It's wild you can see it in Adam's eyes and facial expressions how much better he is doing now. It's a huge difference. So so happy for him.
I completely agree. His face looks so much brighter and happier. Before he always looked distant.
Exactly 🎉
Wait… I stopped watching for awhile and now I’m back, what happened?! 😢
@@mmm555mHe suffered a traumatic brain injury and was very unwell and struggling with daily life. He has been going away for residential treatment.
@@mars7612 Lol same, still can’t find the answer 🤷♀️
The fact that Celina’s voice breaks and she trying to hold back her tears the whole time… my heart goes out to these two… the love in her eyes when she looks at him and the way Adam looks at her when she’s talking oh and when he said “it’s ok, you don’t have to feel bad for that (opening the water bottle)”
It's definitely true love!
They are so perfect for each other!! I love them so much!! 🩷
So true its beautiful true love 💜👻🦇

He legit looks like a brand new human. And his complexion! SO HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS!
His complexion…YES!! That was the first thing I noticed. The second was how strong his voice is! 🥰
What happened??
@@MelissaRMock If ANYONE deserves this happiness - it's *def* these guys, after everything they've been through over the past 10 years. I'm _SO_ happy for them!
@@mmm555mhe had a traumatic head injury when a fence post hit in the head
I love all your videos but this one is my favorite. I shared happy tears with y'all❤️ There's a whole new energy just emitting off of you two that I've never seen. Thanks for sharing this❤God bless you guys and keep you both healthy and happy😊
Being a woman grew up with no positive male figures, it's so refreshing and sweet see how Adam despite being sick is able to be empathic to Celina and being able to understand her side about everything that has happened ❤
Well said!
This is what ", to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until parted by death" means. You're a an amazing woman!
woah
Literally.
They're #relationshipgoals
I'm in a relationship and it's wonderful, and I'm hoping this will be us for the rest of our lives.
An invisible illness is so hard because unlike a broken leg, other people don’t see the injury. He looked perfectly fine but wasn’t. He was disabled and the disability spread to your relationships, your life. You heal and think you’re better but you’re not, now you have a set back from doing too much. It’s horrible. I’m so glad to see you laughing and talking TOGETHER! Celina you’re a strong person and this taught you both so much. I’m so sorry you had to deal with such a dark time. Glad to see you in the light!
This is what "In sickness and in health" looks like. ❤❤❤
10000%
Except she left him when he was sick
@@Noface-ux5it no she didn't, he went somewhere else to get better. O_o
@@Noface-ux5itmaybe get ur facts straight before saying smth like this
@@maybemikki do your research before running your fucking mouths the video is on her page stupid. Mad loud and mad wrong.
The sadness in his eyes is gone. im so happy for you guys
The complete difference in his voice and tone and expressions is amazing. I’m so happy Adam is feeling better! You guys deserve the world
The pain is gone from Adam's eyes. His smile is genuine ❤
Having a brain injury has taught me so much! At the worst part of mine, it was like my brain and body were separate from who I actually am. I felt such a failure and betrayal when my brain missed my only niece's birthday. The shame and guilt was overwhelming. I had tried my hardest to remember. Put up postit notes, set reminders on my phone, had a friend call to remind me. And still, I missed it. I remember calling my mom sobbing. She could barely understand me. I told her everything is gone. Begged her to tell me who I am. I know exactly what you mean about not being suicidal but knowing you cannot live like this forever. And sometimes it does feel like it'll be like this forever. I began to understand people with dementia and alzheimers so much more. They're not just randomly getting so upset, emotional, or violent. Their brain is betraying them and it's running the show. If you can't trust your own brain, who can you trust. If you have someone around you who lies to you, it's hell with a TBI.
Mine happened when I passed out at a wingstop. I don't remember much but I felt like I should go in the bathroom. A couple steps and boom, I hit the ground hard. When I came to, I had all these people around me standing over me. I panicked and just got to my car. Once in my car I realized I didn't know how to get home. But I used my GPS. After that it was like my entire life was on a giant etch a sketch. Every meal I had, face I saw, experience I had, smell I liked, places I'd been, people I met. Every single thing was on this etch a sketch. And when I went to sleep-somebody shook it once. I'd wake up with a little more gone each day. I was afraid to go to sleep not knowing what I'd lose next. But your brain NEEDS rest to heal. On the day I called my mom, I had nothing left. But my instincts said "she's safe". We weren't close but she was safe. She told me I'm kind, patient, good with old people and animals, I love to cook, I don't like spicy food or weird textures, my dog's name, my favorite color changes. It allowed me to sort of rebuild my identity.
