Growing up with CF is what Mary did. Every day, sometimes multiple times in a day, Mary was required to “do a mask” treatment. After each inhalation treatment, I would put Mary upside down on my lap and “clap” her back and upper chest to loosen the mucus in her lungs so she could cough it up.
I addition, Mary took Cotezym to help her digest her food. She could not leave the house without the meds. Her teachers in school knew to help remind her to take her meds before eating.
This one of the earliest pictures of Mary having her mask treatment while playing Nintendo with step-brother Michael.
