An Amazing Accomplishment 11/14/12

This week, after more than a year of trying, Forrest is beginning to really communicate with us. He is gaining more control of his hands and particularly the fingers on his right hand. With incredible effort and determination he is typing and it is clearly HIS voice and sense of humor we can see at last. This is his response to Austin today!

And Forrest, your Mum and your whole Team are thrilled. We can't wait to see what you will do next. With love and gratitude overflowing, Mum

    Hey Forrest

    It's your aunt Tricia in Oregon. What great progress you are making! Wow. This a huge step and we are all so proud of your grit and determination. I will be out there in a few weeks to hang out with you and your mom. You and I battled a lot in the thumb wrestling arena...I think it won't be long and we will be arm wrestling !
    See you soon, love aunt Tricia
