Lewis' brother brought me to tears. Real men aren't afraid to tell people they love them.
What was he supposed to do? Give him a snake bite and a purple nurple because he’s a man? 😭
That’s real anybody what’s so special about a man telling somebody somebody that they love them I mean, I don’t get that. I don’t give what so special about that.
It's clear that Lewis has a great family and no matter what happens on his future he will be loved and protected, that's wonderful.
I do wonder, tho’, if his parents ever had his behavior investigated. May well have helped his schooling. 😊
My youngest has adhd and autism so I can relate
@@lindaarnold5683ÿ
@@lindaarnold5683if you watched the video, you'd know that they had it investigated and diagnosed
@@SILSAL67 how epuld I “know” that. Diagnosis? Action plan? None of that was evident.

@@MeadowDayHe's uneducated, has no future, no skills and a bit too old to not know what he wants in life

He had me at Shire 😂
Those with autism and adhd fall through the cracks. They are expected to function in a world where they don’t fit. The older they get the expectations rise. There seems to be so much of it all around.
It is indeed very common but that's because it's been a very important part of human evolution. There are many upsides to both. Both autism and ADHD are a spectrum and most people can deal with it fairly well but every spectrum has extremes and those people unfortunately draw the shortest straw. The other thing is that it often presents very differently in men and women. We've all seen the boys who cannot sit still but for many women, it's hyperactive thinking, not hyperactive activity, leaving them trapped in their thoughts with a brain that never stops talking. It's very good that these things exist, some of the best athletes, artists, inventors, doctors, and lawyers are neurodivergent but it's also hard to find your freedom with it in a world full of rules and procedures.
I've noticed this too with my own family
My son has autism and ADHD. My friend, now ex-friend made from of him saying about him flying away to my ex (her uncle). Kids calling him weird and more bullying 😞
Dealing with my own ADHD/Autism Spectrum son. Lewis’s brother brought me to tears. To have a brother who understands him is pure gold. I wish so bad teachers could understand the world my son and Lewis live in.
I was a specialist teacher autism and behavioural difficulties was my specialty. Those kids were my angels. I miss them even now years later. They are amazing. They just need to find what they love
Motorcycle accidents are harrowing for everyone. The human body was never meant to be slammed onto the pavement at high speed, or into a car or truck at high speed. Motorcycles are a horrorfest on wheels.
Doctors here call them "donorcycles" or "suicycles". There's literally nothing between you and asphalt at 80 mph.
Yes... My chiropractor's son died in a motorcycle accident just after graduating high school. Two years later she couldn't cope and committed suicide. Two lives gone too soon.
@@ksierra4444Oh that is so sad 😞 One of my best friends from high school lost his dad from a motorcycle accident, he was only 16 when it happened. I just remember how deep of a depression he went through. Thankfully he worked through it but for some it’s just too much pain. Hugs and prayers to all who have lost someone too soon❤
I've lost a niece and a nephew to separate motor cycle accidents
i lost my dad to a motorcycle accident when i was 11
As someone who survived what my Doctors said was ‘unsurvivable’, I can assure you that no one who finds themselves in these situations woke up that morning thinking ‘well today is my day to die’. I’m just exceptionally thankful to the 4 Paramedics who kept me alive for the 80 or so miles during Friday rush hour traffic in ATLANTA. I knew I was dying, asked them to tell my loved ones goodbye for me and that I loved them, they said no that they wouldn’t give up and they didn’t, the original two even stopped at a Fire station in another county to pick up additional paramedics to manage that. Then the excellent staff in Grady’s Trauma Center, and the ICU staff and Doctors.
But most importantly God saved you! By guiding the hands of those who cared for you!❤
@@angiepayne9790 no there was no Most importantly. Without God, I would absolutely positively be dead. He was with me every step of the way
What happened to u?
I get it oct 19th 2023 I passed out at home the dog woke my husband up who then got me up and rushed me to the hospital where I just stopped breathing I layed in icu for 11 days the first 8 or so they didn't think I would make it told my family to say their goodbyes but wasn't my time I eokr up got better and came home! If I didn't believe b4 I most deff do now God is so good and I'm so thankful to be alive!
