? Herbal/vitamin resource, Vest ?

July 27, 2003

Hi Everyone,

I don't post often but I read everything and to those of you who are

new, you have joined and great and very informative group.

Kim, do you have any recommendations on a good

supplement/vitamin/herbal resource? I am a Nurse Practitioner and

would like to develop more expertise in this area both to help

Shaelin, and to improve my practice. Also do any of the resources

include recommendations for children. The resources I have looked at

do not seem to have this information.

Shaelin is 28 months and is followed at Children's in Boston.

Although he gets CPT twice daily and is on Pulmozyme and Flovent,

there is never any sputum production with the CPT. I have inquired

about the vest and was told that it was not recommended until chilren

were 5 years old. In reading the posts, many of you have children

who were started on it much younger. Do you know why there would be

an age recommendation?

I have finally posted a couple of pictures of Shaelin. We have now

had him as a foster child for 2 years and are still hopeful that we

will be able to adopt him. I have appreciated all of the support I

have received from this group regarding this as many of my friends

think I am crazy! I will keep you all posted on our progress.
