Brett never stops. He is no longer considered in a coma, but a vegetative state. He has come so far and is still recovering faster then most teens. Brett got his trach removed 2 days ago and is now breathing through his mouth and nose on his own! They did a test and plugged it and most people only last about an hour on this test, but not Brett he lasted 24 hours. He also is no longer connected to a heart rate monitor. This means that Brett has not cords or tubes connected to him any longer except for his feeding tube which is not always there. Now that Brett does not have a trach he is starting to try to talk, but can only manage to make noises. Alan, Brett’s dad, had to leave the hospital to go home and work and on Friday Greta surprised him and came to Watertown for the day! Greta has also been filming different things that Brett does because her friend is applying her for an extreme makeover home edition. I cant wait to see the old Brett.

I'm glad to hear your friend is showing continual progress. He's lucky to have such a great family and friends that care for him so much.
