My Poor Baby Brother

March 2014 my brother developed agroaphobia, and hasn't left the house since then. He has severe anxiety and struggles everyday with it. Ten days ago be developed what we thought was chickenpox however he has deteriorated very quickly and become quite ill.
Today he knew he was really poorly and agreed to go into hospital. For most people leaving the house regularly is so simple, for Jonathan it is the hardest thing possible. But my brave baby brother managed to overcome that today and make it into hospital. After being prodded and poked and being made comfortable he has had to stay in over night to be monitored as they are still trying to figure out exactly what is wrong with him.
Mental health is something I cannot fully understand, life's hard mentally it's challenging. But these past few days i've finally started to try and learn to understand mental illness. And today proved to me that anything is possible.
Although he has gone to hospital for physical reasons in his eyes that doesn't scare him half as much as mental.
Jonathan, Mum and I haven't exactly had an 'easy' life but in different ways we are strong and together as a unit we are powerful!
