Migue's Vest

This little boy has cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is a disease that makes it difficult to breathe because of a build up of deposits in the lung. Dr. John Vallee arranged for a special vest to be donated for Miguelito in the town of San Juanico. The vest is filled with pulses of air to pound on his chest in a gentle way that helps clear the lungs. Miguelito will have a difficult life, but the vest will certainly help.
