I"m so glad we got to come down and see you guys today. We are praying every day for good news.  It was shocking to see Mallory in a room with all of those machines but at the same time comforting that we have the medical technology to be able to work miracles. Only God can truly heal Mallory but he will work through the doctors, nurses, and technology to make her all better.

We love you guys and wish you a very Merry Christmas!

My dear Mal and Smith Family,

Praise the Lord for miracles no matter how small they may be.  God is surely performing them with Mal.  I am still praying very hard that His will is done.  Yes I agree,  it will be WONDERFUL to see Mal"s brown eyes and smiling face again.  With her fight and determination I know it will happen.  My heart is heavy for you family,  but I know that God will wrap arms around you and comfort you all.  Please know that I love you all and praying continually for you. 

Love you all,

Marie McDonald

Im sorry Mal!  I forgot to leave my name, its Angela.  Cory, Makenzie and I came to visit you lastnight.  Love you!  XOXO

Mallory,

We came to visit you lastnight and you looked beautiful as always!  Makenzie had to show your dad that her screensaver on her new phone was TEAM MAL!  We all love you so much and we are still praying for that miracle that I know God will bless us with!  Just very thankful for the gift of life and blessed to be a part of your family.  I know that we live far away but I want to get together and be closer when you get home from the hospital.  Love you and I will check back in with you this evening.  Merry Christmas Eve to you!

Prayers coming from North Carolina for a wonderful Christmas miracle!  Keep on fighting!

I wrote up an entire message on Christmas Eve, wishes and special people.....then I lost it :(  But I know you know~

Best Wishes~

Angel of God, my Guardian dear,
To whom God"s love commits me here,
Ever this day be at my side
To light and guard, to rule and guide.

Amen.

Dear Sweet Mallory,

We are so happy you woke up some today - I know your Mama loved looking into those beautiful brown eyes of yours - you just keep on fighting.

You are such an amazing warrior - never quitting - you just keep on amazing us with your strength and faith.

So sorry we have not been able to come visit this week, both of us have the crud and on antibotics but as soon as we are able we will be right there with you and your beautiful family. We are so blessed to have such good friends as all of you!

We have all been praying for a miracle and it sure looks like it is starting to happen - you are the sweetest, strongest angel I have ever known and our lives have been blessed just knowing you and your family.

Merry Christmas sweet Malwe - we love you and pray for you many times a day! You will truely be amazed to realize how many lives you have touched - it is remarkable - God is good!!

My sweet sweet Mallory. I believe in miracles and I believe in you. I"ve seen what strength and determination you have. You have amazed me time & time again. You have taught me faith & you taught me well. But I know everthing is in God"s timing. So I will wait for his miracle to happen. And then we will give Him the praise and glory together.

And by the way, God picked the best family ever for you. He knew exactly what He was doing when He put you all together as a family. I love them all so much.

Love you with all my  heart Mallory Smith!!!!

Mallory, Lisa and Mike- you are all in my prayers.  Love you, Lacy and Mike Boatfield

Mallory,

I am Jill Leslie Ausmus"s father.  Jill has asked us to pray for you and that is exactly what I did when I received her message.

I hope you feel the presence of everyone lifting you up in prayer.  The ICU experiences are difficult for everyone but we always found that it was our  good friends and people around the world praying that carried us through.

Peace and blessings

David Leslie

Praise God from whom all Blessings flow~~~~~

Thank You Father For each and every blessing no matter how small, or how great. We love you Lord, We trust you Lord, We put all our faith and hope in you O Lord. Thank you for caring for Mallory for us --in Jesus Name--Amen...

Hey Sweet Mallory,

I was so glad to get to spend some time last night with you and your wonderful family.  I love you so much and I am so ready for you to wake up.  I"m glad you are stable that is a step in the right direction.  Keep hanging in there!  Love to all of you!  I love my new Team Mal shirt! 

Love,

Kristen

Hey Mallory! :) I knew you very long ago. We cheered together, well kinda. I cheered my freshmen year for KMHS and you were on the middle school team. I have been keeping up with your blog and just wanted you to know that you are in my prayers. Your faith is very encouraging and reading your story is a blessing in itself. You are such a strong young woman and such a fighter! Keep fighting! Praying for you and your family daily!! God is amazing, and he will see all of you through this!

Mallory:

Great news!!  Prayer works.  As we all get ready for Christmas with our families, my thoughts and prayers are with you at Emory ICU.  May the Lord visit you and your family in a very special way.  Hey, we"re getting snow this weekend so you have to wake up to see it!! 

Glad to hear that mom is taking care of nails and things while you get better.  Hey, a girl"s gotta do what a girl"s gotta do!  Love ya. 

Merry Christmas to all.
