Lisa,

I feel your pain as a mother.  I of course have questioned God many, many times with Avery.  I have noticed the same as you...Through this journey He continues to show me how good comes from those who suffer and struggle for others.  Our children are special gifts.  There are chosen by Him for a special purpose. 

Mallory is an amazing person and all of us are so blessed by knowing her.  I know she makes you so proud everyday.  She encourages so many people with her willingness to fight.  I know some days are so tough and we can"t imagine how Mallory deals with it.  She is blessed to have you just as you are to have her.  God doesn"t make mistakes and you were chosen for her as well.  We will continue to lift all of you up in prayer.  Praying for better days ahead.

With much love,

Laurie

I know Mal and all of you are Roll Tide ready!!! (Hope it made you smile.)

Mallory,

You have always been so wise beyond your years and yes, I think God "gave" you this journey because he knew you and your family could handle it and he knew you would do good things with it. I know it is still sometimes so hard but I still beleive he has good things in store for you and has blessed you in so many ways.

Now about your mom and dad. they are so amazing and awesome and I can"t imagine your journey without them there to cheer you on. You spent a lot of time cheering for others and now it is time for us all to cheer you on and we love you so much!

think positive thoughts about this new medicine. i hope it is goodbye prograf forever!

Hello Mallory and Lisa,

Mallory you are exactly right about "why you" and Lisa I understand your thoughts from a mothers point of view.  Both of you have been great through this entire journey.  You have been so positive, so encouraging and wonderful believers.  You continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.  God has done amazing things through you and I believe he will continue to do so.  We love you all very much!

Rene" Dollar

Hey Mal, just wanted to tell you that we prayer for you all the time.  We know that there has been many bumps you have endured.  We pray that this new medicine is the miracle drug we have been praying for.

We pray that your labs will be so much better on Friday.  We love you very much and are so proud of you.

Steve, Kim and Cynthia

Hey my sweet angel! I wish I could put into words just how amazing I think you are. You have taught me so much about life, courage, love and faith. He picked you because you"ve not only done this for me, you"ve done it for so many many others. He has a purpose for everthing and He put you into my life for a reason. And oh how blessed I am for knowing you. You have impacted my life in so many ways. When I was growing up, my mother was my hero and role model. She was so much like you with her courage and faith. When she was called home to heaven, it left a really big hole in my heart. And then God sent you to fill that hole. A new hero for me to look up to and learn from. Mallory there are so many bible verses that come to mind tonight, but I know you know them. Thank you for being all the things you are to me. I love you more than I can put into words. I will keep the faith right along with you sweetie.

All my love and prayers forever and always, Nana

p.s. love you bnff!!

Hi Mallory,

We are long lost cousins, I think, anyway relatives somehow.  Just wanted to let you know we lift you up in our prayers.  We don"t know all that you are going thru or what you have been thru but we do know that you are a strong young lady and very loved from your family and friends.  Take care and God Bless you.  Love Keliree & Steve

Hey Girl!

Just wanted to say Hey!! Your mom is right--you are someone to be proud of.  Anyone else in your situation would Debbie Downer (and rightly so).  Not you.  You just keep on fighting and pushing through.  What can I say?  I am blessed to have you and your family in my life.  Keep it up.  All of us will be there for you every step of the way...

I LOVE YOU, MALLORY!! Along with half of America, and thousands of others all over the world. You will remain on my prayer list always. I trust that God will rectify things and you can continue to win souls for HIM. You are such a bright light of hope in Jesus for so many people. I hope you know that.

Your grandmaws" whole family (the nit-wits) all love you and are praying for you. Yes, we are a bunch of goof-balls, but God knows that laughter is the best medicine for everything. That"s why HE made us that way. HE knew we all would have a lot of hard times faceing us. So HE gave us a sense of humor. Ha! Ha! Ha!

If for some reason you don"t believe me take a good long look at your granny Kitty the next time you see her. I promise you will burst out laughing!!!!!

God Bless You each and Everyday in Yours and Izzys" walk with HIM!!!!

MY thoughts and Prayers Go With You Always!

Ann Brumfield

Hey Mal,

So you got some pretty rough news today - but knowing you, you will take it all in stride and prove to everyone how great your faith is in our awesome Lord.

He picked you for a reason - and I personally am much closer to him and I hope a better person from know not only you but your wonderful family. I have adopted you all into my life and we are so much richer from knowing you!

Just remember we love you and pray for you daily - just keep your faith strong and he will deliver.

See you on Sunday - we are coming to church to hear your testimony and yes I already have my tissue packed!!

Love you sweetie!!

Lisa,

That is one wise young lady you have there. We are all given  a path in life and must make the best of it. Some of us get to show others how it is done.

Mallory will certainly be up for her next challenge. She is a fighter. Will be thinking of her and looking forward to your next post with improved labs.

I was originally on prograf and cellcept. Then was switched to only rapamune. Now almost 5 years out I had to add the cellcept back about 2 years ago.

So Mal, keep that beautiful smile on that face and keep your spirits on good times. This shall pass in no time.

Jeff

Hey Sweetie!

