Our hero: Looking forward to going home

Homecoming nears for Brett
Kathy Grant reports again
Brett was able to stand up today and he is in a wheelchair sitting up straight.

Medically he is almost ready to come home, but he needs to be stronger before he is transferred to rehab in Vegas.

Please pray that his physical strength improves so he can come home.

I am returning home on Friday. Brett's parents are coming to California.

Thank you to all of you for your prayers and cards.

Thank you especially to the Bullocks who have all but officially adopted Dominic and Zachary.

Meanwhile, another voice is heard

We know Brett is almost back to normal after his withering experience because he is back on Facebook. Fans of this sometimes useful social network can find the man displaying his vivacious wit there once again.

He's also responding as he can to text messages sent to his phone. Doctors have asked him to text as a medical tool -- they believe it will help with his coordination.

At the same time, though, they don't want to overwhelm him. Right now, he's probably getting just enough text time to keep him busy.
