Facebook Memory – March 1, 2023 ‎‎CF Vests Worldwide is preparing to send a Baxter International Hill Rom Cystic Fibrosis vest to Valeria of Barranquilla, Colombia.

This will be the VERY FIRST vest we will have sent to a patient from Colombia.

‎

‎This is Valeria’s story, from her mother –

‎“VALERIA WAS DIAGNOSED AT 8 MONTHS OLD, FROM THERE OUR LIVES CHANGED COMPLETELY, THERAPIES, NEBULISATIONS, MEDICINES, VITAMINS, A WHOLE NEW ROUTINE FOR HER AND US, HER PARENTS, NO ONE IS PREPARED TO RECEIVE SUCH NEWS. PERCUSSION THERAPIES HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT DUE TO INEXPERIENCE AND THE LACK OF EDUCATION THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED IN COLOMBIA IN THIS REGARD, VALERIA IS VERY SMALL AND DOES NOT EXPECT, DOES NOT BEAT MUCUS, WHICH MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO PICK MUCH OUT OF HER LUNGS.”

‎

‎ 464 Hill Rom and Philips RespirTech Cystic Fibrosis vests donated to CF patients in 62 countries.
