Garrett smiled at me today! It was his first real smile and he even showed some teeth! It was a great day today. We got to go to Temple Square again today. It was hot but still nice. Garrett's doing so good answering yes or no questions with his head. I love seeing how much better he's getting!

Today we got to take Trax down to Temple Square. Garrett did really good and it was a lot of fun! We also got to go out last Saturday and we went downtown and looked at the chalk art. We went to Clark Planetarium for a little while. Garrett had a pretty good week all things considered. He got dehydrated on Tuesday but he now seems to be much better.

Garrett is doing fabulous!! Today his physical therapist got him in a contraption that helped him stand and he was able to practice walking! It is the first time since his accident in February. I was impressed with how he worked so hard to try to move his feet forward. It was incredible and I am so proud of him! It has been a great week. He has been using his voice a lot more and it is prolonged as well. Yesterday he worked on catching and throwing balls. This evening before I left I was told he is likely to receive a trax pass and we will be able to take him out for a while! Yay Garrett!!

Garrett has done really good during therapy this week. Today he wrote numbers 1, 2, and 3 all by himself with his left hand. He's using his voice more and more. Garrett is definitely trying. It's all very exciting!

We went for a walk outside today. You can see the bandaid where his trach used to be. Garrett has been doing quite well recently. We played UNO on Tuesday and yesterday we played Connect Four (both during therapy). It's great seeing improvement!
