Hyatt is 35 years old today. What I wouldn't give for just one more day to interact with her and hold her and touch her.
I held Bek tonight when she woke ... Got her back to sleep and then cried. She might not ever get to talk to her mama - to laugh with her - to cry with her.
It is all so unimagineable
I don't have the words right now - it seems like I always have some when I'm with her - but they go away when I leave her.
Thanks to everyone who is praying for her and helping us ... I am still stunned by the outpouring of love and support.
Troy.
How long has it been since ....

I (Troy's brother Pete) have opened this site to provide updates for friends and family on Hyatt's condition. As a warning, there will be explicit details on her condition and some posts may not be for the feint of heart. Troy has asked that I do this, so that someday (soon!) Hyatt can read the details of exactly what happened.

Today is Jamie's birthday too. She is ONE. I had totally forgotten they shared this special day. We'll light an extra cupcake for sweet Hyatt.

Happy Birthday Hyatt!! We are all still thinking of you, praying for you, and holding you, Troy and the girls close to our hearts!
Happy Birthday Hyatt!
Be Well Soon!
Happy birthday, Hyatt! Come back to Troy and the girls soon!
Happy Birthday to Hyatt. Let the children celebrate Mama's birthday. Still praying for Hyatt as well as for all family members. My problems seem small to me compared to what you are going through. I am a friend of a relative of a neighbor. Your plight has resulted in far-reaching concern. Iris Payne
Although I don't know Hyatt personally, I've been reading the updates on this site for weeks. Imagine my surprise to learn from today's update that we share a birthday. As I blow out the candles on my birthday cake tonight with my family, my wish will be for Hyatt's health and full recovery so she can be home with her family. Tanya
Happy Birthday, Hyatt! I will light a birthday candle in her honor and make a wish for her tonight.
Troy, I saw a card once that said "sometimes there are no words...only love." Your love for Hyatt and your girls overflows--you are doing an amazing job. Hang in there.
To Hyatt's parents, who I am sure remember the day she was born as if it was yesterday--how lucky the world became when Hyatt arrived 35 years ago. Thank you for blessing all of us with your beautiful daughter.
Happy Birthday Hyatt! May we all sing to you and make a wish for you on this day. xoxoxo JW
Happy Birthday, Hyatt. Our prayers are with you and Troy and your beautiful daughters. God bless you and keep you.

You are all in my prayers. Please call me if I can help in any way!!

Troy, my heart breaks for you and your family. Even if Bek doesn't get to know Hyatt in the traditional sense, she will have soaked up the force of her love 24/7 until Hyatt just couldn't show it any more. That said, never underestimate a mother's, or a father's, love. Hyatt will be doing everything in her power - forever - to shower love on your two girls, even if they are unaware of it.
Jane, Hyatt, Troy, Sidney and Bekah,
All of you continue to be in my thoughts and prayers daily.
Hyatt, Happy Birthday.
Jane, we miss you at Peace Church.
Love in Christ, Yvonne S.
Happy Birthday Hyatt! I hope you have many more happy birthdays....
Happy Birthday, Hyatt! We are praying for your complete recovery. Your husband and children love you so much. I know you must feel their love all around you. Troy, know that all of us are still in constant prayer for you and the children and your parents and hers. I know it must be so hard. Hang in there, and keep the faith. As one of my cousins always says who suffers daily with health issues, " B+ " (Be positive!) She wears this slogan on her shirts now.

Troy,
Take heart. Regardless of what happens, your words will still be there. They may be tapped down for a bit, but they will be there. Your voice is strong and your words are caring.

