Persnickety Thicket

Our deepest gratitude to my husband's employer... the beautiful Sight family. They've been more than a company to us these almost 3 decades my husband was with them, they quickly became his and our family too. We have been very blessed.

Please forgive me for the delay in posting memorial information. https://www.midamericalive.com//02/obituary-troy-shatto.ht

Troy's covid battle is over. We lost our beloved, yesterday morning. God called him home. I know my husband touched many lives... if, he knew you... I guarantee, he loved you... and everyone was a potential friend. He had an enormous love for people. That's just the way he was. He would want you all to know how much he cared. ... Memorial service will be announced soon. I can't talk any more about this right now. I'm sorry. Thank you all so much for your love, support and prayers. Xoxo Teresa

Covid Update, Jan. 23rd Wanted to update on Troy's condition. My husband is in very critical, yet stable condition, in the ICU. This past week, his condition roller coastered, rallied briefly, and then deteriorated suddenly to the point he had to be ventilated/ intubated. He has had numerous complications. His condition has been both up and down since being put on the vent... some days he holds steady, other days...his condition changes hourly.... Troy is currently holding steady, and they (his medical team) are cautiously optimistic. That we are at a cautiously optimistic place, is considered nothing short of miraculous by a few medical people... I agree. We are thankful he is still here with us. Our sweetheart is still in very rough shape, he is still battling to survive. His medical team is amazing and doing everything they can. We ask for more and continued prayers. We believe prayers have been heard. We ask that if you are a praying person, please don't let up. We pray, that it is the good Lord's will, that Troy will be healed and ultimately restored to us. We pray that is his plan. We love all of you for caring. Many people have asked what they can do... just pray for Troy, please. Thank you so much.

Covid Update My apologies to everyone for not updating before now. Events have really kept me on my toes. So diving right in... Troy remains very seriously ill with covid (he is still in the hospital) but he is actively (with fiery determination) fighting it! We see positive developments in his battle. We (family & medical team) are very optimistic about his progress! Proud of him....as mentioned, my husband is a fighter!... We thank everyone for the outpouring of love and support... and prayers! You all are incredible. We believe your prayers have made a difference... and still are. Please keep them coming! I have cleared the covid finally. So thankful! But, I'd switch places with my husband in a heartbeat. Please keep him in your thoughts & prayers. Thank you again to the wonderful people who stepped in and rehomed birds to lighten my load... it made all the difference. I have no regrets and you all have my gratitude! I'm excited for you all, on your new journey together (birds and people both.) I'll update again soon! Thank you all! Please keep the prayers going! Much love all, more soon.
