Brett has had a hard past few days. He has gone through so much these past few months and now he can understand everything you say and respond to questions with yes or no or a few words he can say. As i have said before Luke and Samantha were in the car with Brett, Sam is fine, but Luke didn't make it. Up until yesterday they had not told Brett that Luke was no longer with us and they were planing on waiting so he was able to ask questions and they were afraid Brett would stop fighting for his life. Well when Luke's brothers were visiting Brett yesterday they asked him if he had noticed Luke had not come to see him yet and Brett nodded yes. So after Greta and Alan had a long talk Greta sat down next to Brett and she was crying she told Brett that Luke had died in the car crash Brett tried to hand his mom the towel he was holding at the time to wipe her tears and then he hid his face in his pillow for a while. Brett has also been feeling very bad right shoulder/knee pains the past few days and today they took him in for an X-Ray and it turns out his shoulder had been popped out of place, but now they know and they can fix that. On a lighter note Brett is no longer on tube feeding he eats all food through his mouth! Last night was his last tube feeding he was pushing it away when his mom was giving it to him and Greta asked him if he didn't want to eat tube feeding anymore and he said yes. The doctors decided to have him stop it and his tube will be taken out some time in December. Thats the low down on Brett!