Oh, my goodness. That sounds unbelievably, heart-shatteringly hopeless and disheartening. Brain betraying your body is terrifying. I did not have a brain injury, but i have a similar story (but with the body betraying the brain). This happened 10 years ago. I was at home, and suddenly felt _really_ light- headed and dizzy out of nowhere. It had been finals week, so stress was high, sleep was barely attainable, and the prior 3 days I felt as though I was on the cusp of a mild cold. Suddenly, after this dizzy spell, my vision went TOTALLY wonky, and I was having trouble breathing. I had never gained as a kid, so this wasn't normal. My parents were away for the whole day, and they had forgotten their shared cell, so I was super scared that if something were to occur, no one would find me. I barely maneuvered (like I was surfing the air) to the nearest house phone, and as i grabbed it, i fell and completely started to fade out. Luckily, I had just enough energy in me to turn it on and dial 911. Then I pass our. I ended up fading in and out in an ambulance, and woke up in the hospital. This marked the first day of what would end up being a nearly year- long stay in the hospital - due to a "medical anomaly", i.e. my organs were shutting down, I had sepsis, my body was acting like I was *severely* immuno- compromised, etc. If not one thing, then another - constantly getting better, then worse. They did 100's of tests, and I just remember starting up at the cracked tiles on the ceiling of my hospital room thinking - is this what I'm going to be looking at till the day I die? Worst part is - they *_never_* figured out what it was. Eventually, I decided if I'm going to die, I'll do it at home - on my own terms. The first day I woke up was this _gorgeous_ sunny, warm spring day. ALL i wanted was to go outside and sit in the sun. Iwas so weak I couldn't get myself out of bed. It was bad. It took me two hours (thank God I was home alone), but I crawled all the way to the porch door, and then, 30 minutes later, to the swinging love seat we have under a big cypress tree - in the sunshine. It was such a mixed bag of misery and elation. I had never felt so hopeless and alone.... and terrified. Tears started streaming down my face. And then I looked down and saw this tiny little snail, leaving this sticky "S" shaped trail behind it - moving _SO_ , SO slowly. And i just kept staring at it, until suddenly I realized that if the snail could keep stubbornly moving, despite its evolutionary handicaps, I could be just like it! And so, at that moment, I had an epiphany - that no matter what the doctors could or could not tell me, no matter how much "time" I had left - I would take an example out of the snail's book. And it worked. No one knows how, but I healed myself - that day, I think. To this day, I tell people that a snail saved my life one day - and I mean it.
Wow! Both of your stories are Amazing and sad at the same time 💔 Bless both of you 🙏💪👍 🫶🫶
My mom had concussion trauma from having 5 concussions I am just happy she can function, she has rly bad memory now and can barely do anything besides watch tv etc I love her and I wish she never tripped and fell I wish I saw before and caught her bc she'd be my mom again
@Atlasintokyo Oh, gosh. I'm so sorry. I can't even imagine how saddening and difficult that must be. I hope, against all hope, that perhaps, somehow, she is able to get better. That must be so tough for you. 😥
I totally understand and relate...
After my TMI, I've had some weird issues. Things that could seem "small" but still make me feel useless.
Like me not being able to read books for long. (A "small thing", but very important to me.)
And me not being able to REMEMBER and UNDERSTAND things; as easily as before.
I used to have almost "idetic memory" and I guess it made me take it for granted .
(I know... such small things), compared to others...; but still a part of my identity.
Stay strong ❤
The strength to stick with not only one another but to support each other like this is amazing. True love 100%
Definition of LOVE, period!! I hope to find this one day. You two go together like peas and carrots 😁😂🥰👣
@kittytonic87 what an absolute PROJECTION. Gross.
@@kittytonic87it's also pretty funny that you're talking shit but you literally steal content.
@@hippychick420 I'm not sure who's deleting my comments, but I can't have my say so towards people like you, who believes that contents are being stolen without looking into it. You're a joke and a pothead goodbye.
@@hippychick420 talking about I steal content which I don't because those videos are mines I just decided to cover my TikTok username because it's my username and i wanted private, but if you want it then I'll happily give you my tiktok, but hey at least I don't smoke and I have no reason to steal content. ✌🏼
WHOOP WHOOP. ADAM IS AMAZING AND I LOVE WHEN HE IS IN YOUR VIDEOS.
We love adam
Same. There's such a wonderful balance between them. I also enjoy that it's so obvious how much they love each other. ❤
@nolly7308 and they TOTALLY belong with each other. I can't put into words how they are the total perfect couple. People have good and bad days, but it's how you grow from them that really count.
@@ebonyperkins4129so true
I'm so glad to hear that Adam is back on the road to wellness! My husband had a horrible car accident in 2003 when he was hit head on by a drunk driver. It really changed our world in an instant so I do understand what you went through. My husband eventually got much better. He had to walk with a cane for the rest of his life but at least he got his quality of life back. I lost him to a heart attack in 2021. He was 68 years old. You guys are a lot younger than my husband and I so you have many more happy years to spend together. Adam and Celina, you're such a cute and sweet couple! Enjoy every second of your beautiful life together! ❤
I'm so sorry for the loss of your husband may he rest in peace and you have gained a guardian angel looking over you. ❤😊
🤗
So much love to you Leigh 💕💕💕
I'm so glad that Adam's feeling so much better! When you guys said that he was doing better in the podcast, I couldn't stop smiling. I'm so glad that he really is feeling mostly better, even if he's not at 100% like he used to be. I love you both, and Taylor, ofc. Thanks for all the smiles.