Melissa i would love to hear your story please. ❤
Sam was so socialable, making small talk and friends with everyone along the way in A&E.
That's the kind of friendly that gets on your nerves after 15 minutes.
Right, Sam is adorable and charming. I’m sure he’ll find the great woman he’s been waiting for. He’s self aware and endearing!
@@brittaperry7862 Ways to interpret the BIBLE: 5 points of GOSPEL:
- Figurative 1.) Christ died
- Symbolical 2.) for our sins
- Literal 3.) was buried
- Devotional 4.) rose again
- Historical 5.) According to the script.
- Dispensational
GOD`s expectations to us;
- REPENT!
- BORN AGAIN!
- BE HOLY!
- EXPOSE EVIL!
- DO THE WILL OF YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER!
Rather needy I think. They fixed his boo boo with a spot of glue. 😮🙄
Sam was cringy,stroking the back of a girl he didn’t even know.How inappropriate is that.
If you crave adrenaline, instead of doing stunts you can train as a rescue worker. Your tolerance for risk will serve you well, and saving lives will give you the self-worth that is deeply satisfying. Risk with PURPOSE is what gives our lives meaning. ❤
Excellent idea, absolutely ri 47:23 ght! My husband was a police reservist and he craves adrenaline. I made him stop when our first child was born. He needed that outlet but in South Africa now it's impossible. Too much idleness, rule breaking, rude people full of corruption and lack of resources like broken down cars but no one fixes them etc. Sad, but true.
How beautifully said.
showing this to my son, thank you for this. he scares the hell out of me 99.9% of the time
I agree
What a great thing to say I never thought of it that way. 💯
I just love how Sam saw her crying, and made it his whole mission to distract her. I know adrenaline junkies, and a big part of it is the show. The connection, "look at me!", but there is also a big part that screams, "dont do this, youll get hurt, let me be the one to go first".
I’ve never known that to be true. Mostly it’s grandstanding, attention seeking.
No one wants to be distracted from their pain by a gross stranger guy that doesn't understand personal boundaries! Leave the poor woman alone! She was unwell!
I love how James loves his younger brother so much and let’s him know
I love Lewis's Mum's honesty, most mothers tell stories about how good their children are, being so honest, sets you free. ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏
I felt encouraged by Lewis’s Mum. I have a daughter with a disability - I wish I had a magic wand too ❤
@@sandy-ee1ktHi Sandy, praying for healing apon you. May God’s hand give you peace, love & comfort. I have nerve pain disability on back of head causing many migraines and pain, God is helping me day by day. I understand about your disability and my prayers to you 🩷🙏🩷
Hats off to the people who work in the health care, but especially those who work in emergency room and trauma situations.
My son was a problem at school, never focused but was smart. Teachers always complained about him, but he was finally diagnosed with ADHD. Meds helped, but he learned in a complete different way. Nowadays there are so many kids who have autism, adhd, add, etc. that schools and teachers are prepared. My sons school was lousy, and had no clue.
Glad Louis got help then, and when he got hurt.❤
We never did hear if Lewis had any brain injury or not..
He seems pretty good tho, boxing with his cool bro James! I'm glad he seems to realize how "lucky" he is, in many ways. May the good Lord bless him, 🙏 and help him discover better ways of dealing with his feelings ❣️
I was born with short of oxygen,i needed more help in school than others,but for my family i allways been a problemchild ' i wish i had a family like Lewis
Yeah, I was born with a bunch of problems, and I have ADHD/Autism like him. My mom would shout at me when I had panic attacks, and my sister was always annoyed with me until she realized recently she probably has autism, too. lol I wasn't so much a problem child to other people, but my mom just didn't know what to do with me.
Awww…. You just be yourself hun, ok? I’m sure you are a fine person, so don’t worry about the others, ok? You do & be yourself! 😊😊😊❤❤❤
@@BigGrabowski big hug
@@53mandevilla thank you so much ❤️
You have no idea what a great difference you can make. In the little you write I can feel that you are strong and keen! Hold on and you will meet the persons who don ´t see „a problem“ but a chance or even a blessing! Celebrate every single validation…. and follow the road of those who have the right values…. and you will be surounded by persons who deserve to know you!❤
Sam's an amiable fellow. I hope he finds what he wants to do in life.
