7% saline continues to deliver.

Faye - Maybe that dark sputum is just a sign of how deeply the vest and saline together are able to get in loosening the mucus. I was seeing green in mine for 2 weeks after my flare in May/June, but now its clear or occasionally yellow.
We are experiencing "minor" air quality issues, but my daughters and I all find them quite difficult. For most of a week, I was wearing an industrial N95 mask (with the exhalation valve) outdoors. Today it looks like the overnight rain & wind cleared the air a little.
Hang in there!
Sue

Appreciate your experience, wisdom and willingness to share. I've been reading and dealing with this for 2 1/2 years but continue to learn--mostly from this great group. I should know by now not to panic but instead I just need to reach out to "connect." So blessed to have this site to go to for help and encouragement. I keep a calendar using various color markers to see (at a glance) what I experienced, the treatments used, medications taken, etc. I even take it to my pulmonary appts. The doctor said he "loves it." Thanks again Sue.
