Every time I send someone a link to this site I issue this warning – read at your own risk. Brain injury is a rollercoaster for the patient and the family. Today’s report is a downer:
I talked to Troy this morning from the hospital. He sounded discouraged and just very, very tired after a long night and receiving another report from the neurologist. Further electrophysical tests were performed yesterday without the results all had hoped for. These tests and associated prognostic findings are based on statistical equations, not absolutes. We will let you know what the neurologist says after all the tests are complete.
Please continue to pray for Hyatt that more healing may occur with time. Please continue to send your love and prayers to Troy and his family. It is impossible to imagine the highs and lows he is enduring, but he does so with amazing courage and faith.
More later, Allen

I walk in the "Glass half FULL" theory and in doing so, I zeroed in on your comment about the tests and prognostic findings being based "on statistical equations, not absolutes."
We serve an awesome God who is still and will always be in the Miracle Working business. This is what we focus on and continue to pray for Troy, Hyatt and their families.
Thank you for take on the mantle of reporting. You are doing an excellent job and we appreciate your efforts so much. May the Lord richly bless you and all whom you hold dear.

Thank you for posting info on this beautiful family. Our God is a merciful God. I pray that he will watch over Hyatt, her family and all of her wonderful friends.

I don't know any of you, but I have been praying for you and religiously reading this blog. We attend Haymarket Day every year, so my family got to see yours today. So happy to see you there despite your exhaustion and stress. You look so composed despite the trauma you are dealing with. I felt like shouting out to you that we're praying for you, but then felt that it might not be appropraite and might make people cry, so I didn't. Please know that families all over the area care about you all. Wishing you all the best!!
I am a friend of a friend of your family. I am praying for all of you.
Thanks for all the updates. I guess I got a little behind. So much has happened lately. Wow. Keep the faith. Shirley
I too was at Haymarket Day and saw you and your daughter walk in the parade along with all of the signs of prayer and wishes. I couldn't help but to cry for what your family is haveing to go through. I have read this entire blog and am so saddened by your situation. You were so strong and brave to be there with your daughter, as a mother myself with a daughter in the parade today, that is exactly where I would have wanted my family to be, in the parade. I am sure that when Hyatt hears that you were there she will be so happy to know that Sydney got to attend this event with her class.
Continued thoughts and prayers for you all.
I was in the parade today as well, walking right along side you and your family. Sidney looked so happy to be there. I agree that Hyatt would have wanted her and you there. Amazing to me as well how you all are holding up during all of this. We will continue to pray for her recovery and for your family's strength.
Hey Troy, It was good seeing you with Sidney today at the parade as well as Rebekah and granparents. We were also touched by seeing all the children and adults wearing a purple ribbon. Some one gave us some to wear and hand out. We plan to take them to church tomorrow. Melissa left for work wearing one. We continue to pray hard. Love, Deb and John
Still, and always, praying for healing, strength, and peace for Hyatt and your family.
As a young mother myself, I know that Sidney and Rebekah are Hyatt's greatest treasure and joy. It sounds like the "normalcy," strength, and comfort provided to them by Troy and other loved ones during this time would make Hyatt proud. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Troy, I know I've only met you a couple of times. I am a friend of Hyatt's from Middle/High School. I heard about Hyatt about 4 days ago and have been very sad about what has happened to her. I am thinking about you and her constantly. I have never prayed for anything this much before in my life. I pray constantly throughout the day that Hyatt will come back. I even say "Come on Hyatt. Come back to your kids and husband. You can do it." As if she can hear me. I really love Hyatt. She has always been such a great and fun person to be with. I am very lucky to have been included in her circle of close friends throughout Middle and High School. I have been thinking of how we worked on class projects together, hung out with Leah, Meghan and Anne. Once we went to Myrtle Beach together with some friends and had a great time. I met you at our High School reunion in 2001. I was the pregnant blonde. It was so great to talk with Hyatt. Hyatt always talked so fondly of you. She told me how you are the love of her life. She had accomplished all of her education and career goals. I really admired her determination. I remember when she was in High School and she would tell me how her Mom was all over her about getting her homework done and not going out until it was completed. Clearly, all of that hardwork paid off. It looks as if she has the perfect life and I want her to come back and enjoy the rest of it with you and the girls. Hopefully she and God are talking it out and she is only on hiatus for a few weeks. Please tell her I love her and she had better wake up!!! I will continue to pray for all of you. Love, Christi Konchar Seidle
I'm kin to a friend of a friend of a friend and was sent this blog link a few days ago. Hyatt's story has really touched my heart and I'm keeping up with events as they unfold. I'm not a religious person, but am sending healing energy for Hyatt's full recovery. All the best to your family and friends during this difficult time.
I am one of the teachers at Sydney's preschool. I marched in the parade today along side the family. I was wearing a purple boa in honor of Hyatt. We begin each preschool day with a prayer for Hyatt and your family and many other prayers go up during a course of a day....we are all keeping you close in our thoughts and prayers.
Alan,
Jennifer again from NC. I have been thinking and praying so much for Hyatt, Troy, the girls and the family. I was wondering about the eyes question I had before. You said she is following people from one side of the room to another. Does this mean only when she "awakens" or are her eyes open all the time? Also will we know in detail the results from the MRI and the other test performed yesterday? Thank you again for keeping us all informed. Sending kisses and bear hugs from Greensboro, NC.
Jennifer
My sister in law told me of her friend Hyatt and this terrible event that has occurred last week along with a link to this blog. I have continued every day to read the updates hoping for Hyatt's own entry thanking everyone for their support. I still pray for that day. I said many prayers for this family in church tonight and hope that she wakes up soon and comes back to those babies and wonderful husband.....god bless you all and pray for the healing....
Hello there, I don't know your wife or your family, however a mom in the Bristow moms club has told me about your situation and since I have been religiously reading this blog and praying. Your family and Hyatt has been in all my waking thougths, as a mother of 2 myself I am just awestruck at how you are dealing with this Troy, you are being given amazing strength and he is helping to sustain...keep in your faith as the Lord is great and he will renew your strength. I just wanted you all to know that at church tonight we prayed not only for your healing but the restoration of Hyatt...Our God is an awesome who can and will take care of your needs...much love...
