Brother Pt. 2 (update)

National's got called off because of the Corona virus. It was such a devastation but, I will do whatever it takes to keep everyone safe. Right now, our parents are frontliners and they haven't been home since last week. Adellyn is upset and she's scared, I am too but I'm big sister now and she depends on me from now on until God-knows- when. Our aunt Riley is here but she has a baby and she's nursing so she can't really do a lot. My nana will come today and stay with is for a while until this virus is over. Andrew has been worried about mom and dad and us, but he can't do anything. Everynight is a struggle for us. Aunt Riley leaves her baby and has to go to work and come back the next morning, our nana is old so we need to help her with the house. That leaves me with Andrew.

I don't really have the knack of taking care of someone sick. But maybe because he's my brother, it came naturally. I think I'm doing pretty good with pulling and sticking in tubes, maybe? Well, he says I'm pretty good with them.

It's April 11th today and Andrew has some kind of therapy that help's him use his four limbs again. It's not a guarantee but, he's been doing good so far, but not as good as he was before this disease struck him. Kelly, will be coming over for the therapy and then she'll help with dinner. About dinner, more like food. Andrew is slowly getting the hang of eating solids now. He says he's like a baby but he'll do whatever it takes to do things normally again. Yes, the feeding tube is still in and he's living on Ensure three times a day, and gets a little bit of fruit.

Pain management, he is still in constant pain but he can manage it pretty well now.

But despite all these, he's still sick. He's dying to live that's why he fights. I know he'll beat all the odds because he's not that kind of guy who gives up when somethings hard or painful. He does not pity himself, and I know he won't so. We're hoping for the best and I'll see you guys in Part 3.
Maybe I'll write about it after we get the next doctor's appointment.
Andrew is pretty positive that he'll get better soon♡

Adellyn, Andrew and I hope everyone is safe.

Until next time🙏