I love watching British hospital they are very brilliant nurses and doctors
Lewis has a brain bleed on top of his other serious injuries and there is only one nurse coming in and out to check him?? I can’t watch anymore of these, they are not realistic. There should be a team of trauma specialists in there, his brain bleed needs top priority.
Yes better then America
as an autistic and ADHD person myself the love and everything from lewis' family is amazing. We tend to fall through the cracks and its really hard so lewis having such amazing people made me happy. I grew up in an abusive household and being misunderstood by everyone so seeing this proves there are good people in the world :)
Lewis has a wonderfully understanding, caring family. He had a terrible accident that I'm sure his family got him through. I liked Sam....honest and a free spirit. ❤
Sam, no worries…you will find your place of complete comfort and a job that will sustain you for your one day wife and kids to be 😊 You got this!
When Lewis’s brother James was talking to him, I lost it..just lost it! What brotherly love this is I just witnessed…What love this whole family shares with one another. Beautiful love it is ❤
Sam is so damn cute tbh. ❤ I love how he was being so positive and conversational with the doctors/nurses and other patients. He was so sweet toward that lady with an ear infection. But I hope he finds him his wife and have his family that he hopes to find. And Lewis and his family it’s broke my heart. I was crying for his family and for Lewis. So strong 💪
I'm a teacher who works exclusively with autistic, ADHD, and other kids with spectrun disorders and mental health struggles. It's true, they aren't bad kids. In fact they're my favorite students. Brilliant thinkers, outside of the box. They speak a different language almost. Patience, empathy, and structure are key.
Brought tears to my eyes. I’ve lost cousins, grandparents, and friends. The hardest is being by their side before it happens. Even though being there feels great. One of my best friends died when he was 17 years old in a car crash, I was a year or two younger. I will never forget the day I got the phone call from my mom telling me to come home, and to be careful and we would talk when I got home. He had a twin brother and 2 older brothers. One older brother and his twin were in the car crash when he passed away. I was very close with that family. I went to the hospital after hearing 2 of the brothers were in critical condition and one tragically passed away. The surviving twin was moved from ICU later that day and I was able to speak with him and give him my love. His older brother Jaiden was still very critical. He obtained multiple broken ribs, major concussion, major cuts and abrasions on his body. And underlying brain damage that wasn’t seen. He was medically induced in a coma and I was able to see him for a short period of time 1-2 days after the crash. I was at the hospital every day for about a week after checking in, it was like a second family to me. The older brother was not doing better, his state was deteriorating and they cut off friends from visiting until he was taken out of his induced coma over a month later. He’s made a full recovery to this day aside from some long term brain damage and obviously the emotional trauma.
A couple years had passed and I was now a senior in high school, my graduating class was very small, barely 40 students. I had a great group of friends, every guy in my class had basically been with me since pre school so we all had great relationships. But we decided to start a realm on minecraft. it was so fun, we would spend nights and even school mornings on this realm just wasting hours playing the game creating memories. I remember the last time I played minecraft was with my buddy Nolan, we were up until 3:30 in the morning getting him an elytra in the end. We didn’t have time to get me one so he said we could get one for me the next time we played. I was obviously down since it was late and we always played. A couple weeks had passed and we were graduating, too busy with graduation parties, and spending time with other relatives and family. It was the beginning of June. Just finished high school, it was the day after my girlfriends birthday, we were leaving a campsite we had stayed at for her birthday and i got a call from one of my childhood friends who was in the minecraft realm. he asked me if i was going to the hospital to see nolan and i had no idea what happened until the phone call. my buddy broke the news that he was out with our other buds cruising on the golf carts and he took a hard fall to the ground and was knocked unconscious. they called 911 and when they were able to wake up him he started having a seizure and was throwing up everywhere not sure who or where he was. he was in a coma for about a week before they declared him brain dead. his body passed away a day later. I still to this day go back and listen to his heartbeat they recorded for us when he was in the hospital. It was only a couple years ago so it’s fresh enough for me to look back on and cry.
