Although he had two bullet wounds in his chest, just above the heart, General Hospital doctors expected he would live, Relatives and friends described the couple as “devoted” to each other and their two little girls. But they added Wyatt has heen distressed in recent months because he hasn't been able to meet over £900 in doctor bills,
