Indian wrestling? That's great news
Rick Jakel reports this wonderful story
Just hung up with Don Grant, Brett’s father, a short time ago. I took notes as we talked and the best quote was: “Signs are super that he is on his way.”

There have been improvements in Brett’s condition every day since Friday.

Don told me they are going to be weaning him off the ventilator. Because of his tracheotomy he cannot yet talk but he can push his legs and move his foot, arms and knees.

His hands remain swollen, but there has been a dramatic reduction in his overall swelling. There is a lot of eye movement.

He apparently is in some pain with the withdrawal of the sedatives. They are able to give him a little water through sponges.

Don told Brett that he could “beat him Indian wrestling and Brett pushed back against my arm.”

Sorry we won’t be at tomorrow's meeting with you—but Sharon and I “made up” at our own home club here in Elgin this noon.