But this post could be made by a million other people. Freak accidents happen all day every day and it could happen to you or someone you love. You never know the last time you’re gonna be able to tell someone you love them, or hug them, or play minecraft with them. So never take any moment for granted and always be on your toes. Take care of yourselves
I've seen this one ❤ I'm mom to a "Lewis", too ❤ Mine is only ten, though, and, luckily, diagnosed at 3.
Bless him ❤ He has a wonderful family around him, loving and supportive ❤ He'll do well ❤
Lewis as well as my own boy ❤
My youngest is autistic and adhd so I can relate to his mom
Mine is 33 now, was diagnosed at 6. To say it hasn't been easy is an understatement! Like Lewis, Dylan has only known love and support.
Sam would do very well in sales. He has the personality for it because he can talk to anyone .
He's quite good looking
He could sell cigars....
the whole family supporting lewis through his ADD...god the brother had me in tears when he said 'baby boy'
My daughter has Autism and I understand exactly what she is saying and how she feels. My worst fear is what happens to her when my husband and I pass away. It’s something I think about EVERY SINGLE DAY.
I love this show because there is a lot of love and compassion for people still something completely missing in America now days
I so totally agree!
I don't totally agree. Watch some of the UK police videos, and you'll see that the UK 🇬🇧 is very much like the USA 🇺🇸
There are good people in both countries. I was an RN in a trauma center and on a helicopter. I and my colleagues truly loved our patients. I reminisce and pray 🙏 for patients I've had often. ❤
A lot of Americans are dead in the head! Very alarming… 😢😢😢😮😮😮
I believe that in every country you can meet humans full of compassion. But I also think, that it helpes very much when important people - not only the governement - speak out against hate and discrimination as well as FOR the right values. And for our days I see more of that in UK than in USA. But USA is great and there may be states going in the right direction concerning values like compassion and standing with persons in need. ❤
Exactly!
I love the polka-dot receptionists outfits. cheery. so glad lewis made it. poor kid. i have autistic granddaughter & know the pain.
You know what would be really refreshing? If a show like this followed the compassionate treatment with someone with a mental illness. I think there's too much emphasis put on the physical side of things, and then people in general start thinking that mental health issues dont deserve to be treated in an emergent way. The sad truth is, if we continue to pretend that physical health is more important than mental health, we will only succeed in continuing the stigma of the past.
I'm so grateful for musicians like Ren whe refuse to be ashamed and are open and honest.
they have. Several episodes focus on schizophrenic patients, substance abuse patients, bipolar patients etc. etc. This show is literally called 24 hours in accident and emergency. It's a place where catastrophic patients are taken and typically moved onto other areas when they're stabilized.
@@ph4780 thank you so much for telling me! That made my day. :-) I haven't seen a show like cover mental health issues before, and I've been told by many ER staff that I don't deserve their time because I am suicidal. Again, thank you! ♥️
Lewis having to wait so long for a diagnosis, glad he has such a great family
Fell in love with the guy that smoked the cigar, what a hunk, and I am 74,lol
As an SRN who trained in the UK, I loved working in Casualty as we use to call it. Now have lived in Australia since 😢😢 1981 and now retired I still miss my work.
It was called Casualty in Australia in the seventies.
what is SRN, i know registered nurse but what is the S stand for
@@pearlkelly6337 STATE REGISTERED NURSE. UK
It’s going to be a very difficult future for Lewis, all his family members and close friends. Wishing the best and praying for him & all of them. 🙏🙏🙏
I feel for Lewis and his family as a person with adhd our brains don't think normal alot of the time
So nice Sam talking to the other patients so frankly at the waiting room.
Seeing the old people makes me want to cry 😞 I don’t know why but when I see an old person eating alone or something like that it makes me so sad ❤
My younger brother & one of my nieces have ADHD. He drove me nuts. She would talk so fast it took me awhile to catch up on what she was saying. My brother actually earned his Phd in ministry. Took him awhile to get it but he persevered.
