Caringbridge: Brett Hansen-Begg
By: Greta & Alan Hansen-Begg

Just in the past day the nurses think that Brett is coming down with a little flu bug or something so they decided to lay off of therapies a bit to let Brett rest and get better as soon as possible. He is still working toward more Independence, but he still loves having his mom, Greta around. She will tell him that she needs to go get an ice pack or talk to a nurse and he will ask her when she will be back and what she is doing and make sure she is coming back. Greta knows that this is something she needs to work on with Brett so everyday she tries to help Brett be independent and do things on his own and have time to himself. A few nights ago Brett almost fell out of his bed. The nursing staff and Greta realized that a device called a Posey bed is needed. Because Brett is more mobile, by being able to move his arms and legs a Posey bed will keep him all zipped up in his bed at night to keep him safe and not able to fall out. This a good thing because Brett is able to move around and do more things on his own.
