American Idol finalist David Cook will get a special audience tomorrow night as he performs during "Mariah Carey week." His brother Adam, who has been diagnosed with brain cancer, is making the trip from Indiana to Los Angeles to see his brother perform.
Adam almost didn't make the trip after doctors refused to allow him to fly on a commercial flight to Los Angeles. But the community rallied around him and helped to raise funds for a private jet.
Luckily for Adam, who practiced law in Terre Haute until his condition worsened, his friends and a local councilman rallied behind him and arranged for an all-expenses-paid flight on a chartered medical jet, with a flight medic and flight nurse onboard to make sure he is stable. A local radio station also threw in a paid stay in a hotel just across the street from the Los Angeles studio where the "Idol" finalists perform.
Adam's wife Kendra has said that the thought of the trip has lifted Adam's spirits.
While I'm happy for Cookie and his family to be reunited - surely it could have happened on a better night than steaming hot pile of manure that will be Mariah night!