Hearing Adam being able to talk in a loud voice at the end of the video, seeing him be able to do simple things that aren't all that simple when you think about it (accessing words and thoughts is so difficult and takes so much power from our brains, but most of us don't even think twice about it, because most of us never have our brains struggle like that), hearing how he progressed since the last video... I'm not gunna lie. I cried. Especially at the fun banter at the end. The giggles, the happiness radiating off of the both of you, the way you both play so well into one another, it's easy to see that you are, in fact, true soulmates. I'm sending you guys all the good vibes I possibly can.
People don't understand these things until they live it or see it. To many, this video will look like something simple. Hearing the progress he's made will sound, to a lot of people, like minimal strides, like nothing to celebrate. Screw that. Celebrate every victory, even if we see it as a small one or a large one! Brains are so fragile, considering that our entire beings rely on them. Every breath is worth celebrating, every movement, every sound, every word, every blink of one's eyes, all of it. Life is worth celebrating and I'm so overwhelmingly happy that the both of you get to celebrate something so priceless. 💙
💚💚💚
Blessed Be! ✨
I love this so much. Dr. Fong, Dr. Budohoski, Dr. Grande, all the Dr's and neurosurgeons there are absolutely incredible! Absolute miracle workers! I am so happy Adam was able to get into their program and that it was successful. I am so happy to see Adam doing so much better! You both are amazing people!
Thank you for commenting this. I start my treatment there on Monday and I’m so anxious about it
@RoboRoku the anxiety is absolutely normal. You are in the best hands you can be! I had a brain aneurysm in June. I was there for 3 weeks, and at my 6 week check up, my surgeon said I'm 18 months ahead of most people who've been through my situation. UofU is the best imo.
Where do i look? I am in desperate need@RoboRoku
It crazy how he looks at Celina with so much love and they talk with so so much patient with each other and with this heavy issue. I love them so much for so many reasons, one of them is that they love each other no matter the argument or the hard time they have, I admire them for that
You can tell he’s better by the look in his eyes when he asked for “Help!” at the end there 🤣❤️❤️
13:07 Adam says "but we're here now" followed by a smile...you two warm my heart ❤️
The healthier Adam becomes & is able to express his true self, the more I understand how he & Celina are connected
right? His eyes are so much brighter and so much more alive, he looks so much better than a few years ago when we saw him for brief glimpses in some shorts. I am so happy he is feeling so much better.
I just want to point out through out the whole video you can see Adam looking at Celina full of love for her. It's amazing to see.
“It’s crazy how simple things will make you happy after trauma like that.” -Adam
As a fellow person with brain injury (stroke), 💯 this!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Truth, strokes here! 💪
@@DorkThinklove and strength to you!
I wrote a blog over ten years ago saying the same thing. My illness has made me realize how the small things are truly the great and giant things in life. It really makes you appreciate life and all the ups and downs.
Multiple concussions here. It’s *rough* but holy shit, this is amazing.
Multiple concussions here. It’s *rough* but holy shit, this is amazing.
Adam is present here❤it’s so obvious in other videos how away he was but now he’s here. Aside from the podcast, and even then, this is the most he’s really talked to us ❤
Chronic pain can put you in such a depression, going to bed in pain and waking up in pain can put you in such a dark place. I'm so glad you were able to find some relief and escape the bonds and chains of pain.
Seen Adam smiling, in a relaxed posture, speaking fluently is like getting to see a younger version of him but back to real time which is today. Celina, you pulled through and now both get to enjoy a happy life kinda back to normal. Blessings and good vibes your way.
Hey! Hi! What's up!?
Not an avid youtuber, & don't have tiktok... but I DO have manic depression & untreated adhd, am struggling with the recent, unexpected loss of my father, an unwell mother, & I just got hit with covid for the new year...
Needless to say I needed some little distractions - so here we are
I was going down some silly, spooky rabbithole the other day...
Came for the sleepfarts & stayed for the ghost hunting & good energy.
One of my favorite things so far has been your husband on the couch through many of your sleepwalking videos; so last night when I saw your video about Adam's injury, it hurt my heart as you spoke about him & the ordeal you've both been living through.
I, too, have an Adam (really, my partners name is Adam) & couldn't imagine him in such a state.
Today when I was looking for something to distract myself, I saw there was an update on you both!
To tell you, I cried such happy tears for you strangers who feel like friends already!
Please continue to take steps to heal your souls, hearts, minds, & enjoy every moment of your beautiful lives together 🥰
Somebody in Queens wishes you all the best this 2024.
💕 Mia (& Adam)
Thank you hope your are doing well😁
Adam it was a true delight to meet you! The candle is still burning in my home for you both. I’m loving seeing this answered prayer! Thank you for introducing your husband to us Celina! Bright blessings and love ❤️
I remember whenever she asked for prayers for Adam. She's such a selfless soul ❤ and that reflected her love for him to the universe. I'm so happy for them both and for people like you who help spread love. ❤ Bless you, friend! ❤
I love that Adam sees the gift in this. You either go through something like this and come out better or bitter.
