A first-grader in Silver Lake who was critically injured in a lawnmower accident has returned to class.
Alex Hook was playing during recess last September when a piece of metal kicked up by a lawnmower hit him in the head.
He spent a month in the hospital and is still involved in physical therapy.
The 7-year-old went back to school Monday.
He attends class for three hours a day, then has more physical therapy.
The family says he is walking and talking and his recovery is going well.
His health is being monitored after he had skull implant surgery two months ago.
