"You know why big brothers are born first? To protect the little ones that come after them." - Kurosaki Ichigo, Bleach

Have you ever watched Bleach? BTW, Bleach is an Anime that was brought to me back when I was in my 2nd year college. This anime did'nt even reach the television here in the Philippines when I first saw it. Well, it was a good and I got hooked up with it. Ichigo was the main cast here and had delivered a line, "You know why big brothers are born first? To protect the little ones that come after them." It is sad to say that I think this is not meant for me. I am the youngest of the two seedlings. My brother has been set upon my supervision even when I was in my early days. My parents as well as my relatives and even my grandparents, both from my father and mother's side that when I grew up, I will be the one to take care of my brother. "Take Care" in all aspects your mind can think.

A little background history of my brother. When my brother was in grade 3, well i think i was grade 1 back then. He had this severe headache that led him bang his head on the wall to divert the pain , based on my uncle Cris story. That day, my mama is in the school teaching and i was asked to go and fetched her. I rembered that i went to the faculty to see her but she was not there and i was informed i think in the registrar to see her in the library. I saw her and told her what's happening. We went home and there she did what is needed to be done. Back then, he was diagnosed of encephalitis.

Encephalitis is an acute inflammation of the brain, commonly caused by a viral infection. It can be caused by a bacterial infection such as bacterial meningitis spreading directly to the brain (primary encephalitis), or may be a complication of a current infectious disease like rabies or syphilis (secondary encephalitis). Certain parasitic or protozoal infestations, such as toxoplasmosis, malaria, or primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, can also cause encephalitis in people with compromised immune systems. Lyme disease may also cause encephalitis. Bartonella henselae can also lead to this. Brain damage occurs as the inflamed brain pushes against the skull, and can lead to death.

Patients with encephalitis suffer from fever, headache and photophobia with weakness and seizures also common. Less commonly, stiffness of the neck can occur with rare cases of patients also suffering from stiffness of the limbs, slowness in movement and clumsiness depending on which specific part of the brain is involved. The symptoms of encephalitis are caused by the brain's defense mechanisms activating to get rid of the infection.

this illness can trigger certain diseases as well as other complications. He has been again diagnosed with a GBS - Guillain Barre Syndrome visit this site http://www.reference.com/browse/guillain-barre%20syndrome. GBS in short exhibits as an ascending paralysis noted by weakness in the legs that spreads to the upper limbs and the face along with complete loss of deep tendon reflexes. Worse case scenario if an abscence of drug was not issued to my brother, his lungs as well as his heart may be paralyzed causing to death. Fortunately, it did not.

another thing that was triggered is the common chronic neurological disorder or epilepsy that is characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures. I think some of you guys know this disorder.

Look how painful this is for my parents as well as to me. We didn't lose hope and faith to give him all the pleasure of living his life. Untill now, he is undergoing a life time medication that when stop a seizure may occur.

This is what my brother was made of. Well, I may say that he is a blessing to us since he was given to us by Him and taught us on how to become patient and how to carry burden and be part of that burden. We were by his side every now and then to give him all he need and his wants.

Ichigo, i think was wrong with your line for it is the younger brother who will protect his older brother. sad to say but all things have excemptions.#
