Troy again --
Hyatt never met a person that she did not love. She loved all those she had not met. Ok, a bit on the corny side I know - but it is true. Hyatt cared about everyone through her work at the EPA - she worked tirelessly to make this world a better place for everyone, and that includes you.
For those that she was lucky enough to know personally, she cared deeply about all the ups and downs of your life. I've seen so many "best friend" comments on this blog - and she had that gift. I don't make lasting friends very easily and I have a difficult time maintaining contact with them - she is my opposite - she makes lasting friendships that continue to thrive even if separated by distance.
I've been praying a lot these past few days for a miracle. I think that I've already seen one and that is the outpouring of love that our family has felt from everyone who is praying for her. I've seen people draw closer to their own families as a result of our struggle and I've seen love expressions from people who have never met us. I treasure each and every prayer that is offered for her - as I know that she does.
I continue to pray for the miracle that I want - but I do acknowledge that God provides miracles in the way that HE wants. I continue to beg that He hears our cries for Hyatt, and I continue to believe that he will provide for her.
Love,
Troy.
PS. How long has it been since you kissed your loved ones?

Troy, you are such an amazing man! Im so proud of you and your willingness to get on here and speak your heart. Im sure that it must be tough. This is Ashley Price, Ronnie's cousin by marriage, maybe?!?! We briefly met when the Price family came to DC and we rented that bus and toured around the city, and I degraded you by asking, "What fence company do you work for?" FYI.. I will NEVER live that one down! :) You and the whole entire family have been in my thoughts and prayers constantly! Please know that we have a TEAM praying for this whole situation. And you are right, God does have a plan for Hyatt! Praying for you Troy! We love you!
Troy, I wish I had something I could say that would offer you and your family some comfort at this time. You, Hyatt, and your daughters have been in my thoughts and prayers constantly. You and Hyatt are both so extraordinary, and I count myself lucky to call you family. There are lots of prayers in the world tonight for a miracle.
with love,
Meredith
Troy,
I can tell by your blogs that you are such an amazing, wonderful husband to be able to speak what your heart is feeling. I cannot get through these blogs with dry eyes. We will continue to pray for you and your family. Thank you for keeping all of us posted on Hyatt's condition. I am constantly checking the blog update myself along with my prayers. I hope Bekah is continuing to do well with her formula. I'm certain she is happy to have her daddy home to hold her after a long day with relatives and friends. Remember to take care of yourself... be sure you are getting enough rest and some of that food that the BMAK group is providing. I wish that I lived closer so I could help in other ways as well. Just know that you have a world of people praying for your strength, Hyatt's health, and the girls' well-being.
love,
Nicki (friend of Dani Shaffer's)
Dear Troy and family,
We want to let you know that we are thinking of you constantly in Portland, Maine as well. My sister (Amy Gibson) is in BMAK and shared your story wtih us on Thursday. Like many others, I find myself drawn to the blog on an almost hourly basis... desperately praying for your entire family. Pete has done an amazing job... such a tremendous source of information and also inspiration. Please take care of yourselves and know that so very many are thinking of all of you.
Your strength is truly a gift...
Best,
Paula Saabye and family

Troy and family-I just received an email from my brother-in-law with a link to Hyatt's blog. Doug's friend Linda is Heather's mom; we met her when we were in Indy a couple of months ago-we live in Portage, Michigan. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that our prayers are with you and your family. I cannot imagine what you must be going through but I know that it's most certainly the toughest thing that you have ever had to face. No Matter What, please do not lose your faith-God does miracles every day and He has a plan for not only Hyatt but for you and the girls too. I can for sure tell you that God gives us hard times to help us learn, (I guess I must be a slow learner because I sure have had my share in the past!!) to help us appreciate Him and what He has given us/done for us and to teach us how to stop and LOVE those in our lives. Please know that we are praying for you and your family and will keep checking the blog to see what is happening there. Jim & Tami Penny and family: Jessica, Christopher, Jacob and Connor
Troy, The two of you are so much like Mike & I. Chrissy Michael & I were his best friends. You & I were blessed to have been chosen by two extraordinary people. The Lord is with you on your journey, of that I'm certain.I had planned to visit tonight but I understand it was not a good time. I'll try again tomorrow. LOVE, Carol Ferrier
Hi Troy, I'm praying every day for Hyatt's healing and for stength for the rest of your family. ~Catherine (of BMAK)
Troy,
Just wanted you to know that we think about and pray for Hyatt, you and your family often. Your strength through this ordeal is truly amazing. We have injected you all into our albeit small, but powerful prayer network, hoping for that one miracle...
Love and prayers,
Alen and family
Troy,
You are amazingly strong and you have given all of us readers hope and faith in life itself.
Thank you for choosing Hyatt to spend your life with. She has been very lucky to have so much love in her life. I know that your love has been an inspiration for it since freshman year NC State.
Brenda
Troy,
Thank you for your post tonight. I feel Hyatt's love in your words and God's strength in our family over the past few days. As the Price family said, you are an amazing man. I pray for your's and Hyatt's continued strength. Nancy Sue and I look forward to sharing many more Thanksgivings and Easters with you all, having play dates with Davis and the girls, and beating you two and anybody else there in Mexican Dominoes.
Troy
You and Hyatt don't know me but I am a teacher at Haymarket Baptist Preschool. I received the link to your blog from Laurie Frasz and have been reading it everyday. I can't read it without a dry eye. I pray for your family each and every moment I have. I don't know what to say to you except thank you for reminding us to take time out to love the ones that mean the world to us and treat others with kindness. We forget those things quite often and we need people like you to keep us in line. I can't imagine what you are going through but remember you have a lot of family, friends and others who have never met your family praying for you. Hyatt sounds like an amazing woman and I hope I get the chance to meet her. You also sound like an amazing person, husband, father and friend. Keep praying for your miracle as the rest of us will. God will take care of Hyatt as he will you and your daughters.

