As long as it is safe for Adam, I'm very happy. I had heard he felt better after coming to LA the first time. Positive energy is a good thing.

Awesome words! I really hope all works out. Adam and David both need this. Wow! Now David NEEDS to win this just to put the exclamation point on those nights. Can you imagine DC winning and him grabbing Adam and celebrating with him on stage? How cool would that be! I'll be sending prayers out their way, too.

Thank you so much for posting this. I have tears in my eyes. This is SUCH great news. If that's not motivation for David, I don't know what is, especially because we all know how much he wanted him there. This will make the win even more special

Awe! I hope Adam can make it to see his big brother win American Idol!
I bet David is just thrilled that one of his biggest fans is going to be there for his win!
Awe!
I can't quit saying Awe!
I guess that's what being up at 6 a.m. does to you...
Anyway I"m happy for the Cook family, and I wish only the best for them.

That is so great that Adam is gonna be there.
And actually it can also help David to win, because he knows that Adam is in the audience so maybe that gives him some ''extra power''. : o If you understood what I mean.

While David Cook prepares for this week’s two-night American Idol season finale, PEOPLE has learned that it is unlikely that one of his biggest supporters, brother Adam Cook, will be in the audience.
Adam, 37, who has been battling brain cancer for the past ten years, was able travel to Los Angeles to see David perform live on April 15, but will likely stay home this week due to his condition.
Adam’s health is “a day-to-day thing,” his wife Kendra told PEOPLE last month. “I can’t look at tomorrow. I have to look at today. If I start planning out and thinking about too much in the future, I can get overwhelmed in all the details. I have to concentrate on today.”
David Cook and David Archuleta will go head-to-head on Tuesday’s live performance show from the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. The results will air live on Wednesday’s two-hour season finale.
Cook supporters will host a viewing party in Terre Haute, Ind., where Adam lives, on Wednesday, but Adam, Kendra, and their two young children, will most likely watch the show from their home. –Pam Grout
