How are we doing?

I have updated on lil Tino but I have been asked by a few "How are we doing?". We are all doing pretty good. The kids are adjusting pretty well to have a new crying/gagging baby at home. They were maybe a little nervous and unsure at first but they definitely love their baby brother. Big Sis always wants to hold Tino and loves trying to make him laugh. She is a big help watching him and entertaining him when I have to step away from him for a bit. She still gets a little nervous when he starts to wretch. She is doing very well as a big sister to two brothers.
Anthony is starting to come around a bit more. He wasn't so sure on how close he wanted to be to lil Tino. He enjoys holding him as well. The other night they hung out in bed and watched a little "Cake Boss" together. It was very sweet. Anthony also makes a run for it when Tino starts to gag. Anthony is afraid he may get puked on, which is a probability. The big 6 yr old is doing well as a middle child. He hasn't been deprived of attention anymore than usual.
We are trying to spend a little more one to one time with them. They seem to be competing for attention between each other. We have the bickering, tattling, poking each other, and such. They also have a great time playing with each other. They would be lost without one another.
They are both doing really well in school. Ysa is in 3rd grade and Anthony is in 1st. Ysabella is excelling in all her subjects except for math (still doing pretty good). Anthony is doing well in all subjects as well. We are working on getting his reading up to speed though. We started reading from his Easy to Read Bible every night. It is working out well. I'm usually way too exhausted to read him a story so it is perfect!
So that is how the big kiddos are doing.
John and I are both doing pretty good as well. We are usually wiped out by the end of the week. We have got a routine down for Tino's medical cares. His dialysis is pretty simple to get going in the evening. The only thing that is wish we didn't have is the feeding attached to him all day. It makes it a hassle to try and go anywhere. I can't just grab him and go. I guess you really can't with any baby but it does take a little more time.
The last few weeks have seemed to be consumed with doctors appts. They should hopefully slow down a little. We have a big 6 hour appt coming up next week. Tino will have to go in for a test to make sure his peritoneum is working well with the dialysis. So it will be an all day thing. This will be our first so I will let you know how it goes.
Other than that we are hanging in there. We are tired by days end but we are filled with joy everyday to have our lil tough guy with us.
This coming weekend on the 15th we will be doing a walk for Miracle Babies. We are excited to be a part of this fundraiser to help support NICU parents like we were for 3 months. I will hopefully take some pictures and share some more with you. We will be showing off our miracle baby!
Until next time!