I love how the UK 🇬🇧 calls other folks, "darlin, love, and mate." 🇺🇸
Just as I was thinking, "Wow, so much ADHD in this episode!" (Lewis, the Australian kid) Lewis's mum revealed his ADHD diagnosis. Those young folks and their parents have all my empathy. It's not easy.
I have ADHD and autism, and it’s rough to live with these medical problems, and go through the pain every day.
lewis reminds me of myself a lot, it's wonderful to see how much on a lovely family it seems that he has. having family that truly grasps your mental state, thats rare.
For Lewis's sake, I hope he never meets Sam. That would *not* go well.
😅😅😅👏👏👏
Could be interesting 😂
True😂
😂😂😂🎉🎉
I actually think they would be good for each other. Sam would probably see a lot of himself in Lewis, and his natural ability to connect and engage would give Sam a purpose and give Lewis someone who understands.
Lewis brother made me cry and omg the moment i Heard him call Lewis baby boy 😭😭😭😭🥺🥺
Love these series!! I am addicted to watching and praying everyone is ok.
He responds to his mom like night and day compared to his brother. ❤Moms❤ Somebody loves his mum.
Huge sigh of relief when he woke...
Oh Lewis. My 5 year old is an autistic person with ADHD. He's my treasue. Things can be tricky and really hard. Thank goodness for awareness and support. I wish you and your family the best. Maybe you should hang out with Samuel. Nothing is wrong with either of you!
So thankful Lewis survived his horrific accident! I'd love to meet Sam. My son is a lot like him
I have lost two loved ones in motorcycle accidents. One was a new dad of two little ones & the other one was recently, an amazing 17 year old boy (Parker💕). I have a sinking feeling even seeing a motorcycle. 😞
When Jame's brother was talking to him it nearly broke my heart. You can see that Lewis loves him so.
His family has been through so, so much and I can partially rel. My son kind of went through being a lot like James until he hit 15. Suddenly his brain corrected itself, he became a different boy. He still has a tendency towards being easily agitated but he is 43 years old now.
😥
Lewis sounds like a combination of my 3 sons. I love them each so dearly, I could tell that Lewis’s parents feel the same about their sons!
Thank you Banijay for posting these!
My mom fell in her bathroom, lived alone, widow, she shattered her femur & she laid there for 3 days…we did not know 🥺
Finally realized on New Year’s Day that no one has heard from her! Needless to say, her femur cut the circulation to her foot…the tried an external rod…for about 3days, did nothing so they had to put an internal rod from hip to knee! They tried the fascia on her calf…after 2 or 3 days, her calf/foot was rotting…amputation was needed! Thank goodness she was sedated with propofol this entire time!!! It was so traumatic for us standing by, could only imagine her fear!
Needless to say…she was a left BTK amputee, including her left thumb! From New Year’s Day I never went back to work…I took over care of my mama!! She was stronger mentally than all of us! I NEVER seen her cry about her outcome, just with physical pain! As my daughter said, gma is a beast…she can handle anything and SHE DID! I cared for her for 8 years…she has been thru hell & back, multiple times…falling, stroke, broken hip, MANY UTI’s, several transfusions, etc etc…at 82 1/2, this past March she finally found peace! She’s walking with both legs, painfree!, hugging her husband & her daughter(we lost my sister (2018) that was hard on her!
I’m now here alone trying to pick up the pieces! I’ll tell you it’s rough! 24/7, 365 days a year, for 8 years…was everything mama! I’m quite lost now 🥺🥺 I don’t know what to do…I’m 8 years older too! Started with a grief counselor…🥺
God bless you sweet heart. I am SO SORRY!!!! Are you ok now? This day,I mean? I'm all the way in South Africa,but I see nobody replied to your message. If you need to talk, I'm here ...
@@claudettemacioshek2755 awww thank you! I’m not ok! I’ve tried to apply for park we lived in & found out yesterday they denied me! I know why…I haven’t “worked” out of the house for 8yrs…I hardly existed on paper where we moved to 7yrs ago! Even though my brothers offered AND paid for the past few months & said they’d continue but wasn’t good enough 🙄🥺 My mom signed over the home to me but now the hard part is literally emptying EVERYTHING & starting fresh! Which frightens & excites me at the same time! Ughhhh
16:03 just marking where i left off
I was hit by a drunk driver head on driving on the motorway. I was nearly killed but I pulled through thanks to all the great medical staff. It was scary. The part I was most scared about, was the brain injury and internal bleeding.