Being someone who suffered a TBI and my husband getting super frustrated with me because I couldn’t do it all was hard. Here I am 10 years later and still have my battles, you guys are right it totally changes your outlook on life. It redirects your attention to what is needed and not so much on the superficial stuff. I have loved watching you guys journey.
I’m sorry that’s been your experience. Don’t have a TMI myself, just ADD and suspected Autism, and a husband who doesn’t understand and gets frustrated. It’s a lonely feeling.
As someone who had a double skull fracture,the 2nd one from a bad car accident,I've accepted I can't be who I was before the accident,but I'm okay with who I am now. I'm so happy for you Adam and how far you've come in the recovery process..Sending you both Lots of love❤
Sending you tons of love ❤
as someone who lives with constant chemical imbalance in my brain and ALSO got diagnosed with ME/CFS as late as February this year (2023) and I'm not even 30 yet... I can vouch for our neurological parts being a *damn* mystery... It is so painful to not feel fully yourself or in full control of your own body and health... I feel for the both of you and I am beyond happy for the both of you, about this amazing progress! What a fighter spirit you guys have! An inspiration to others who might struggle too... I wish more people had the courage you guys have had, to share stuff like this. To remind people, we're only human, and it's okay to not always be okay. Much much love to you all ❤❤
He has SO much patience for her 😅 Like he doesn’t even mind when she talks over him or tells *his* story *FOR* him while he’s trying to do it. Now THAT’S *true* love 💖💝
I can see in Adams eyes that he is “There”. :) I cried happy tears. I’m so happy you have your Adam back Celina. Not all of us have a Happy Ending. You guys deserve it. Much love ❤️
SO SO HAPPY YOU MADE THIS VIDEO! ADAM LOOKS FULL OF LIFE FOR REAL AND I CAN TELL YOU ARE SO PROUD OF HIM! WE ARE ALL PROUD OF HIM AND YOU TOO FOR GETTING WHERE YOU ARE TODAY! CHEERS!!! 🎉
Holy crap….. We NEVER KNEW ADAM! He’s an entirely different person. It’s so sad to feel like he had an experience that ended up feeling like locked in syndrome, because of how sensitive his brain was.
Thank God you put everything in the hands of the right people who were able to help him. You guys are a beautiful couple. Celina, you are strong as all hell girlfriend🎉. True Love right there ❤. I’m so proud of you both😊
Celina, Adam, so happy for both of you and your laughter and love towards each other throughout the years I’ve watched you, and I’m so happy we can see you guys in an even happier and healthier version. So happy for you guys!!!!❤
Celina
Not Selena
@@strawbear2010 thanks my bad lol 😅
I’m so happy seeing Adam’s recovery. I love this so much.
"I don't want to go through Life without some sort of tragedy."
Spot. On.
I recently held my 8 year old as they sobbed and said "it feels like half my heart is gone," after they lost their very favorite stuffy.
I cried and said "we truly appreciate light when we know darkness."
Thank you for sharing. Thank you for being real. Its refreshing to see creators sharing the pimples, farts and brain injuries and not just the super polished, filtered stuff.
It’s so amazing to be able to see Adam speak clearly and laugh with you❤I’m so happy for you guys I’ve been following this journey for the past few years and have seen how much you’ve been struggling. Wishing you guys nothing but the best 😊
I seriously noticed the difference RIGHT AWAY! I put on the video to fold laundry while I listen, I wasn’t looking but when I heard Adam talking so well,I looked immediately! his voice was strong! And spoke so confidently! I’m so so happy you guys got through this! Sending allllll the love!
