154. Like a kid on Christmas

Oh man. so today on like one of my only full weekends off, i decided to finally have coffee with an awesome dude Jesse. I was so pumped since well we havent had lets say one on one time in a really long time. So we end up going to starbucks and it was fulll so we grabbed some bubble tea made by a newbie being trained, and well then we sat there. Then i asked Jesse if he had seen Mike recently and well, he was like "yeah wanna go?" OH MAN was i excited! but i was also really nervous. From what i've heard, he doesnt remember everybody, so its a select few that he can really remember. Anyways at this time im like oh man i really hope he remembers me. Anyways we sign in take 4 flights of stairs and finally come up. Then we look and see that he's playing connect four with some dude, so we come up behind him and say "hey buddy". Its do or die at this moment, as im praying he remembers me and alas he goes "hey guys thanks for visiting me!" this put a huge smile on my face, and then he was like "Paula go grab a seat" I was like OHHH mann thank you Jesus. Anyways i got to play connect four against him and ohh man he's awesome at it. even though our game kept collapsing. But anyways, then i watched him play chess against jesse,which was hilarious cuz he kept saying "thank you kind sir", " thank you mamme" oh man but chess is a really skilled game so im proud to say his memory is getting way better. Then 3 of his friends came and it was funny. They brought him cookies and then we all moved over to his room cuz it had more space in order for us to chill, and well they gave him dinner, which he finished even though he complained about having to eat beets. haha It was funny trying to convince him that beets were good for him. He was like "really??" so we told him he'd have BIG muscles in the morning and he ate them. anyways then we chilled and it was awesome. His friends were sweet, and we watched anchorman with him. I looked up and he had pictures of people in his room. Glad to say that the one of us and him that reads "Mike u sexy beast" is up there. It made me smile. There were some moments when i just sat there thinking about how far he's come. Like ohh man its crazy to have seen him one day, and then in the hospital in critical condition the next, but he's improved so much and i can say that i am a million percent proud of him. AND honestly i cant help but smile. GOD is soooo GOOD. I am literally like a kid on christmas about this whole day! I can say its pretty much one of the BEST days ever. thats about it for now. Im gonna visit him again this upcoming week. =]




this is the pic in his room =]
