It has now been a month since Chris left the hospital and returned to Carlin, so much has happened in the month but Chris is still doing good, he has his bad days and still manages to keep a great attitude about what has happened to him. Football starts tomorrow (Thursday the 14th) and Chris plans on being there and starting the 2 a day practices, The doctors have released him to play football as long as he wears his Garments and does not get over heated. The doctor told Chris that this was his greatest concern and as long has he can handle the heat he was fine, the doctor did state he may want to start off with a smaller guy to hit him first in which Chris replied "some of our guys a pretty small I may want to go with a medium size". Chris still has to go to physical therapy 5 times a week where they continue to try to keep his arm pits and other graphs stretched out, these are still very painful and still requires a lot of stretching at home as well. His first set of Garments did not fit properly and was to tight for him to wear, he just received his new ones this week and has been in them for a full day, the problem now is his opens sores from blisters that continue to develop over some of the scars, he has been into the doctor several times to remove these blisters so they will heal properly but this creates the open sores that stick to his garments . We have made several trips back to Salt Lake as well for follow up visits and physical therapy consults. All of his skin graphs have taken and are healing nicely, one thing that may become a problem later is that his mouth is not opening all the way because of some scaring and he may have to have surgery later this year to correct that. We are so happy to be home and are still overwhelmed with the support we have received from the community and friends, Thank all of you that have supported us and helped us in anyway, we will continue to update the blog and will attempt to update it a little more often.

Hey there Hyatt's
Boy it is really great to hear from you guys once again. You have been on my mind so often and I know that you have been very busy. Chris really looks good for what he has had to go through. I give him so much credit to be able to come back and play football is just amazing. He sure is an inspiration to a lot of people. The good Lord sure gave you a blessing with him and also gave him a blessing with having wonderful parents who are there to help him and stand by him no matter what. I sure wish we lived closer in times like these but let me tell you that this blog has sure been great.
Chris, if you plan on starting your senior year, just know that we are all very very proud of you and all that you have gone through and accomplished. Continue to do great as we know that you will and good luck with your football team this year. Play hard and safe and remember that you are still healing. We love all of you and wish nothing but the best for you.
Keep me informed of your teams progress and how you are doing.
Love to all
Aunt Faye