Hi Celina and Adam, This will be a long post. First off, I just found your channel a month ago. Watching your video describing Adam's injury and struggles with day to day life hit me hard. Although I didn't have a brain injury, many of your struggles Adam I am living today and have lived with since 1989. I have been dealing with inflammatory poly Arthritis, chronic pain, heart issues, kidney issues, I am dealing with 4 syndromes. Anyone dealing with a syndrome knows there is no cure for the disease/syndrome you have. You try to learn to live with the symptoms best you can. To say it has been a long haul is an understatement. I'm a 61 year old proud card carrying Butch lesbian. To become a shut-in of sorts and not be able to do the every day activities is hard to handle.I have NEVER got to the end of the day and all of a sudden realized that nothing hurt on my body today. I have no idea what that feels like to not have a part of my body not hurt. It's like the pain now defines who I am, my story begins with I live with constant pain. It's difficult to not be able to have one health issue get cleared up, you have two new health issues pop up. It is exhausting. I haven't been able to sleep in a regular flat bed since 2013. I sleep in a old lazy boy chair, i'm always in a L position. There are times that I would love to be able to roll over on my side and stretch out, but I remember that I'm in my chair and can't. I know not getting more than a couple of hours of sleep a night isn't helping my health issues. I can't afford an adjustable bed so you deal with what you have. That is the thing about having these issues, you deal with them the best way you know how. I truly believe Celina and Adam having a loving partner stand with you and support you helped you to get where you are today health wise. The antidote to chaos and pain is love . I have not been partnered up since 2007, that is a long ass time to be alone. I'm still able to do some volunteering at my local Hospice but even that is becoming difficult to continue. I have now decided to look into MAID (Medical assistance in dying) Quality of life is not there, loneliness has crept in and quite frankly, I have had my fill dealing with the Ontario medical system BS. I know Celina you don't usually read your comments and this is an older post of yours. I apologize for the long post, I don't have a youtube channel and or a platform to voice my thoughts. I wanted to thank you for your videos, they make me laugh at 3 am when I'm in pain and can't sleep. I hope maybe someone will read this and some how reach out to you Celina to direct you to read this post. Hearing Adam is doing better is very inspiring and no one is more happier for you Adam then I. I hope your health continues to improve and that maybe one day you are at the 100% old Adam. If anyone knows Kallmekris let her know I want to thank her for introducing me to Celina, you two ladies make me proud to be Canadian. Love Kim Antoine
I’m so appreciative that y’all shared this video. Not only did I get to know Adam…. I feel like I got to know Celina on a different level. Much love light and good vibes 💜
I remember when my boyfriend got in a head trauma accident, he wasn’t himself for months. It’s scary as hell, and I’m glad you guys made it through 5 years.
16:44 Adam is 100% right here - the best kind of people are the ones who have suffered most because they became spiritually enlightened ❤ through their experiences and through their pain - the ones who have endured the most and came out of it better are always the best kind of people ❤
The way this video made me cry. It’s so refreshing to see the genuine love in both of their eyes. The genuine care and gratitude. The way Celina and Adam love each other is oh so precious, it’s something I want to find. I’m so happy Adam is doing so much better, I really am
Awww I remember the video you made saying Adam was going away for awhile for treatment and seeing this now makes me so happy! I love Adams energy and presence in your videos so I can’t wait for upcoming content. So happy for you Adam and Celina!
It is so cool to see Adam so clear, engaged, and bright. So happy for you!!!
It is crazy how much I relate to Adam’s experience. The last 2 years have been almost exactly like that for me. And the frustrating thing is no Dr can tell me why.. I’m sure my partner relates so much to Celina. But I am recovering and becoming myself more and more every day.. and when I have set backs it’s just a reminder that I have to change things and I can’t give up.. thank you both so much for sharing this 😭🖤 it truly gives me hope
i’m so glad you are recovering, no matter how slowly, i’m glad you are feeling more yourself and i hope recovery continues to go well for you !
I hope you continue to recover! Being sick is so hard, and sometimes getting better is even harder. I'm glad you've got someone by your side through it all. I will keep you in my thoughts. 💚
So glad he is recovering!! I had a gardening accident that resulted in a traumatic brain injury last year on a saturday. I also kept working and doing all the things and had to go to the ER on Monday. It's a long struggle and I totally get the fear of reinjury. One thing I've learned though, as mental therapy was required by my team, that you can't beat yourself up on the "well maybe it wouldn't have been so bad had I...." the frustration of not meeting my own expectations has been the worst. Also as a single working person it's been infuriating! So much to do, so many bills and being a nurse has not helped. You would think it would, but we are stubborn people 😂. It's definitely crazy how you can be "fine" and then boom! One step forward and two steps back! He definitely explains it well and I'm sorry it happened but it's nice to hear I'm not crazy (the docs tell me, but ya know). Sorry, didn't mean to go off. Much love to you guys!!
As the mom of a TBI person, thanks for shining a light on this condition. My son's damage should have been much more apparent than yours, open head trauma/ closed head trauma, but brain damage is brain damage, available rehap improvements aside. Please don't ever think you're 100% because this type of injury has an ugly habit of throwing kinks in at odd times. My son was injured in 1984, and things come up to this day.
I love you guys because you never shy away from the hard topics but continue to maintain you awesome sense of humor. I want to adopt you as my grandchildren!
