As many are already aware Carlin lost to Tonopah to end their run for a state football championship, it was a great year and the kids did go 10-0 before this lost, Chris handle the lose a lot better then I thought he was going to, I know he wanted to accomplish more on the field, his senior year but everyone is proud of him and really just amazed at what he did accomplish in such a short period of time. Nevada Prep wrote an article on Chris and his progress (follow link to read)http://nevadaprep.com/2008/11/20/carlins-chris-hyatt-inspiring-a-community/ . Chris had a few follow-up appointments over Thanksgiving so we were running around a lot, his appointments went well, and as long as he keeps healing the way he has been and stays stretched out he does not have to go to physical therapy any longer, his wounds are healing great and hopefully continues to do so, he still has an open sore on his elbow but that seems to be healing as well, Chris was also seen by the speech specialist and he still has some inflammation that is still causing his vocal cords to not function as they should, but these also have improved since his last visit. Now that fall sports has ended winter sports has started and the Boys basketball team played in their first games of the year in the Elko tournament. The boys look good and it seems football helped Chris get ready for his sport and he is leading the team in points per game so far, the basketball team has some good players so they should have a good season, I will add any news from the basketball team as well as any updates on Chris, he does not have to see any doctors until February so we should be good for a while, here is hoping that everyone has a Safe and Happy Holiday Season.
