Caring Bridge - Brett Hansen-Begg
By: Greta and Alan Hansen-Begg
The outside reading that I have been doing lately is on a website called Caring Bridge, this website is a place for families to blog about loved ones that are in critical illness. My friend that I met at camp 2 summers ago got in a car accident on Friday August 29th very early in the morning and has been in a coma since then. For the past 3 weeks, his mom and dad have been keeping the blog updated on his current progress. A few friends of mine and I have gone to Hennepin County Medical Center to visit with his family and friends and to see Brett. He has had a lot of progress since the accident and is making a good recovery. The most recent update was about how his lungs and heart are heathly. Also that the doctors are putting him on a stimulant to help him sleep through the night and be alert during the day, and that Brett is now off the ventalator and is now breathing on his own. The doctors are still saying that all he needs is time, so we all are hoping that Brett makes a full recovery and is back to the old friend we love. :)
