Awwww, what a wonderful thing to be reading on Mother's Day! Yes, Kyra helps in so many ways it is wonderful. She is not too fond of the extra mist that escapes from nebs, so it is kind of funny to watch her read to Katy while leaning away. She is a true blessing to her little sis.

My kids have always helped their brother. Someone said that it is just what they do and this is true. My kids are all 18 months a part so even the oldest was only 3 (by a 1 1/2 months) when Nathan was born and they really don't know any different than he does. As matter of fact, Chaise who is now 17 years old, wants to become a respiratory thearpist because of Nathan, his only fear is that the classes will be boring because he probally knows more than some of the teachers do about SOME of the equipment. In our family, this disease is a family thing, Nat knows that he is not alone and that his entire family is here and willing to help him in anyway that they can and that there is nothing his family wouldn't do or give up for him. We all wish we could trade places with him, but you know, he wouldn't do it even if we could because he hates it so much if one of his siblings is sick or gets hurt and can't stand it if he can't make them better. He says it is ok for him to get shots but he hates it if one of his siblings have to get one. There is nothing stronger or braver than a CFer! It is so awesome as a mom to see how the other kids respond to their brother and I know that if anything ever happened to me that Nat has 2 older brothers and 1 younger sister that will take excellent care of him for me. Don't get me wrong, they fight with one another and can be real mean at times, but I dare anyone else to try and see what happens, especially if someone decides to pick on Nat! They can if they want but nobody else can.

We have 7 kiddos and only Micah has CF. All of the kids like to help out. They help their brother with Hemophilia, and they help Micah with his CF. The oldest 2 are really good at shuffling enzymes to him, and making sure he takes them. My 9 yo daughter is terrific at getting Micah to eat when he's refusing. The 7 yo brother hooks Micah up to breathing treatments and gets his vest going every morning. 12 yo brother makes his milk and helps me make his 'juice' all day (watered down Gatorade with Benefiber cause the child won't drink water for anything in the world).
Perhaps the cutest is the 19 monther though. She loves to pull down Micah's nebulizer and carry it to him. She puts the mask on his face and 'counts' un...uh...UHN and pretends to discharge the Advair. Of course, she also likes to grab his fishy masks and run away with them on her face, so she's not a perfect helper yet.
The one thing I won't let the kids help with is Micah's poop. He's another non-stop chronic diarrhea. Its foul, its liquid and he prefers to poop every 10-30 minutes so I won't let the other kids have to deal with his poop at ALL.

Yep, they all seem to help out. Even my 5 yr old knows about his vest and if the hose comes loose she tries to plug it back in. She will bringhim his medicines if I have them on the counter. They are so cute.
