Cystic Fibrosis is a disease affecting more than 30,000 children in the United States. While there is no cure, a common treatment is the use of a nebulizer, the process of inhaling liquid medicine. Treatments however are often traumatizing experiences for young children, where parents are often forced to administer them when children are asleep due to uncontrollable crying.