We’ve always been in love with Adam because he is a part other & you can’t have Celine without Adam & vice versa. Stay real we love you guys ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I was watching before Adam had his accident, and you can definitely tell that he is more like his old self than he has been in a very long time. You can see the light, the life in his eyes. It beautiful. I'm so happy for both of them. I'm happy Celina stood by him. Not all of us were as lucky in that sense. So, congratulations, and it's great to see both of you being so happy and healthy! ❤
This hit home for me because I have a bad spine from a car accident and child birth & a botched epidural and I started doing very low impact work outs like yoga and easy stuff I learned in my gymnastic days stretching and conditioning and I lost 50 pounds and was mentally and physically the best I could be even though I was still in chronic pain it gave me hope that maybe strengthening anything I could would allow me to have some quality of life and then one day my low back started to hurt so bad I couldn't stand up long and started have to spend more and more time in bed and losing more and more independence and losing all quality of life. I'm bedbound and can't even get my insurance to pay for an mri when I can't even wipe myself or shower or move without help and they expect me to go do therapy I can not do again ...so I have to be in my bed 24/7 and watching each day pass with no improvement because I need surgery and medication for pain that no one wants to prescribe because I'm "too young". I'm 37. I've been in chronic pain since age 14 and it's gotten so bad that I've literally planned my unaliving every way possible but I somehow have to keep going and have faith that God's got His reasons and timing. I just wish to be independent so badly so I can enjoy time with my son and be able to spend time with and eventually care for my parents. I'm glad he's better! ❤ I pray I can get out of this time and into a better chapter in life where I can look back on it and just be grateful i made it out and proud of myself for being so strong.❤
🙏🙏🙏
I remember sitting and immediately watching that video once I got the notification. That was one of the videos where I said WOAH! My husband had a traumatic brain injury, and a spinal cord injury. It happened while I was pregnant with his son. Our son will be 8 in 3 days and my husband is still very much injured 8 & 1/2 years later. Our marriage was very rocky for a while there. I could only imagine the conversations you've both had to have. Thank you for this COMPLETELY AWESOME UPDATE!!! Y'ALL HAVE B BEEN IN OR PRAYERS FOR SO MANY YEARS THAT I DON'T THINK WE WILL STOP BECAUSE (ooops) our son says, and watch over spooky boo & Spooky Adam LMBO. He's silly. But My husband sends Adam positive energy and great vibes! We love you guys.❤
One of my absolute favorite things about you Celina is the depth of sincerity and love and kindness you have for people when you really become vulnerable and open about some of the more serious stuff in your life. My emotions were all over the place throughout this entire video but by the end I was nothing but smiles because of the happiness and positivity the two of you exude over, not just all that you have battled and triumphed to get to this point, but for the ongoing journey that's to always to come. I'm so glad Adam is better, still getting better with each new day, and I cannot wait to see more of him in your videos and the light that he'll bring to your adventures. LET'S GO FAM!
Wow, as someone who went through a lot as a kid, Adam summed up the benefits of “going through tragedy” in a way I never could. I have never heard it put into words the way he articulated. It sounds strange to say there are benefits of tragedy, but there can be. Celina, you’re right, he is wicked smart.
My thyroid stopped working when I was 26 years old. I was so sick for about 2 years. I understood this video so deeply it hit my soul. Obviously a head injury and thryroid is two completely different things but being sick and miserable is the same. So glad to see him feeling better. Love you guys.
Me too. Mine happened around 20 and I am 30, still not the same person I was before. Most people don't understand either
I didn't read the title first and when he came on screen I audibly said "Oooh! He is GLOWING!" Like he looks sooo goooooood! It's wild how him feeling better is just radiating out of him now. Love yall bunches, hope everything continues to improve 💜💜💜
I am here from watching your “funny sleep walking” videos, then I watched your first video about the concussion and I cried cried cried. That helpless feeling when the person you love is recovering from a brain injury/concussion is horrible. My husband was in a car accident and had a concussion with less severe impacts, but it was so difficult to see him like that. To look to the person who helps me make life decisions…. And not have him. I remember crying while i hugged him….crying all night in bed… and he didn’t even process it. It was so hard… 😢. For him it’s even harder… and he felt so inhibited for so long…. So much less like himself and had so much trouble sleeping. Y’all have been through even more. My husband is so much better now, and I’m glad to see your husband getting better too.
The world tells us we have to push, push, push, and work through the pain. But all we are doing is hurting ourselves. And after I got injured, it felt like no one cares unless it happens to them. I'm glad y'all are in a better place. Much love to you and the animals ❤❤❤
I couldn’t imagine what you and Adam went through the past five years and I know this video isn’t even a small glimpse into it. What I do know is that I’m extremely proud of Adam and the work that he has put in to get to where he is today. I know it wasn’t easy but he did it. I am so glad that he didn’t have to do it alone either. This marriage is the true definition of “in sickness and in health”. Celina & Adam I am so glad that the two of you have each other. The true definition of love, respect and admiration for each other is something truly special. Adam I look forward to hopefully see you in more videos. You are two extraordinarily special human beings.
We love the glimpses of Adam in your videos, your banter together is just... Goals. It's so good to see him starting to feel so much better, starting to reap the benefits of all the hard work he put into getting diagnosed and treated. Head injuries are no joke. It's so scary how you go from feeling fine to suddenly puking or passing out or are rushed to the ER for treatment. Then the lasting effects of TBIs, both physically and mentally. Ya'll fought hard and suported each other through it and Adam, you look so much brighter and comfortable now. It's so hard to adjust to chronic illness but you did and are continuing to do so and it takes a lot of determination to do that. So keep going. Ya'll are amazing ppl and show how much support is so very needed in recovery.
I saw the video title and I started bawling already. I’m so happy for you, Adam. Congratulations on your recovery.
I’ve never been so early!
We love you guys! So happy for you!💕
As a daughter whose dad had a neurological issue(stroke) and everything went back to completely normal, I am so happy to see Adam healthy!
