Hello Mallory and Lisa...I hope you two are having a good day...at least a better day.  I love you all so much and can"t wait to see you all again.   I am glad you had a good Easter...We have everyone praying for all of you and for Alex too.  I know you will be out of the hospital soon...Just keep eating like a little pig  or maybe it should be hog  (they eat more than pigs...ha) and keep your strength up and  maybe you"ll be out of there in a few days.  Just know how very much you are loved.

God Bless you all...Maw Maw 

Good morning Mal!  Tmac and I hope you had a good night and slept well.  You are in our thoughts today.  Hope all numbers are where they should be!!!  We will keep Alex in our prayers today. 

hugs from the Macs 

Miss Mal-

What a BUMMER, you are still at the hospital. I am sending prayers that you can

run away soon!! I also mentioned prayer for Alex at church sunday. You are both

special to the world!!! Love you guys bunches - The Maulden"s

Lisa, I keep up with Mal and Alex by reading your journal.  All of you are in my prayers also, please pray for us.  Annie is up and down constantly.  I just wanted you to know, is case you haven"t heard, the drug heparin has been recalled due to some problems discovered with some of the production of it.  May not be any you are using but wanted you to be aware of it.

Jeanette  

We owe you many emails Mal!!!  So sorry we haven"t written again sooner.

I"m going to call your mom to get the update but Tmac and I hope you are bouncing out of there soon.  Please give our prayers and love to Alex if you get a chance to visit him.  He must be an amazingly strong person.

Hugs from the Macs.

Hi Sweetie,

  Just wanted to send you a little note. I check the website everyday to see how you and Alex are doing. I sure want your itching and shoulder pain to go away!!!  I pray for you and Alex everyday.

Have a blessed Good Friday.

Love you lots,

Aunt Robin

Just checking on you, Mal.  Sorry to hear you"re back in the hospital.  That itching thing has got to be driving you crazy.  Sure hope you feel better soon.  Hopefully, the Easter Bunny will make his rounds this weekend!  Happy Easter!

Perry and Susan Warren

Hey Mal & Lisa,

I hope you were able to get some sleep last night!!  Praying that your day will be great & pain free. Mal, you must feel better so that you can enjoy all the Easter candy.  There is one good thing about all hospital gift shops. (They have good candy!!)  Speaking of candy thanks for your tip about eating a pixy stix after taking nasty medicene.  I have two sick kids at home and we had to use the pixy stix trick and it did help!!  Thanks for sharing your life with others.  You are a true inspiration!               

The flu bug has hit South Georgia hard so please be extra careful!!

Jeannie Fuller

Hi Mallory,

I am so sorry to hear Alex is having a tough time.  I know your decorations will lighten the load.  Prayers for Alex to keep pushing forward and get over this latest hurtle.

Now for our Miss Mallory I do hope those IV fluids do the trick and get you home before Sunday.  Family together is always a time of JOY at Easter.  How proud you must be for your brother.  You all have so much to celebrate. 

Praying for the shoulder to stop hurting and the pain melt away.  I know it must be hard to pin point all the causes.  I pray that you"ll wake up and all this itching will have ceased!!  You are an amazing young lady!!!  Blessingsfrom Powder Springs,

Hello Miss Mallory,

Hope you felt better as the day went on...Sending the very best of wishes your way...

xox,

Dr. J

I hate it that you are not feeling well, but Longhorn"s sounds really good.  We are all thinking of you and hoping you get better and can go home soon.

Keep your spirits up.  We will keep sending up the prayers.

Hey sweet angel! I hope you have great day  full of healing and happiness! I just wanted to tell you that I"m praying and thinking about you. I"m really sorry you are having to go through this. You are such a strong, wonderful person. You are my inspiration everyday.

Love and Prayers always,

Rhonda Putnam

p.s. Lisa, I miss your pretty, smiling face. I hope to see soon.

You know you are famous when you have your colon discussed on the internet.  I bet Jennifer Anniston does not even get this kind of press coverage.

Seriously, concentrate on getting that itching under control.  It is a pain and we want it to go away.  It reminds me of the two cats on the Simpson"s named Itchy and Scratchy who were always trying to kill each other on the cartoon that Lisa and Bart would watch.  They were mean and annoying just like this itching thing is for you.

Congrats Michael on all of your success.  Prayers for Alex to get better soon. Mallory, I hope the easter bunning brings you a "get out of hospital free" card.

