born the outlook for CF was so dismal and now I just saw something the other day that called it a "potentially" fatal disease. It is wonderful to see the advances that have been made. Now we just need to wait for them to come up with a cure.I pray that you continue to have good health.
