Hello to you all!

I am writing this post as screams in the background because

dady is giving him his neb treatment. 's doctor wants him to

receive his nebs via the mask intead of the hand held device. She

says that he will get more of his medicine this way. The only

problem is that it terrifes him, and he screams continuously tot he

point of going to sleep from exhaustion. I absolutely HATE to see

him go through this, but I know that it helps him breathe.

Therefore, he needs it.

Does anyone have any advice for helping adjust to these

changes? The doctor suggested letting him play with the mask at

times when he is not receiving the medication so he will get used to

it, and thereby, not be afraid of it. However, we have done and are

doing this, and it is not working. I also asked a Respiratory

Therapist today at the hospital if pediatric nebulizer masks are

avilable in different sizes ('s likes to ride up into his eyes

as he struggles to fight the treatment), and of course, they are

not. I am open for any helpful hints.

Also, with regards to a CF center......How does this work with

health insurance? Does it cost more to receive treatment at a CF

center? Does the doctor refer you to the center? And, with a

negative sweat test result, is it going to be difficult to either be

referred to a CF center and/or be seen in a CF center?

Questions..Questions..Questions......You guys are great for

providing so much info........THANKYOU!