My husband had a metal toolbox dropped on his head out of the cockpit of a c130. That started an onset “the beginning of the end” then his best buddy commit suicide & coupled with his combat PTSD. We too struggled immensely with people talking to me about my husband “lacking motivation” or saying “why not” - it got to a point where we just cut out people as self preservation. I was so protective of him as well. I know the trauma Cecelia felt as she stares off recalling those dark times. My heart knows your experience. I have so much love for y’all and am so happy for the update.
I’m not even a crier but I did start tearing up because Adam has made it so far and I’m so happy him and Celina have each other back again. Okay, it’s more than tearing up now. Congratulations 🎈 🖤 🪴
OMG, Adam has the loveliest smile. I think this was the first time I’ve seen the smiles that light up his face. I am so overjoyed for you both. Continued health for both of you 💜
The moment with George the pimple, I see a tiiiiiny window into their love, and I see how hard this has been on them but I'm beyond inspired by Adam and Celina, their relationship and how they make each other better people.
Oh my goodness. First let me say I had no clue about Adam’s injury and I am so happy that he is getting better and has come a long way. Second, the moment Celina mentioned the lid on the water bottle the look on her face brought me to tears. Seeing the look on her face remembering that moment was heartbreaking. ❤
Seeing this HUGE change in Adam's life and behaviour is so so amazing.
He went from just staring at you, then walk away, and you looked like about to cry but didn't, you kept laughing, trying to get him out of that state, trying to heal him, while suffering a ton of pain on the inside, and for that, you have all my deepest respect, Celina.
You're truly a warrior, fighting the way you did for five whole years for him, goes to show the inmense amount of love you have for Adam.
Now he's back, with you, with us, laughing again, cracking jokes with you (even with that pokerface of his) feeling better and better every day.
I love you both so so much, Boos 💕
Talk about the wedding vows, sickness and health! You were put through the test of what love really is! It's not just a feeling, it's how you deal with the situation. I'm not subscribed to you, I just ran across your video! What a testimony of strength and patience and love you have for each other😭!
It really puts in perspective how lucky I am to be able to do the simple things like playing with my dog, listening to music, enjoy the sun shining on my face, to think of not being able to do that sort of thing is honestly mind blowing! So happy for you Adam that you are able to experience those simple good things again, I hope you can experience even more great things then you thought possible! And Celina you are such an amazing soul and I’m so glad you are who you are as you and your videos have made me feel better in darker times! Sending lots of love to you both 💕💕
I'm just some internet stranger who has only been here a few months.
But I am so happy for you both! And I wish you both continue to heal while growing stronger. May your love only deepen.
If by chance you happen to read this I hope you both will accept virtual hugs from an internet stranger 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Edit: I was put into a medically induced coma for six weeks. (Long story) But now I'm GRATEFUL for absolutely everything. Even the pillow under my head. I imagine that is part of the way you both must feel.
Yes! Adam has always struck me as a very intelligent person. I'm not sure what exactly it was that made me think that, but he seemed to be very sharp despite his injury.
I am so happy to hear he's doing better. You two are lovely people and deserve nothing but joy. Best wishes from a fellow Ontarian!
We love you Celina boo! I’m so happy :)
This was so cool to watch. I had a head injury (I've had two, one TBI) in 2021 and I experienced the cognitive struggles of finding words and feeling over stimulated. I was in a mountain biking accident. I think it also changed my personality! It really is a hidden disease that the world has no idea unless you've experienced it yourself. And for your loved ones it's also so freaken hard. I found this video very validating. Plus I love your faces. You're definitely people I would hang out with 😅. Anyway so happy for you both and you deserve the best.
Not a disease, but definitely dis-ease.
You two give me hope that soulmates are still real in this messed up world we live in! It’s so good to see both of you doing so much better 💛💛
CELINA THIS IS GREAT, IM SO PROUD OF YOU ALL!!!!!!! I cried watching this, i'm so glad he recovered
I've got autoimmune issues out the wazoo, and I remember being in that position of not wanting to live a life where I couldn't make it down the block to walk my dog. Lost all my hobbies of outdoor sports, gardening, everything like that because my mobility was so limited and it caused me so much pain. When I started infusion immunosuppressants my whole life changed, all the sudden I could mow my lawn and I freaking loved it. Things aren't perfect, I still deal with chronic pain and nerve and muscle and joint stuff, but I at least feel more capable of moving through it and whatever comes in the future because I know I got through a point in my life where I was basically bedridden in my 20s.
So so happy for you two ❤
Yay! Way to go Adam! I have a chronic illness, for a good 7 years I was not me at all! I’m getting better everyday and I’m soooo glad to see you are too.
Much love to you both, you make me laugh till I pee 😂❤
I’m so happy that Adam is feeling so much better. So much love to you Celina and Adam. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
One of my sons has a traumatic brain injury and an awesome dr explained that your brain injury never actually heals. You can be better, but one day down the road it can just pop back in!
A study he showed me suggested CbD oil actually heals TBI and after a week of using the oil my son had massive improvement!
