    another gtube question

    If you have a mic-key button they say you should be able to put a dime or soda tab underneath the part where you fill the balloon. I have kind of had the opposite problem where mine was too long after surgery. After a large meal and if I am standing it sticks out rather far. I have some gauze...

    I spend so much time...

    Jessica kind of echoed the point I was trying to make. If you vest 30min and then walk 30 min sometime during the day it's a good combination. You get out of the house and some fresh air and you don't feel so confined to your therapies. I always do my aztreonam or tobi while vesting, even when I...

    I spend so much time...

    I have never not done my aerosols while vesting. I personally do a 30min vest therapy every morning and night while doing xopenex, mucomyst, and then hypertonic saline or whatever antibiotic I am currently on. The added moisture from the nebs helps moisten and clear mucus out better. I find...
