King Bee

The good days just keep rollin!

(knock on wood)

Today was so awesome. For so many reasons. I walk in the room and see my brother dressed in his own clothes. Pajama pants and a t shirt. Sitting in his wheel chair.

I immediately just started bawling. I dont know why really. He just looked so handsome. So peacful. So innocent. And so, Britt. He looked just like Britt. And I love that. He didnt look like a hurt and sick boy in a hospital bed, wearing a gown. He looked like my healthy strong little brother again, for really the first time. I cant explain it really. But it was a really good feeling.

He was so responsive today. Giving thumbs up, answering yes to questions. We even saw him crack a smile when his friends told us that he orders a bowl of whipped cream at denny's and that's it. He totally started smiling, because we were all laughing and making fun of him. Me and my mom were singing his favorite youtube video to him. "Guy on a Buffalo", and we think we saw a smile. hahaha it was so cute.

HE IS SO CUTE.

We took him outside again and he LOVED it. Once again, the bees came. My mom remained civilized this time, dont worry.

Last night my soccer coach texted me an article on Bees, and their symbolism and significance. When he isn't coaching or being a lawyer, he is bee keeping. So he knows all about Bees. Any way, it is the coolest thing!! Bees arent supposed to be out during the winter time, so it is strange that they keep coming. But the Bee really is so cool. It defies the different laws of physics and science, by being able to fly even though its wings are too small. Anyway, there is a lot to it, but bees are symbolic of love, family, growth and nurturing. Especially family units and teamwork. You can go google it if you want to know why! So we have decided that Britt is our "King Bee", and we are his worker bees. I think there is a reason those dang bees keep coming around.

We are so proud of Britt and the progress he is making. He is getting better with each day and it is so exciting to see him succeed and take steps towards waking up and recovery. Everyday I am still in complete awe of the strength he has, and the sweet spirit that he exudes no matter the circumstance.

The infections and bacteria are no longer really an issue. We just have to be super careful because they are still not completely gone from his system, and it is something we don't want coming back, so precautions will continue to hold until the full 6 weeks is over!!

Thank you for your prayers. Thank you for your comments. Thank you for your love and support for my family and brother. Thank you for your selfless service and sincerity. We love you, and are so grateful for you.

Here is that Youtube video. Its our all time favorite. We knew every word and would walk around the house all day singing it haha.