Hyatt-
This is for you on your 35th birthday, darlin'....if it seems irreverent...oh, well...we'll sing it together when you get better!
"Pump up the jam, pump it up, while your feet are stompin', and the jam is pumpin', look ahead the crowd is jumpin', pump it up a little more, get the party going on the dance floor, see that's where the party's at and you'll find out if you do that..."
Hyatt, you're awesome! You let me be me. Come back to your family, Sweetie!!
Joey
Hyatt,
I just finished listening (again) to you singing "Jump and Jive" and I am smiling (again) just hearing your voice.
The Hymel's are so blessed to have the Nolan's in their lives. We may live in another state, but you and Troy are touching us each day.
Hyatt, we are all praying for your recovery and return to your family and home.
Troy and Girls, we are praying for your continued strength.
We love you.
Kent, Janet and Avery
Troy and Family - Just want you to know that you're in our thoughts and prayers every day. I never met you all but worked with Hyatt at the EPA when she did a rotation with us in the State and Local Branch. We also shared SPEA in common, and I believe she and my husband - Martin - overlapped there. I have one of Hyatt's CDs and will treasure it more than ever now. Every night, when my two children (2 and 4 years old) - and I - say our prayers, we include a special wish for Hyatt's recovery. We are in the process of moving overseas to Uganda, where Martin has been for the past 2 months. We will continue to pray hard for you there and hope to see good news on this blog soon. BIG HUGS from Kampala - Lia, Ben, Eva Wong and Martin Fodor
Happy 35th Hyatt! I've been away from the blog for about a week now, because I could no longer bear to read the updates. I find that even TV reminds me of her. Recently an episode of House involved someone in a coma, and I broke down sobbing. I continue to pray, and hope for the miracle that we all so desperately need. Troy, your faith truly is an inspiration. I pray regularly for your strength. Rhonda (Hunt) Rollins, Proud Member of the Best Friends Club
How blessed Hyatt is to have all of you in her life, and how blessed you are to have Hyatt in yours. She has given you all a great gift. She has united and touched those she loved and those she never even met. God bless Hyatt and all of you, and grant you peace in this unexpected journey in God's plan.
I saw a women who resembled Hyatt today. She had two babies, both around the age of Syd and Bek. It put a huge lump in my throat and almost made me cry. I had to tell myself to stop starring. It was a great feeling to see a glimpse of Hyatt walking with her girls (again) in a park on such a beautiful day.
I said a prayer right there and felt the warmness in my heart. I know your there Hyatt so please just come back to us! We love you and we miss you! I miss your laugh and your lil' snort too! JW
Troy,
You are in our prayers as you care for your girls, care for Hyatt, and face daily challenges. Also praying for your team of angels who are providing meals, helping with the girls, and making life easier in the midst of its greatest difficulties--I think Hyatt would be so grateful and proud. Hang in there.
God bless you and your girls and Hyatt, of course. I look everyday and hope that Hhas gotten better; I just want you to know how many people are praying for a miracle.
Troy,
I continue to pray for you and the whole family. I miss Hyatt so much. Please give " Miss Purple" a huge hug and kiss. I hope you were able to do something for you, her, and the girls on her birthday. Those little celebrations will always continue and Thank God they never stop giving us joy.
Also, Troy-I hope you received the Birthday card for Hyatt from Jen Whitlow and I in the mail. I sent it to your home address instead of the Bristow's Mom's Club's P.O. Box- sorry. I've also been having issues with my mail here at my house-so please let me know if you didn't receive it. I know you are probably still overwhelmed with everything, I apologize, but if youcould just shoot me a quick e-mail and let me know, thanks so much. Please try to take care of yourself in the midst of all the goings-on. E-mail me at sraleahwalker-hernandez@yahoo.com.
Love and God's Peace,
Leah Walker-Hernandez
Troy and Hyatt,
Last time we met, it was your wedding day. Troy cried when Hyatt recited: "... to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward ..." and many of us were moved to tears, while Hyatt was looking into Troy's eyes full of love. We poked a lot of fun at you that day, Troy. But we all know deep in our heart that we just witnessed a great moment of love...
Now, years late. You two haven't changed a bit...
Today, on my way to work, I saw a man flying a beautiful red R/C airplane in an open field. It must have felt so good... Troy, it is disheartening to see how sad you are. I would imagine how happy Hyatt would be to see you and the girls flying your airplanes free like a bird.
Best Wishes, Tingfang
Troy,
It has been a while since I posted, but please know that many people in Pennsylvania continue to pray for your strength and a miracle for Hyatt.
Each week at mass our parish prays a Prayer for Peace; since Hyatt's incident, each time we pray that prayer in particular it always brings your family to my thoughts. I feel strongly that now is the time to share this with you and the other blog readers as maybe others can say this prayer for you and your family.
Prayer for Peace
Lord, be with us, so that we might not look forward in fear to the changes in life. We are your very own and we believe that you will lead us safely through all things; And when we cannot stand it, you will carry us in your arms. May we not fear what will happen tomorrow. You are our everlasting Parent, who cares for us today, and we believe that you will care for us every day. Lord, either shield us from suffering, or give us the unfailing strength to bear it. May we be at peace and so put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations. Through Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Family like us, we ask this now and forever. Amen
Troy, I do believe you have been blessed with this unfailing strength as you go through this difficult time. Please know that you continue to have an army of friends, family, and people you've never met praying for you, your girls and your beautiful Hyatt. Hang in there Troy and God continue to Bless You!
Happy 35th Birthday Hyatt....I hope that you get better soon. My heart goes out to your family. I am still thinking and praying for you and your family....
