how many times a day do you have to do this?

[kclontzbell]

@ICINGSUGAR7 : when he's doing well we do PT twice a day, but if he's sick we do PT three times daily.

[kclontzbell]

@ICINGSUGAR7.  We do PT twice a day if he's well and three times a day if he's sick.

Is it hard for your son to cough up the stuff in his lungs?

[kclontzbell]

As he's gotten older it's getting easier to encourage him to cough.  He still doesn't bring up much though.

@beautygirl197 No, this has to be done because of his genetic disease. Cystic Fibrosis causes a thickening of the mucus and this needs to be done everyday. It shouldn't hurt, it is just a rhythmic light beating to loosen the mucus.

You are such a good mother!! Keep up the good work!

It's really nice to see this done rather then only being TOLD how it's done. Ty for posting. It looks like he enjoys it,lol. Like a massage almost.

[cutechong]

I'm surprised he's not waking up from you doing that to him during his nap. What exactly is this thing suppose to help do?

@itubebuddy no harm giving TCM a try if you can find a qualified doctor............for example, bird's nest has cured quite a number of lung-related ailments............end of the day, no harm trying...........since it's a whole lot safer than medicine from those drug companies.