Troy I can't even imagine what you must feel, but I want you to know that you are being filled with God's love and glory. My wife is Argentina right now with my two little ones taking care of her sick father and all I ever do is pray for their safe return. You, Hyatt, Sid and Beka have been added to those prayers ever since I first heard. We are praying for a miracle. We have seen many miracles including those that were in direct relation to us and we don't doubt you will see yours. You are a very remarkable man, and we pray that you continue to receive God's strength through all of this.
Troy
Wow...I don't know where to begin. I have been in prayer without ceasing that God will continue to give you the strength to make it through these very difficult days - you are truly a man of God and it most definitely shows; that His mighty hands will surround Hyatt, you, and the girls as well as family with love and comfort that only He is capable of; and that God's miracle will be made known to us in His time.
Thank you so much for posting this blog so that those of us that are far away can maintain a closeness to you, Hyatt, Sidney, and Rebekah, as well as both of your families that would not otherwise be possible.
Love from your God-children, Gabriella and Caleb, and their daddy
Troy - I find it hard to find words when I think of the situation that God has presented to your family. My heart is breaking, yet your courage and strength give me hope. You and your family are an example to us all. Even if it's sometimes hard to understand, and even harder to endure, the Lord has a plan for each of us and we can only pray and wait to see if His plan is the one that we would have chosen for ourselves.
Our prayers, hearts, love and friendship are with you and your entire family now and always.
All our love,
Eileen and Mike Ferrier

I have been praying for Hyatt and your family every moment I have.

We forget these things quite often and it takes people like you to keep us in line. I can't say to you I know what you are going through because I don't but just know I am one of many praying for Hyatt and your family. Stay strong and positive and God will take care of Hyatt and your family. I will keep praying for you to stay as strong as you have been, for Hyatt to recover and for your two daughters.

Troy,
Kim and Jamie here, just thinking about Hyatt, you and your entire family. This blog is really amazing. We have been reading your updates and others comments and wish we had met in a different situation.
Kim and I met at Fairfax CCU. Oddly, we didn't like eachother at first but now we are really good friends. We have worked together through many highs and lows and been faced with the fragility of life our entire careers. So many times we have commented to each other that we have no control over anything. Sometimes everything goes wrong and yet the patient thrives; sometimes everything goes right and the patient dies.
Even Kim the "agnostic" says that something greater must be at work and we can only hope to know what that is someday. Just walking into the room we can feel the power of your love and faith and the spirit of your wife that is present even in her silence.
You are always in our thoughts and if you need us we are here!
Dear Troy, Hyatt, Sidney and Rebekah,
Know that our hearts go out to you all;
Know that we pray for you;
Know that you are in our thoughts.
Know also that you and Hyatt have touched our lives for the better;
Know that I have heard what you've said and done as you've asked, and we as a family are the better for it;
Know that the outpouring of prayer and feelings you see from your family and friends shows how much you are all loved.
Among all the uncertainty you have right now, please remember God loves us, in spite of the mysteries we face and how the world is. I may never understand...it seems so unfair. You are in our thoughts and prayers. The strength you have shown is an inspiration to us. We have our friends praying for you as well, praying that a miracle will happen.
A sincere thank you to Pete for giving us this blog so that we can understand what's going on and share our thoughts.
Mark, Jennifer, Megan, Mackenzie and Morgan Pearson
Troy - I'm glad I stopped by today to see you. You and Hyatt have wonderful families. Know that Zack and I are continuing to pray for Hyatt, you, and the girls. We'll be there for you!
Troy,
I am sure that Hyatt is so proud of you. Avery and I are continuing with our prayers for your Family.
Janet
Troy, I do not know you nor do I know Hyatt (unfortunately, as she seems to be such a wonderful person) but I am friends with your parents...whom I adore! I have just learned of your family's situation and I have read your bolgs and Have and will continue to keep you all in my prayers! I have recenty gone thru quite a bit of hardships (nothing like yours, but def times where I felt my faith was being tested) and I just kept praying and praying that God has a reason for everything and that he gives us only what we can handle (even when we think we cannot). It appears you have two amazing little girls with Hyatt and they desrve and need you to be strong. I am glad you have such a support team around you to keep your faith and hopes positive. HE can only pick up what we put down- so lets all continnue laying out our prayers for Hyatt! I will!
~Crystal
Troy,
I pray that Hyatt comes back to you and the girls. Its been awhile since I last saw you. I heard about Hyatt from Kim. It breaks my heart to know that you are suffering so much. Keep strong and take care of yourself. She will need you when she get back.
