Pete is continuing to make strides ahead. He has recently enjoyed a few visitors and it really seems to spur him on and encourage him....thank you! These past few days he has started to write a little and do more himself. Also, today his trach was removed! One more step in the right direction. In the next week or so he will be moved to a new facility because he is graduating from hospital level care!!! This is a great thing....he likely will remain in the seattle area due to doctor appointments, but we will let you all know where he will be as soon as we know. My mom and he are both looking forward to getting back to Bham and their friends as soon as dad is ready. Thank you again for all the support and love. The fam
