Physiotherapy: Airway Clearance Techniques in infants
Hello Our daughter is 15 months old and followed by a group of physiotherapists specialized in pediatric respiratory diseases since she is three months at home. We have always heard "she goes well, she is not congested, not productive," with two sessions per week, more would be useless according to them. A technique used is the Forced Expiratory Technique, with gestures rather "brutal", a cough caused by pressing on the trachea and suctioning the nose and back of the throat. So we relied quite logically to professionals feeling. Following the annual review we got disappointed, with the test results showing a deterioration of bronchi. Our CF Centre has recommended one session per day. We work for a week with a new physiotherapist, a second one, which places her hands on each lung and drains smoothly. Performed on two sessions, she felt a difference in amplitude between the lungs breathing, and mucus, mobile, and it happens to be traced. What are effective methods to drain the mucus in an infant or baby (say until the child is able to cooperate, blow, cough)? Does this vary depending on the damage of the bronchi? (alveoli distended and trapped residual air) Thank you in advance for your help.

MRSA – a danger for asthmatics?
I have CF and am colonised with MRSA (sputum findings) since [time specification is missing]. After weighing possible damages and benefits by my CF centre, MRSA is not treated in my case. My new boyfriend [could also mean just: friend] is suffering from asthma since childhood. Is the germ a risk for him as well? What has to be considered?

Cystic fibrosis related diabetes
My son, aged 28, has just been told that he should receive a treatment for diabetes in the near future (within a year, more or less) and then be hospitalized for 15 days to control treatment. What about this treatment, inconvenience, devices to carry everywhere (is it light weight, discrete), insulin conservation (refrigerator…)? He is very concerned about this increase in care. Thank you in advance for your reply.
