Hi All,
I stayed at home last night - only the second time since Hyatt had the cardiac arrest. I woke up and brought the family to church with me. Today the Mass was offered for Hyatt. I got to hold Sid in my arms while worshiping and singing... things that Hyatt is passionate about ... Our church family is so supportive and caring - thank you for all the prayers and well wishes.
After having lunch with Bek and Sid's Godparents and our close friends I headed in to see Hyatt.
She had had a tough day. However, they did change her ventilator settings today to a mode that has her doing more of the breathing work - so I think this is what was causing her increased levels of agitation.
I cried three big times today - once while holding Sid this morning (She said "It's ok to be sad Daddy") - once while my parents visited Hyatt - and once while telling Hyatt goodnight and that I'd see her tomorrow. It is getting a bit easier to face the normal realities of life - but the emotions sometimes come out of the blue.
Clinically, no changes - still in the miracle zone - so pray extra hard. I know she can feel it.
Troy.

Sidney is a little angel...wise beyond her years. What's that saying? Courage is "fear that has said its prayers." Hang on to your courage, faith, and family. We're all praying for you and Hyatt.
We are all praying for you Hyatt, and your amazing family. May the lord bring you strength to heal.
Your family remains in our thoughts and prayers.
I check your blog all day long, hoping for some good news....it breaks my heart every night when I read your blogs and I hear the tiredness and the worry in your words. I am praying for all of you as best as I can, and hope that things will get better (even if it's just a little bit at a time). I pray that you will be able to remain strong for you, your family, and for all that you have already endured, are still enduring, and will need to endure. Honestly, you seem like a very patient person. I feel for you every night that you have to lean over and kiss your wife goodnight, and believe that she can feel as well as hear your love (even more than we all do as we read your notes). You are amazing! May God bless you and your family!!! Here's praying for a GREAT Monday!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just wanted to let you know that family continue to "pray hard" for you, your family and the miracle that Hyatt so deserves.
The St. Therese of the Child Jesus Carmelite community is praying for Hyatt and your family, particularly for a miracle for Hyatt. God bless you.
I want to share an experience that Baby Davis (our 1 year old ) and I had with Sidney. At first I wanted to keep the moment to myself, but now I’d like to share it and maybe it will reassure you, as it has me.
We were able to spend some time with Sidney last Saturday (a week from yesterday) before going to the hospital to see Hyatt. I walked over to ask Sidney if it was okay with her that Davis play with her toys. She looked me straight in the face and said, “Sure!” She then came over to where Davis was plopped, sat down next to him, picked up a book and began to read to him. Davis was mesmerized as if watching a Pooh and Tigger cartoon marathon, as Sidney “read” him a little hardback book. She would look at the picture and “read,” “Davis and Sidney were at a birthday party.” She continued through the book and on the last page she turned the book toward me, and stated, “This is my favorite page. It has ‘amen’ on it.” I smiled and told Sidney what a great reader she was, as she and Davis continued to play.
This past week I’ve been thinking about how Sidney told me about the word “amen.” Today in church our pastor had spent time in the sermon talking about the word “amen” and its meaning..."so be it.” I had never really thought about the word’s meaning other than knowing in sign language that the sign for “amen” and “help” are very similar. I plan to use the word a great deal this week.
May we have the faith of children to believe in the power of God and with every “amen,” firmly believe “so be it!”
Amen, Sidney! Amen!
