As usual, I go to the Hospital and leave with lots to post here - but I get home, get the kids down, gt dinner, etc ... and I forget all that I wanted to say.
Nothing has substantially changed with Hyatt's condition. I continue to go pray with her every day - and I do get a chance to sleep with my cheek on her hand. It is amazing how peaceful it can feel - whilst forgetting the 800lb gorilla in the room.
I've been floored by the outpouring of support, prayers, help around the house, food, cash donations - people, I can't begin to tell you how supported I feel. Thank you everybody for all that you provide to me and my family - I hope I get to return the favor if any of you need support/friend/an ear....
Allen and I were donating to Verizons coffers (by an extended cell phone conversation) on the way home from the Hospital today. I was telling him that my philosophy for friends is that am available when you need me - day or night - you call, I'm there. I never dreamed that I'd be the one needing that level of help - thank you.

Thanks for the update, Troy. My friends and family ask how Hyatt and you and the girls are all the time. I -- we -- continue to pray, continue to hope, continue to send our love. We know you'd do the same. We're glad we can for you. (And, BTW, if you and Scott never connected, he's available to come and spend a week doing whatever might be useful. I'll be useful by keeping the kids here.) :-)
Dearest Troy:
Our Love and prayers are always with Hyatt, you and your beautiful daughters. I'm glad that Hyatt is so at peace and that you realize this. Don't we all wish we could all experience this in our lives at times. Father Barkett says once our purpose in life is fulfilled "we are out of here" but your work obviously continues on the earthly realm and we pray for continued peace, comfort, love and understanding for you and your family. Hyatt is and will always be a "beautiful" part of your life no matter what the Lord decides. He does not bring sadness into our life but "He" is the one who will get us "through" the sad times . . . and the friend who will never leave us.
With Love and Blessings on the earthly plane and from the heavenly realm above!! May the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Saints and Angels always guide you!! Love and Blessings,
Andi and Bill (and Kelly with "Love and Blessings" from above!!)
We Love You and Your Beautiful Family. We are always here across the fence if you need us.
Much Love, Peace and Prayers,
Margaret, Rich, Lindsey and Jamie Asbell
Troy -
We are praying for your whole family. While I too have been incredibly impressed by the outpouring of support and love, I also know that many of us feel that we just can't do enough...
All our love,
The Raasch's
Thank you for continuing to post. For those of us who have never met you or your family, but now love you all, it is our only way of knowing anything. Still praying...
Troy, its Laura (John and Deb Caskey's daughter)
I always look forward to reading your blog because sometimes I'm not sure what to say to my parents. I see their hearts breaking. I can't begin to imagine what you are going through right now and I want you to know that I have been praying for your miracle. Maybe I'm just not saying it the right way. Please know that I hold a special place in my heart for you and your family. -Laura
Hang in there good buddy. Give the girls a hug for me, and I'll give my big guy an extra hug today, and tell him that I love him. You, and your family, are in my thoughts and prayers.
Troy,
If you lead your life the right way, people are there when you need them. It is clear that you and Hyatt have lived life in a way that has created a circle of support and love around you.
Thank you for taking the time to say thanks. You, Hyatt, and the girls are worth it. I pray for your family everyday, and I cherish mine even more because of your willingness to share your love story with us. Hyatt would be so proud of you.
Troy, you don't know me. I pastor Life Celebration Center (a local church) and live in Braemar. One of the ladies in our church forwarded your blogs to us asking us to pray - which we have started to do. I know that no words are sufficient for such a permeating sadness and accompanying pain. Your blogs have touched me. Just know that we are praying for you and Hyatt and your daughters.
In Christ's love,
David Sanzo
Troy,
You have contributed so much to all of us, even to those of us who don't know your family well. You provide inspirition to have faith, to find the good, to continue on for your girls.... Thank you for sharing yourself, even when it must feel like a huge part of you is asleep.
I just wanted to share, too, that we had talked at the beginning with our 4 year old (who met Sidney one time) about how Sid's mommy was sick and needed our prayers. Today she suggested we say grace at breakfast, which we often forget to do. At the end of our children's grace, our little 4 year old added, "...and please make Sidney's mommy all better." We're all praying for you all. We love you.
Hi Troy- Thank you. I am unsure you realize how much you are helping change each and every one of us that reads these posts. Your perspective and depth of sharing are truly appreciated. Regardless of God's plan for Hyatt, I can say that Jen and I are truly changed by your willingness to talk to us every week via this blog. We pray that peace and comfort will come to you, but know that your words and your message will live on in our hearts and minds. God bless you Troy and God bless Hyatt. Sid is right, mommy is an angel and we hear her message.
Troy, I know what it is like to be on the receiving end of help from gracious people. Take the help. This is the time to accept. Be grateful and gather strength where you can. It is all a season and there will be a time when you can give back. But right now, take what is given and Thank God. We all love you, Hyatt, and the girls. :) -Heidi V.
