That's very nice of you. You probably should start a new thread about it because it's likely to be overlooked in this one.

Happy Birthday Brett!

Happy Birthday Brett..& ROLL TIDE!!! Buddy..

Update -

Saturday Update~
Brett's been markedly stable the past few weeks and I think that his doctors will feel comfortable talking about getting him to the milestones that will allow us to take him home. Joe and I will be apartment hunting here in Birmingham next week and we're hoping to find something quick to get ready to have him out of the hospital (at least for a while).

His seizures have almost come to a standstill. His physicians are comfortable with the combination seizure medicines that he's on and they put him on a ketogenic diet (think Adkins) that he's fed 24 hours a day via his G-tube. It's been really nice not having to worry about it.

He still has staples and stiches in his head from his last surgery (2 weeks ago) and he'll be on antibiotics a bit longer just to be sure. Because of the chemotherapy drugs and radiation they are expecting his wound to take longer than usual to heal and will leave his staples and stiches in longer as well.

He has been fitted for a special wheelchair to accomodate his physical needs and goes to physical therapy once a day for range exercises. Speech therapy has come back in as well to work on getting a line of communication established. The doctors have said that since he makes noises when he is hurting that's our first step toward communicating with him again.

We're really grateful that you've all hung in there this long with us. We feel tremendously lucky that Brett has survived this long and we're hoping he'll continue to make some progress. Keep sending good thoughts, please. It really helps us and it helps us to help Brett.

Take care guys.

Tanda, Joe, Brett, Josh, and Matt.



As an added note:

We are aiming for November to make the trip to New York.
Medicaid will pay for all things but the treatment, including the trip to New York.
We are hoping we will have the money raised by then.
Funds are still needed!

i just wanted to say that my thoughts, prayers, and heart goes out to Brett and his family. i can't even begin to imagine how difficult this has been for you. keep the faith and God will answer your prayers.

give me some time and i will come up with something to donate for Brett. i just had a baby myself and am self-employed, so i have to make sure the family is taken care off. i promise you that i will donate. this is too important for me not to.

God Bless You.
