Brett got a new wheelchair that is alot easier to function for greta. Brett has a camera in his room so Greta can see his everymove well he is sleeping. Brett walked a few times sense he has been home from the help of greta to look out the window and see people walking by. Brett went out to lunch with some family friends and also tried very hard to talk and he said his sisters name for the first time in 4 months. Brett is also trying to help with his cares aswell and he can now change the radio station on his own and has improved so much since 4 months ago when it was a big deal for brett to move his thumb or blink an eye.

Brett has had a hard last few months. On Freida he finished up his last day at the hospital. He did all his therapies like it was a normal day. But at the end of the day, instead of going back to his hospital room he get in the car and his greta drove him back to his home in watertown to stay, for good! In his last few days at the hospital someone brought all the children in bretts wing a new ipod! Brett has been home a few times since the crash just so Greta and alen had a taste for what they were in for but he is home safe and sound now.

Brett had improved so much. He is typing full conversations on his link(a key board that he types on) and he is starting to move his right arm more and more! Brett is so much more independent and had his feeding tube removed recently. All though they have not used the tube in a very long time they needed to wait to take it out to make sure that he didnt get an infection. Brett has a very good long term memory and remembers most everything from before the crash(when we went to visit him a few days ago he knew who we were right away), But he is still having a hard time remembering what he had done that day so his short term memory is not very good.