His brother at his bedside was both heartwarming and painful to watch. Unfortunately, I lost my middle brother when we were kids. There was an accident, I was holding my brother letting him know I was with him. He looked at me in the eyes, gave me a look that wasn’t fear, or pain or panic… it was pure… I guess this sounds corny… but he told me he loves me with his eyes. He closed his eyes and never came back. I was just a boy and he was a year older than me. That moment is seared in my memory. I’ll never forget those ice blue eyes looking into my soul one last time. Great. Now I’m crying. I relate to the pain of family being hurt and/or lost. My family was splintered as a result of my brothers passing. ,y oldest brother had a breakdown and later became rebellious and always in trouble. My mother withdrew from the world and became abusive. My dad just seemed to coast along on auto pilot. As for me. I have problems dealing with his passing in my arms. If I had been there sooner. Maybe I could have stopped anything from happening. I struggle with that memory tattooed on my brain. I have vivid dreams reliving that moment. PTSD when I see a near accident or actual car accident. I miss my brother. His name is Charles and he’s my brother and I hope to see him again one day.
What a beautiful family ! The patients and medical staff are also kind , empathetic to each-other. However my favorite was Mr.Cowboy hat being from Texas i can relate ( especially with my family also being in the medical field ❤️❤️❤️🕊️🤍🙏🏻
The family waiting and waiting, worrying suffers more than the one who's going through the trauma!
Lewis is so Blessed with an awesome loving family. They're who's breaking my heart, his Mum especially.😢
I was diagnosed with ADHD as a child and i definitely know right from wrong...
It's the autism, actually that causes that. You know right from wrong, you just can't choose the right. I know.... cause that's me.
Unfortunately for some with severe adhd, they're impulsive and make snap (wrong) decisions and poor choices. Lewis has autism on top of it all
@@Beepinsqueekin right, I just didn't like that she was blaming every decision he has made on ADHD
@@kr6484 same, especially the “they don’t feel fear” comment, like I and my friends with ADHD diffently feel fear and know right from wrong. The most anxious people I know have ADHD. Like if anything that’s an Autistic trait not an ADHD trait.
My daughter has severe and she thinks nothing serious would happen 😢
Beautiful eyes Sam
I love Lewis' Mom!
Lewis sounds so much like undiagnosed ADHD and/or autism spectrum. I was undiagnosed ADHD until 22 and my son had both diagnoses. Very difficult going through schooling without being understood.
I'm a Sam in South Africa and I'm a British citizen. All Sam's must start a group because we amazing ppl
I always wanted to be a Sam lol Alas, got stuck in the States 😔 Safe travels, friend ❤
@@alison4316 date one
Where are you in SA? We r in Pretoria. My fiance is also ADHD. You two might get along...
My apologies,I am confused as to Sam & the ADHD boy!😂😂😂😂
I feel 100% the way Lewis’ mom does, as I have a teenager that has the same diagnoses. It’s hard for the kids because people just don’t understand them the way we do. He will be in my thoughts for a full recovery from his injuries.
Anyone else felt relieved when Sam left?
I quite like his socialability and ease with talking with people. Seems like he would be a great friend.
I think the one-upmanship would get old.
Being retired from Pediatrics, I’ve had my share of “Lewis’s” to attend to. No matter how bad the injury and no matter the amount of warnings, they’re going to continue down the path. Upon discharge I say “I’ll see you later” and I’m not kidding. They’ll be back 🫤🙄. ADHD can be controlled BUT the patient must be compliant with their medication regimen.
Agree, I worked a pediatric PACU for a couple of yrs.
That made me cry when he spoke to his brother I know for a damn fact that you can hear your family when you’re in a coma or whatever it means the world
Anyone is Lewis' position, getting into racing, motorsport, is an excellent way to get that freedom, while still being somewhat more safe.
