Hey there. Need a breather from the breaking news? Then you're on the right place. Each Saturday, we focus on stories that remind us of the good stuff happening, like how bees are doing much better than we thought they were in the US – thank goodness!

The reason that we're all here today is thanks to bees. They're the fundamental basis of our agricultural system, and they're the reason that you have food on your table, pretty much.

Plus, what happens when a chiropractor gives a giraffe an adjustment? From CNN I'm Krista Bo, and this is '5 Good Things.

'Doctor John Germiller says an 11-year-old boy from Morocco who was born completely deaf can now hear the world around him.

He was actually a little scared when I first got his hearing back because he. He wasn't sure what all this new information was all of a sudden, so. But it's exciting. He's loving it.

Aissam Dam was the first patient in the U.S. to receive a groundbreaking gene therapy treatment at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The therapy works by replacing the single mutated gene that causes congenital deafness with a functional gene.

Now he come here at a level that we we say is mild, moderate hearing loss, which is quite good. It's actually remarkably good.

There are over 150 genes that can cause hearing loss at birth. And doctor Dr. Michael believes this breakthrough could pave the way for more treatment options like it later on.

'Now we'll take you to Nebraska, where a newlywed couple and their loved ones found the light in a pretty dark situation. Austin and Jessica Brower woke up on their wedding day to find out that a tornado had knocked out power to their reception venue near Omaha. A deadly tornado outbreak hit the region last weekend, causing widespread damage, but the couple was not going to let anything ruin their special day, and neither were their 300+ guests or their vendors. Their ceremony went off without a hitch, but for the reception, everyone teamed up to bring in generators and LED lights sticks to get the party started in the dark, which the bride Jessica was really thankful for.

Everyone just kind of rolled up the punches. We kind of just went with the flow. It is what it is. And they're here to celebrate us, which we feel very fortunate for.

You can tell by the music in the background that they made it work. And Austin, the groom, said they were just happy to be with one another.

Blessed to have this many people around us and there's many people that care about us. And we've had so much fun.

We've had so much fun. All that matters at the end of the day that we're married and that's what we're here for. And we did the thing.

Raina Jain is allergic to honeybee stings, but that hasn't stopped her and other bee lovers nationwide from trying to save them.

The reason that we're all here today is thanks to bees. They're the fundamental basis of our agricultural system, and they're the reason that you have food on your table, pretty much.

You may have heard of colony collapse disorder. Bees dying off in droves have been a huge concern for years now. But apparently we have more bees now than ever before.

We have a record number of honeybees in the United States. They are the fastest growing livestock segment over the past 15 years, faster growing than broiler chickens or dairy cattle or anything else. Honeybees are number one.

Andrew Van Dam writes the Department of Data column for the Washington Post. He checked out the new Census of Agriculture and found we have a whopping 3.8 million bee colonies in the U.S.. That's like a 30% increase since 2007.

The reason that we still have a record number of bees is that beekeeping is big business, and humans are getting very good at producing more bees than we lose to collect.

He attributes the bee bump to federal government subsidies, tax incentives in Texas and California's massive almond harvest, where tons of bees get trucked there every winter to help pollinate almonds. So this rebound is good news, but we still haven't defeated colony collapse disorder once and for all. Andrew says you can do your part to help bees and other native pollinators at home by planting more flowers and using less pesticides.

One Ohio mom is learning how to walk again alongside her toddler after a hunting accident left her paralyzed from the waist down. Back in November, Leah Weiher felt her body go numb when she fell out of a tree and landed on her crossbow. Doctors gave the 24 year old mom a 50/50 chance that she'd ever be able to walk again. But Leah told CNN affiliate WBNS she wasn't going to give up because she has her one year old daughter, Laken, to take care of.

A lot of times it was really a lot hard to get out of bed in the morning even. I mean, mentally, physically and all I could think about was her and that she needed me.

After intense physical therapy, Leah took her first steps recently. So did Laken!

We started walking right around the same time, like probably within days of each other, which was my goal. I know that she's my reason and she is the reason that I'm walking right now.

She has a long road to a full recovery, but her next big goal is to be able to run again.

It's kind of hard to explain, but like, their hair is pokey and their their tongues are really slimy.

Coming up, we'll tell you how a chiropractor stuck his neck out trying to adjust a giraffe.

Being able to work on a giraffe is a is a chiropractor's dream. I mean, it's the largest neck in the world.

Doctor Joren Whitley from Oklahoma was called in by a private rancher to see Gerry the giraffe because he was having trouble chewing. He has human patients, but Doctor Whitley specializes in animals, mainly dogs. But he suggested chickens, bats, and even a sedated lion. Some skeptics wonder if chiropractic actually works on humans or animals, but Gerry's owner told the Washington Post, the giraffe'S chewing improved after his adjustment.

The amount of like affection he was showing, but also the amount like he wanted it to be close, like I had helped him with pain. He's had forever. It was a really cool moment.

'All right, that's all for now. Join us tomorrow for the next edition of One Thing. Host David Rind and CNN's Matt Egan dig into the pro-Palestinian protest encampments on college campuses across the country. Many of the students are asking the schools to divest financially from Israel.

Of course, that's easier said than done.