Its so amazing to finally REALLY see a bigger part of Adams real personality and hes such a cool dude
That’s so GREAT!!! The smiles the clear eyes … the not having the look of pain and misery on his face!!! Been in that headache boat for a LONG time….. I’m so happy to see the happiness in your journey!!! Good JOB!!!
"bloom where you're planted" and "without the bitter the sweet isn't as sweet" are my two life motos since my brain injury, I know what you mean Adam. Adam looks like a new guy, he sounds great and it's so awesome to see him so much more animated.
I have epilepsy and I really feel what you're saying. People always say "well you don't look disabled" but it's like thanks bud, I still can't go to the movies, spend extended periods of time under florescent lights, eat certain foods or smell certain smells or my brain electrocutes itself. But at least I don't look disabled?
If I'm ever in the position financially, I will definitely be starting a not for profit for others struggling to get the help they need with their brain injury journey.
YES! Adam is a Led Head?!! That's awesome! The two of you are so authentic, so relatable. The vibes, and energy from you is 100% positive, and pure. Being a person with Multiple Sclerosis, Adam inspires me. I do understand what he went through, MS deteriorates part of the brain, making it hard to do, concentrate, move. I'm very proud of the both of you.
I’m absolutely thrilled for you both! I suffer from chronic pain, and a TBI, and I know the toll it takes on myself and my people. It really can’t be explained or understood well, unless you have lived it. And I hope no one ever has to live it. I was saddened when you made your post about what happened to Adam. This is just a miracle, and such a blessing from the universe. You both deserve it. You can see in his eyes how much better he feels, and it’s just a joy to witness!
My dad fell off a ladder and had a tbi a few years before he died and it changed him so much, it was really hard on this man that was always such a superman who could do everything and then suddenly couldn't. It was hard to watch him go through that. A few years later he had an aneurysm and ended up in the hospital for a week, but ultimately lost his battle at 66. He will always be my super hero though, even with the tbi he was the most amazing man I have ever known! I was so lucky to have had him as my dad! I'm so glad that Adam is doing so much better!
Love you Celina and Adam 🩷
I can't even explain how much I respect your journey together! I hope y'all are doing amazing and continue to have a happy and long life together
Welcome back Adam, I love you guys, when you sit down and just talk so openly and honestly, it makes you appreciate life and all it has to offer.
I feel all of this video so hard. I am a TBI survivor and it is a very long hard journey and I am so so happy for you guys. It is absolutely wonderful that Adam is doing so well. You guys deserve the world ❤
The fact that you both have the courage to share this with the world is amazing. I'm SO ready to see more of Adam!!! So glad he's by your side!! 🥰
I am so thankful to see life back in Adam's eyes! The more he heals, the more prominent your connection is for all of us to see and it is absolutely beautiful! 🥰
Adam, good to know that Celina's best support and frequent head shaking, eye roller witness to her antics is feeling yourself again. I knew you would get just by the T-shirt collection you've graced us with. Happy for you Celina. Your yin got it's yang back.☯
Wow Adam, you really look and sound great. As someone with chronic illness, it’s so hard to continue to fight, it’s so easy to just curl up into the darkness forever. So you deserve serious praise for continuing to fight for answers and treatment. You and Celina are such a beautiful couple, the strength it takes to stay when your person is no longer your person, is enormous. Sending you both so much love and positivity ❤
I have seen it before. My dad had a car wreck when i was 7 and he was never the same afterwards. He had 16 bruises to the brain and had to relearn everything. I went from him wanting to spend time with me to not knowing who I was. So I'm super happy your husband is doing better now. It's a hard road to get through. My parents just celebrated 54 years being married.
How did your family support him / how did he learn things again and work through things once he forgot? … my dad had a brain injury a few years ago and we’re almost pretending it didn’t happen… it did tho. Does he still not know who you are? Also, I’m really sorry for what you want through, and really young too. 🤍
@@emilybelle2951 no he got his memories back after awhile took a few years. It took him a year in the hospital to rehabilitate and relearn everything. He was forced to retire early because when he tried to go back to work at the wastewater plant he couldn't remember his job. I would say just give it time. Could take years.
@@emilybelle2951 i saw my dad the other day. He didn't remember me. Called me my sister's name again. So I guess I don't know that they ever do get fully better after a brain injury.
Not all tragedies end well…I lost my husband when I was 38, but It’s wonderful to see that you are both rising like phenixes out of the ashes. ❤
As someone who has a few diagnoses that make me feel trapped in a body that works but unable to use my body. I understand the feeling of hopelessness and also the feeling of being grateful for the tiniest things people don’t even notice like the warm breeze hitting your cheek.
I am so so happy for you both that Adam is doing much better 🙏🏼
It’s such a coïncidence to me that you’re addressing this right now, because I just had a major brain surgery about 1 year ago 😮 I know it’s not exactly the same, but some of it does resonate a lot with me, and just seeing how far you guys have come physically, mentally and in life in general, it gives me so much hope that these symptoms I’m still having will not define me, and There’s still so much I can do ❤ thank you for sharing!
