Help Adon Breathe
Donation protected
As most of you know Adon has Cystic Fibrosis. We want to provide him with a physiotherapy vest that will help him remove the mucus off of his lungs. These vests are something that are not covered by insurance. Unfortunately they are very costly. I have attached a link for more information.
"To minimize the risk for recurrent infection, bacterial colonization and progressive lung disease, lifelong daily airway clearance therapy is a medically necessary standard of care therapy for all CF patients. Significant airway inflammation may be present in infants and young children with CF who have minimal or no evidence of lung disease. The benefits of airway clearance therapy are greatly diminished if treatment is deferred until the development of significant lung disease.
Vest therapy is recognized as a standard of care airway clearance therapy for CF and other lung disorders characterized by impaired mucus clearance. Its status is based upon an abundance of peer-reviewed and other published clinical research – including papers and abstracts presented at major medical conferences – and more than two decades of clinical experience. Airway clearance therapy is recognized as a part of the standard of care for CF and vest therapy has been demonstrated to be a superior form of airway clearance therapy.
Since its introduction in 1988, vest therapy has been associated with markedly improved clinical outcomes including stabilization or improvement in pulmonary function, better general health and extended life expectancy."
