Brett had a very big step today! He is eating meals. Although Brett is still getting tube feeding it has been significantly reduced. Today for lunch Brett had Mashed potatos, beef, peas, applesauce, juice, and milk. He ate about half of the potatos, beef, and peas and all of the applesauce. After he was finishedrnished with the applesauce he kept opening his mouth for more, but when Greta would give him the left over food he would not eat it. He would actually mumble out a no. Greta thinks this is because Brett had a hard time eating the other food and the applesauce he didn't really have to chew. Brett is also reading the book to kill a mocking bird in his school. He other day Brett brought his hands to his face and gently touched his face and wondered around it as if he was feeling it for the first time and this is the first time he has done something like this. A low is Brett didn't really seem to want to participate in his PT and his mom could tell something was wrong once she found out what it was she said Brett I'll hold up my end of the deal if you hold up yours and do PT today, sure enough it worked. Thats the news on Brett for today!