Lewis has a amazing family who will do anything to help him thank you to his family nurse doctors and everyone who had apart of his care
We had three boys, when we had to have them tested for adhd, add, ocd, the testing Dr. Watched them for a while and said that even if they were, they were very intelligent and needed to have more stimulating teaching!
This one hit a bit too close too home. In October it will have been four years since we lost my uncle. My dad's identical twin brother. He lived with us for years until his death. He was driving to Belk to get clothes and he turned left at a light and got hit by someone going straight the other direction and it was a terrible accident. When the paramedics arrived they said he smiled at them and immediately went unconscious. They airlifted him to the hospital and he had broken his neck. He was paralyzed from the neck down. That ended up being a blessing in disguise because he had also completely crushed his left foot beyond repair. They had him on life support for two days while family and doctors figured out the next steps. My mom and dad were in the room when they took him off life support two days after the accident. I got to say goodbye though. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I told him I loved him and how much I appreciated him. I called him what I always called him when I was little because I couldn't say his name yet and he winked at me just like he always did. That was all the closure I needed. He heard me. I held the phone while my little sister said goodbye to him not knowing she was pregnant at the time but she just wasn't ready to tell us yet. She wanted so badly to tell him. I can't imagine how hard that was on her. Coming home that day was so hard. Seeing his room with some of the bags from his shopping trip, my dad breaking down, and the house being so quiet. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. My dad took down all the mirrors in the house because he thought it was him every time he walked by one. It was so unfair. I wasn't ready to lose him. I don't harbor any hate for the guy that hit him but I don't forgive him either. He has no idea what he stole from us. I love you, Uncle Rocky. I'll miss you until the end of time. You were the best partner in crime a niece could ever ask for. Give em hell up there 🩷
To lewis family. I've got a son with the same thing. Be strong. Praying for you and your family. 47:04
I have ADHD… it made the world harder, but it certainly wasn’t a handicap. It is not. The mum makes us all sound crazy, but we are a creative, wonderful and a bit off-kilter in a wonderful way. Lewis has his demons for sure, but so does every single other human out there. I was born in the early 70s, so my condition was almost unheard of then. In fact, the only person I’d ever known with ADHD was my best friend’s little brother. He was never around us though so I’d only met him a couple times. When I was formally diagnosed at 34, soooo much made sense. Please don’t continue to scare people about ADHD. There are many medications out there that work brilliantly. I wouldn’t want to give mine up - it makes me more empathetic and kinder to those around me.
Having a daughter with ADHD I agree with you. She is now 30 & yes definitely different. But different in the most loving, kind way possible. She has done so much, worked with kids with HIV in her teens. Went to Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand & the Philippines in her early twenties as a missionary. She is now happily married to a wonderful man. ❤
I have a 51 year old ADHD husband and a 16 year old AUDHD daughter.
They are who they are, I have learned to do better by them help them.
The world is harder for my daughter than my husband as he does not have the rigidity that Autism can bring.
Its still a disability, as without help and medicine she cannot cope.
She made a lot of excuses for his poor behavior. ADHD isn’t a reason to be a jerk.
Agreed but at times we can be crazy at times
I have ADHD,so does my son.What people don’t know,is that ADHD,is closely affiliated to Autism,these young people need a lot of supervision when young,shown how to deal with Tantrumming and enormous anxiety,they don’t need to lead reckless lives. They do need dedicated parent/s Teacher’s and Psychologists,sometimes,there are side effects including Bi-Polar disorder.
The most understanding person in that family of the young man with serious injuries,is his brother.
My son,whom I dedicated myself too,is now married and has a great career in Information Technology.The nurse saying,that grown kids should be allowed to make their own decisions,you can’t with serious ADHD,until they learn how to cope with life.example,young man with brain injury riding a motorbike and driving cars with no licence!! Look for as many resources as possible and DON’T GIVE UP ON THEM!! ♥️🇨🇦
Sam looks much better with the tooth fixed... cracked me up that it was a 15 year old loss though 😂
My adhd is under medication for a yr now. I didn't realize how exhausting it is to be me and to be around me. I never was mischievous but I'm almost 50 and i run on high octane even in my sleep. I felt crazy and alone. Finally can sit thru a show now. Its hard to have adhd with autism.
