Today was a mix of good and bad news. I’ll start with the bad news so that I can finish with the good stuff! This morning, when Tiffannie arrived, Chris was moving around and trying to talk, which is not good considering he is supposed to be immobilized. It turns out that due to Chris’ young age and good physical condition, the sedatives do not affect him as much as they affect the average person. After some frank discussions with the doctor and nurses, the dosage was increased so that Chris would be unable to move. As much as Tiff and Earl would like for him to be coherent and talkative, they don’t want him to have to go through another surgery, so they are dedicated to making sure this one is successful. The other bit of bad news is that Chris will have to stay at least 30 days in the ICU and on the Burn floor for at least 2 more weeks after that. This means that it will be longer than originally thought before the Hyatt family can return home. This also means that Chris will miss some of the beginning of his senior year of high school.
Now for the good news. Chris’ breathing and heart rate are very good. Knowing how important sports are to Christopher, the hospital will be arranging a sports physical therapist for Chris so that he can come back to sports as soon as possible and as strong as possible. And the best news of all, the hospital staff think that Chris will be up and moving around by the 4th of July weekend!

Chris is a fighter -- that much has been demonstrated already. So, I know he will return to sports, and he will catch up in school. I'm thrilled that he might be up and around by the July 4th weekend. That will certainly help his spirits and his parents'. He has a wonderful support system, and that will really help his road to recovery, both mentally and physically.
We are thinking about the Hyatt family often, and we're keeping you in our prayers and in our hearts.
Chris is so strong and is doing so well. I just want him and his family to know that myself and my family hold them close to our hearts. We are praying for the best recovery process. We love you Chris stay strong!! Kyle, Shawna, and family
We are all so glad to hear that he is doing as well as possable! I have grown up with Christopher since kindergarten and i know his humor is one of the things that make Chris Chris, so i am glad to hear that he still has enough spirit to joke! I know Chris is going to make it through this as well as Tiff and Earl! Please let Them both know that i can and will do anything to help!
All of our hearts go out the the Hyatt's!
Stay Strong!
