My brother Tyler

So, first of all I just want to say that I am a little disappointed that only one person left a comment on my blog on the "Pay it forward," post. I was really looking forward to doing something nice for those three people. I guess Emily just gets an extra special gift! :) I'm really not mad just so you all know!! I think it is good that not many people left comments because of timing. My brother Tyler has been in the hospital unresponsive for a few days and I have not had time nor the ambition to do anything. Tyler has progressed a lot since Thursday night when this all happened. He can open his eyes but he can't focus on anything, if that makes sense. His EEG Test came back better than we thought. He does have brain activity and some brain damage. We are very hopeful at this point and hope that things continue to get better. But, I also hope he doesn't go back to the life he had before he landed himself in the hospital. I hope he can learn from this. I really do. I can't stand to see my brother in so much emotional and physical pain. All I want and all I have ever wanted was to know that Tyler is happy and to see him come back to the church and get married in the temple and completely change his life around. I hope he is seeing what heaven is like and comes back and remembers a little piece so that he can work hard to get back there. I know that Heavenly Father has a plan for Tyler and we have to accept whatever happens to Tyler. We don't know what is best for Tyler, only the Lord knows at this point. We just need to do our part and have faith and trust in the Lord that everything will be okay no matter what. There is a reason Tyler is progressing and we just don't know what it is yet. It's hard to see him hooked up to so many tubs. It is especially hard to see him in pain. When some of us went to visit Tyler his body would move as if he needed to vomit, but it looked so painful. So painful he scrunched his face like something was hurting and... tears came out. It broke my heart to see him that way and especially to see those tears come out. I wish he could tell us what hurt, as I am sure he wishes he could too. He just can't, and we feel so helpless. I love my brother so much. It's so hard to see him this way. But I am still not losing hope.