Your femur is the worst of pains...it's a big bone and hurts like the devil...good job, Lewis
Thank you for your services nurses and doctors keep up the great work ✌️🙏
How sad that Lewis didn't get mental help - his life has been one cry for help after another.
God bless these amazing nurses and doctors who truly make a difference in peoples’ lives everyday! 🥰🇨🇦🙏🏻
Man, the not understanding morals part didn't really add up to me, and based on what the mom's said, I wouldn't be surprised if Lewis also has bipolar disorder, because some of the symptoms did sound like manic episodes to me. But man, him wondering why he's different, reminds me of myself but in a different way, I was always quite chill and kept to myself but also felt so different from everyone else and afraid to talk about my interests for fear of being seen as weird. Turns out my parents and teachers suspected I had aspergers (or level 1 autism nowadays) and I only started suspecting it myself in my early 20s. Once I knew how long my parents and teachers suspected it, everything clicked into place. Glad Lewis is doing better after that.
I'm so glad Lewis is doing so well...Della
44:06 wow that really got me. I wish everyone on the spectrum could receive a hug from her
this is the best hospital I have seen. just my opinion.
What a handsome lad Sam is those eyes my goodness a heartthrob and he seems so caring of others. I hope he works out what he wants to do in life he has so much potential
god this episode has me fucked up, i see too much of myself in lewis and the way his mother struggles emotionally with the suffering her child has to go through
It's so close to home for me... My son has adhd and mild autism and I totally feel what she feels... Afraid of every phone call from sch, thinking what he has does again this time, constant worries, etc etc... Glad he is recovering well!
My eldest 28 yo son was diagnosed with an Autistic Spectrum and my youngest 19 yo son was diagnosed with ADHD. God bless Lewis’s mother 🩷🙏🩷
Great job 👍
Why did he pass out after 3 hits on a cigar???
Lewis reminds me of my son .....a worry all the time ,naughty but loveable, always in trouble. Hes 35 now with boys of his own.
Much better intro! Great series!
Yes! I too love the new intro - it gives such a great perpective on what to expect ❤
God bless Lewis an family
My husband has ADD (ADHD when he was young). Mom is right about people with ADHD processing things differently. When he needs anesthesia, we always have to tell the doctors and nurses that he’s been known to have quite intelligent conversations while he’s under. And he comes out of anesthesia very quickly. But here’s the thing about ADD-people who have ADD have a lot going on in their minds ALL the time. My husband is really intelligent and retains information much better than most people. He can identify composers of anything from Acid Rock to Classical and Opera after hearing the composer’s work just a couple of times. Autism changes the way information is processed differently than ADHD. I can’t imagine having a close relationship with someone who has both-it must be absolutely draining for Lewis and his family. God bless Lewis and his family.
Not many truly understand what people with ADHD or other mental health disorders go through. Thank you for sharing ❤
side note: ADD is no longer viewed as a diagnosis-- it all falls under ADHD now, with different subtypes. much like now Aspergers is no longer a medical diagnosis and falls under autism.
About the rest of y’all, but when I was in the hospital, having my partners hand was basically like heaven
My gosh as i watch this its so sad its so like my son. I pray you and your family
lewis wish you all the best in your recovery, i also road bikes many years loved it also felt free, but had a small accident , miss the bikes had to make a choice.

Nurse Jerry is destined to be a professional nurse ❤🧑⚕️
She is very humble ❤
Thanks God for all of those that work in the medical field! ❤
They are some special people to help in some of the most scariest times of a person's life.
I feel for Lewis and his family. Wishing them all the best moving forward as I know some of the struggles they described. Of course I cant imagine their exact situation, but I can understand some of it. I hope life gets better for all of them. He may have made a mistake to cause the accident (im not here to judge that, point that put, or even assume he did), but no one deserves to go through that mich pain and suffering.
I love how the Doctors just say “glue it up” over the phone without even seeing it!😮