Mal,

  I love you and am thinking about you!  Tell Michael congratulations!

Dear Mal,

  Our family continues to keep you in our daily prayers.  I check on you first thing each morning through your website.  Bridget also keeps us up to date on your progress.  Hang in there!  You are so very special!  We do pray that the itchies go away!!!!!

Hey, brave little girl!  What a fighter you are.  Were you ever in the Golden Gloves?

Thanks to you and your wonderful Mom for keeping us up to date on you and Alex.  Prayer works wonders.  You and Alex are on prayer chains all over the world.  Just think about that!  Isn"t that wonderful?

Keep your chin up.  I check in on you twice a day, at least.

Happy Easter early.

Hey Mallory,

I am so glad that your numbers are staying stable.  That is half the battle at times....all that adjustment on one"s meds.  You are continually in my thoughts and prayers.  Right now, I am busy studying for an astronomy test tomorrow.  Something you will soon be doing.  :)  Keep up the good work, and remember God is always there with you.  It is so awesome to know that we do not have to go it alone!!!  He is our continual strength 24/7!!!

Heather :)

p.s.  Alex is in my prayers too. 

Hi Mallory,

I"m glad that you liked the package and that it cheered you up a bit. You are definately a princess. When i was in hospital for ages in 2006 they called me the princess of Todd Ward. Lol! Hang in there sweetie, i know things will get better for you soon. I know how frustrating it is. I"m praying so hard for you that your pain and itching all go away and also for your friend Alex. I am so sorry that he is going through such a tough time, hopefully soon he will turn a corner.

Miss mal,

I hope this recent setback you are having is short-lived. I also pray that Alex gets better soon - I hate he is going through this struggle. You guys let me know if The Maulden"s can help in any way - just ask!! love you guys!!!

Hi Mallory:

You are always in our prayers at our home in Kennesaw.  I have never met you, however, I teach at Kennesaw Mountain High School.  You are a true warrior!  Keep fighting Mal...I look forward to meeting you some day.

Mallory,

Stay strong.  I am praying that this will be a short stay this time.  Hopefully they will finally figure out what is causing your itching. 

Melissa Graydon

Hey Mal!  Just wanted you to know that we are thinking of you and praying that you are back home soon.  We actually have clinic this Wednesday.  It has been three whole months!!!  We pray that you are gone by then but if not we will stop by to see you.  We are also praying for Alex.  Does he have a carepage or website?  If not, ya"ll always do a great job of letting us know.

Happy St. Patrick"s Day!!

God bless, Laurie Whitfield

Mallory,

We"ve never met but I check your website daily. I work in the foundation at Children"s and heard about your story through Steven Wagner. So many of us here are so inspired by you! Many of us gather around to read how you are doing and you help remind us what we"re working for here. I"m keeping you and Alex in my prayers. I hope your itching fades soon...I know that must be a pain! Does Alex have a website similar to yours? We"d love to keep up with how he is doing as well. Let us know if there is anything we can do for you and thanks again for reminding us why we"re so lucky to work for Children"s.

Best, Katie H.

Hey Mallory and Lisa!  I hated to hear that you are back at Egleston, but it sounds like you have everything under control.  I am happy to hear that that they are trying to find the source of this itching.  That is not fun at all.

We are saying extra prayers for Alex.  He is such a sweet boy and we hope he feels better soon.

Happy St. Patrick"s Day!

Happy St. Patty"s Day Mallory!!

I hope this hospital stay is very short & the itching goes away soon!!  I"m sad to hear that Alex is not doing well, hopefully he will get to feeling better soon and ya"ll both will be out of the hospital before you know it!!

Makenzie got her Team Mal shirt on Friday, she put it on immediately and didn"t take it off till Saturday.  She loves it. She also asked my mom if she could get a Team Mal tank top!  Mom had to tell her it only comes in a tee shirt!! :)

We love ya"ll so much & think about ya"ll all of the time!

Love, Lawanda  

Hey Mal!

I"ve been trying to keep up with what"s going through this site.  Haven"t checked it in a few days and now your in the hospital! Goodness girl!  I hope all is well, from the sound of it it"s just bumps in the road.  Bless your heart....you are such a strong girl!  Hang in there! I miss you and love you! Keep your chin up!\

Loves and hugs!

Nicole
