HI Mallory,

It"s such wonderful news that you  are getting all those good numbers at clinic. How"s school going?  Please be sure to bundle up today and the rest of the week. It"s is going to be COLD walking to your classes. Prayers for you and all the goals you have made for "09. 

Do you remember that little song..."This Little light of Mine, I"m gonna let it Shine"?  I think with you and Katherine standing together we"d be able to get a sunburn!! You two girls will truly continue to shine in "09!!  What an inspiration you both are to so many. God Bless You and all your loved ones. Peace and Grace, Diane

Hey Mallory,  

My name is Katie , and I live in Dallas,TX.  I"m actually in nursing school right now, one more class to go before I can get my RN, I was looking for a cartoon picture of a nurse for a project I"m working on when I came across your site.  Well , from 11-1am last night I looked at your pics and read the two parts to your amazing story! Then, I spent all day today reading your mothers journal entries starting from the first one. WHEW! my eyes are so sore and my shoulders are sooo tense, but it was like reading  a great  novel, I just couldn"t put it down! Your mom is so sweet for taking the time every single day to document, this incredible journey you are going through, and for always keeping your friends, family, and loved ones updated. It is always so nerve racking when a good friend or family member isn"t doing so well and you can"t get any information. Anyways, I really just thought that was so amazing and i  really couldnt stop reading! Also, Another part of the site I thought was very cool, was the part with all your pictures. You are very brave for wanting to see how you looked after your operation! And for showing the rest of the world! Your confidence is very inspiring! I"m so glad to see your numbers are doing well and how amazing you look! Your glowing! Your story really inspires me and I really want to thank you and your mother and the rest of your family and friends for documenting it and sharing it with the world.

Stay strong, Keep doing well, and keep your head up!

You and your family are in my prayers!

THANK YOU FOR THE INSPIRATION!

Hey my sweet angel!! I bet you thought I"ve forgotten you. Well of course I haven"t. Things have just been so crazy during the holidays. It sounds as if you had a great Christmas and New Year. And what wonderful news about your labs. What a way to start out this great year. I believe this will be your year to shine even brighter than you already do. I love the new pictures. You just keep getting more beautiful all the time. I really can"t wait to see you again. And always remember I check on you everday and send up lots of prayers. You are so very special to me.

Love and Prayers forever and ALWAYS

Rhonda

Mallory I wish you a Happy Healthy New Year and will keep you in my prayers. You are the bravest little girl I have ever met.

What great news from the Smith family!!  You truly had a super Christmas together this year.  Keeping you all in my prayers.  Mallory, I know you will have a wonderful year ahead. Praying for you to get stronger and stronger each month! Wishing you a Very Happy New Year Celebration this week. Your Mom is so correct...you have so much to be thankful for at the end of 2008! I will check on the other kiddos. Sending my love, Diane

Hey Mallory! So sorry it has taken me so long to respond, but my head is spinning a little bit these days, and I have been searching the wrong website for you!  Anyways, Yes, Caroline did receive your Curious George and she loves it!  She actually already had one, but was so happy to get another just like it and refers to them as the BoBo brothers from Go Diego Go!  She likes to put them in troublesome places and mischief, just like in the cartoon.  That was so very sweet of you to connect with her that way.  Your Mom and you have been wonderful resources and friends to us.  There is comfort in knowing that ya"ll completely understand the situation with no words having to be spoken or explanations given.  Bless your sweet spirit and giving heart!

XXOO, Heidi and Caroline Clayton

Merry Christmas to all the Smiths.....God Bless You today and always.

Blessings for the New Year too!!  2009....Mallory"s year to Shine!!!

Lots of Love, Diane

Hi Mallory:

I have followed your journey with interest and concern and am so thankful that you are doing so well.  God works in mysterious was and I feel he has a special purpose for your life.

I hope you, Michael, Lisa and Mike all have a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year.

Merry Christmas Smith family!  What a great gift you have this year with Mallory feeling better and not in the hospital.  Mallory"s story is what this season is about - miracles.

Merry Christmas to Doug and Izzie"s families.  I know your loved one could not be with you this year, but please find some comfort that their spirit lives on in Mallory"s life. When that time comes for me, I hope my organs are as lucky to find such a special person.  God bless you and thank you for the ultimate gift of life.

Remember: don"t take your organs with you to Heaven. 

Heaven knows we need them here.

It is great for you to get such a good report. I truly wish for you in 2009 to have an even better year and for you and your family to have a wonderful blessed Christmas, even though it will be different this year.  You all know better than anyone that life is about change and how we respond to it  can make all the difference.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Hey Mal,

Glad to hear you are feeling great.  The boys and I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas.

Good Morning Mallory! I hope you and Jude are feeling really good! Poor little Jude, he has had alot going on. But he has a great caretaker. Praying they will get to the bottom of your kidney problems. My daughter Malena has had kidney issues all of her life. But she is doing great and as you know is expecting my first little grandchild. God has blessed us in so many ways. And you are such a  blessing to me sweet angel. Have a GREAT day and come see me soon!

All my love and prayers always and forever,

Rhonda

P.S. Hey to my GF Lisa!!!

So great to hear!  We know you did fabulous on your final because you are so smart!  You are just so AWESOME!  You can do anything!  Do you have to go to clinic this coming Wednesday?  Avery has to go to hopefully have her PICC line removed!!  She had two negatives on her CMV!!!

We will continue to pray for Caroline, Dominque and Valerie.  I wept last week when I read Heidi"s update about Caroline.  It is such a blessing from above that we have the" Liver Families" to be there because we all know the pain that these children go through, unfortunately some more than others.  God will see them through just like he has precious Mallory!  We love you sweet girl!

Love,

Laurie

Hello Mallory!!!!

ALL my love and prayers forever,

Rhonda

All great news on the numbers.  I know you will do great on your finals this week, but extra prayers going up for good numbers there too! 

I"m so glad you got to go to the game to cheer on your team.  Even if the outcome was not what you wanted it to be you were there, feeling good, and having a great time in seat number...17! I"m not a college football fan, but true fans should feel good about Bama"s season and what they accomplished.  I have a feeling you have some more great games in the future.

Thanks and prayers again to Doug and Izzie"s family for the wonderful gift.

Way to go Sweet Girl!  We are so proud of you!  We always know that the best is yest to come out of you.  You never cease to amaze all of us. 

God bless,

The Whitfield"s

Hey Mallory! I just got through reading all of your updates for the past 2 months.Wow! You"ve been through so much and still you seem to have the best attitude and spirit! You"re such a special person and inspiration to our family. We are constantly keeping you lifted in our prayers and Kaden says a special prayer for you as well. We love you and hope to see you soon!

Mallory

I am so glad to hear that you are feeling Great.  Even though I bleed red and black for my Dawgs I was kind of pulling for Bama Saturday night.  It"s always great to be a Gator Hater.  Oh well,  yes I think Bama is back with Saban.  It is very scary for us Dawgs.  I hope you continue to feel great and I think and pray about you all the time.  Have a Merry Christmas if I don"t get a chance to post again.  Say hi to your mom for me.

Donnie Arrowood

Hey Mallory!
