This morning started out pretty normal with wound care and physical therapy. The speech therapist stopped by again today and did another swallow test. This one went better, but still not quite good enough. Hopefully Monday will be the day.
After the normal morning activities, Chris (or as the doctor puts it "the healing machine") was released from the hospital! He is now staying in a two bedroom hotel suite with his parents. Sam was able to visit him there today. Tiff and Earl are glad to have him hanging out in the hotel with them. They had to go back to the hospital for afternoon physical therapy and will have to continue to go twice per day, but the hotel is a huge improvement for all of them.
On Monday, Chris will have another visit from the speech therapist. After that, the Hyatt's will just be waiting for the day the doctors tell them they can bring Chris home. Today's pictures are of Chris getting into Tiff's van for the ride away from the hospital and Chris chilling on the couch in the hotel room.
