In preparation for taking over all of the responsibilities, Tiffannie and Earl did the wound care by themselves for the first time today. In addition, they got some coaching from the Physical Therapist on continuing Chris’ work. Chris completed his physical therapy today without any oxygen and has been without oxygen all day. This afternoon, he walked up three flights of stairs. Both wound care and therapy went well and Chris is looking really good.
During the day, all of Chris’ food is coming from eating the semi-solids like yogurt and applesauce. At night, they hook back up his feeding tube so that they can make sure he is getting enough calories. He still has an IV, but it is only used for administering antibiotics twice per day.
Tomorrow, Tiff and Earl are switching to a two bedroom hotel suite in preparation for Chris joining them. All three of them are excited to spend more time at the hotel and less time at the hospital! Also, hopefully the speech therapist will test Chris’ swallow again tomorrow and if everything goes well he’ll get a wider range of food or drinks to choose from.

Christopher,
YIPPEE! I am so happy that you will get to get away from the hospital and spend some time with your family, alone. That's gotta be a great feeling! We are all thinking about you and miss you! See you soon!
Will you please tell the hospital staff "Thank You" from me for taking such great care of you?
Love, Becki
Amazing progress!
I'm sure the entire Hyatt family is grateful that you can be together in the hotel and away from the hospital most of the time. And, I am so happy for all of you.
There have been periods in my life where it doesn't seem like I could handle one more thing, but I am a firm believer that God doesn't give you more than He knows you can handle. Perhaps that's where we find our inner strength and/or a new sense of direction for our lives.
The strength of character, the determination, perseverance, and courage you have all modeled day after day, is an inspiration to all of us. And most of us can use inspiration from time-to-time. Thank you for that.
