I will never forget this day, October 27,2000. My husband and I were at work and I was just getting ready to get off. We both run with a Fire and Rescue company so I had my pager on. I heard the call go out, but I didn't have any idea, just a gut feeling, that my 1 year old daughter, Lee Ann Hyatt, was in a major auto accident. One of the squads came and got us from work and took us to Culpeper Regional Hospital. It was a parents nightmare. They were getting ready to fly her, via MedStar Helicopter, to UVA. It was a week before she would be 2. She had severe head trauma, and a fractured collar bone. My little baby spent her 2nd birthday at UVA's PICU. She spent 14 days there.They couldn't keep her pressure in her brain down so they had to remove her frontal bone so her brain could swell. The doctors didn't think she would make it and if she did she would be a vegetable. She fooled them all. After all the meds were taken off she was ready to go. A week before Thanksgiving, she went to Kluge Rehab. center in Charlottesville, Va. They did a great job. I truthfully didn't think she needed it, but the doctors did. She spent until December 1st there and then we brought her home. I stayed with her the entire time and my husband stayed with her until she was out of danger, out of the PICU, and he went back to work and came down every night to see his Little Sweet Heart. The first thing she wanted to do when we got home was to see the "WOO WOO's" ambulances and firetrucks. I knew she was gonna be alright. She is 3 1/2 now and goes to preschool and loves it. You would never know anything ever happened. Thanks to all of the Culpeper County Virginia Paid crew, volunteers Culpeper Regional Hospital Staff, Culpeper Pediatrics, MedStar, UVA staff, and Kluge staff, and especially to God, for giving us our daughter back. She is our Christmas Miracle.