I"m sorry your numbers are a little off. I"m in constant prayer for you honey. I just know they will be better next week. As you well know the power of prayer is an amazing thing. I love you so much and I"m always here for you Mallory.

All my love and prayers forever and alwasy, Nana

Love you Mal....praying for lower numbers next time.

Robin & Frank

Good luck with school this fall!  We know that you will do well because you are one determined person who is a GREAT example to us all!  Is it too soon to say Roll Tide?  I know that always gets you pumped!!!!

Lots of love,

Laurie

Mallory,

Great news with the reduction of meds. Best of luck on the start of your studies. You rock.

Hi Mallory !

Great News !!!!!!!! So happy for you !  Love. Inga.

Today is my bday and I couldn"t have asked for a better gift!!  Between your news and little Miss Caroline"s I am having a great day!  So happy for you, Mal.  You so deserve it!  We will keep praying for ya!

Lots of love,

Laurie

LOVE YOU SO MUCH MALLORY!!!!!

Nana Rhonda

The update from the Dr. sounds positive, even while it doesn"t tell you exactly what you need to know.  The good thing is that it doesn"t tell you that you are having rejection, which is a good thing.  I know that you would like to have an absolute answer and move ahead with an exact treatment, but you have to remember with what all you"ve been through, complete, absolute answers are probably going to be few and far between.  Do your best to keep that positive attitude that you"ve had all along, far better than most of could ever have had, and expect that your Drs. will be able to figure it out.  After all, they don"t want to look bad.  You are in out prayers daily.  Hang in there, girl.  We are proud to know someone as strong as you.  You have been a good example for all of us.

Hello Angel,  hope your itrching is better and praying for everything to get better for you.  We love you so much. As it is said in First Peter  5:7  Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you...  Things will get better.....we love you dearly.  MAw Maw and Robert

Dear Mallory! 

We are sorry to hear that your new DR. Ram is out of town.......But maybe that is a good thing!  Maybe he is trying to research with some new Dr"s that have worked with liver transplants. Pray that he can come across something new! 

We sure are praying hard for strength for you and your family to get you through this bump in the road.....I sure wish I could be there to take some of the "sticks"  for you.They don"t bother me, but I am sure after 11 it would bother anybody!!!!  You are such a brave young lady, we are all so proud of you!  My church is sure praying hard for GOD to give you all the strength to get over this bump in the road!

I know your school is probably going to start soon so we are hoping that you will feel much better by then!  Keep the faith Honey and just keep praying to God!  Kitty sent me the picture you sent her in the hospital and it is just miraculous how you always have a sweet smile on your face no matter how sick you feel!  My SS Class calls you our Angel! They have all seen your picture so they definetly know who they are praying for!!!! Keep the updates coming, we check every day!

God Bless You And Yours!!!!!!!  We love ya, hugs & Kisses!

Hey girl!

I just wanted to let you know that I am praying for you.  :)  I will give you a call soon! 

Heather Snyder :)

Hi Mallory,

I can"t believe it took me this long to figure out your website!!  I"m so glad to be able to get better updates on your progress.  You are always in my prayers.

Love ya,

Cheryl(Angela"s Mom)

So happy to hear there is no rejection!! We were told when they removed Avery"s liver that she tested positive for Autoimmune Hepatitis.  I have read a lot about it but I am still unsure about a lot of course.  I hate that you had to be stuck so many times.  I tell Avery all the time how brave she is and you are as well.  I admire you both tremendously.  Lots of love!

Laurie

Dear Mallory, We are so vvvvvvvery happy to hear that you are not rejecting!!!!!  We sure have been praying hard for you!  Our SS Class is still praying for you every week, even when you are doing well!  You always look so great, even when you are very sick!  We just can"t figure out what your magic is, you always look so normal! I guess it is just because you are naturally just such a beautiful girl, inside & out!

God Bless You & Yours every day!  We love you & check on you every day!

Hey Malli Mal...

  Thank the Lord that there was no rejection!  Woo Hoo!  You will continue to be in my prayers sweet girl (and Izzy too)!!!!

Love you bunches!

xxxooo

Dr. C

YAY!!! NO REJECTION!! Praise the Lord for the great news!  I am so glad that I stopped by tonight to check on you. (insomnia tonight)  We will continue to pray that "Izzie" will straighten up.  I am so sorry that you got stuck so many times. (Yuck!) You and mom will have to go shopping tomorrow to celebrate the good news.

Blessings,

Jeannie

GREAT news about no chronic rejection. And we will just keep praying for them to figure out exactly what is going on. Mallor you amaze me on daily basis on how strong you are. I"m so sorry you got stuck that many times. Believe me when I say I would do it all for you if I could.

I love you so much and can"t wait to see you on Saturday!! YAY!!

All my love and prayers forever and always, NANA

Hey Mal! We are so happy that there is no rejection. We will keep praying for your health and that the Dr"s can figure this out. We love you!

Hi Mallory!  I have to say, that after reading your story and journal I really think you are an amazing young lady!!  I think that this journey you are on is not without purpose, and God has a glorious life planned for you.  Stay strong and our thoughts and prayers are with you, your family, and your doctor.

Thinking of you,
Karen Harding

Mal & Lisa,
