Laughter is the Best Chest PT: Freedom!

Freedom!

Our first time eating in a restaurant in over 2 years! We took an impromptu trip to Lakewood and of course we had to go to Esty's Besty's Vegetarian Eatery! We used to go all the time when they were in Cherry Hill, and Esther was so surprised and happy to see us. It was SO wonderful to get out into the world and see friends again. And the delicious food was an extra bonus!

About the Name

Chest PT is one of the most common treatments for CF, in which the chest is pounded on either by hand or using a machine to help break up the congestion and make it easier to cough out. When I was around 13 years old, during one hospitalization I became friends with two other girls who had CF. This was before they knew about the risks of cross-infection, so the three of us spent every day hanging out in each other’s rooms talking and laughing up a storm. Inevitably, the laughter would lead to all three of us launching into massive coughing fits, similar to the effects of chest PT. And so, “Laughter is the best chest PT” quickly became our catchphrase.
