Sounds like all great news and wonderful to hear that Izzie is still as beautiful as when Mal first met her.  Fingers crossed that you can go home!

Just a little detour on the road to recovery.

Good Morning Mallory,

I am praying for great labs today and home this afternoon!!  Great news that Izzie is doing well!  I hope you are feeling better today! 

Love ya,

Kristen

Praying for a speedy recovery!  We hate to hear that you are back in the hospital but hopefully you will go home today.  MaKayla said a prayer for you last night.  We know that you are in the best of hands there and from above.  You are truly one of his special angels!  Lisa, God bless you.  My heart really goes out to you as a mom.  What a courageous women you are!  Thinking of you and your family!

God bless,

Hey there Smith Family! "Preciate y"all letting my hang with you last night. And for the waffle sandwich! A new fav in my book. Glad to hear you"re going home tomorrow. But in all seriousness, you guys are amazing people and i am truly blessed to know you.

Well, it"s 4 AM, so I"m fixin" to hit the sack. Take care!

Alex

P.S. Mississnippi..told you =)

You have been on my mind all day and each time I thought of you I prayed for you.  I agree that this is to be a short and uneventful time in the hospital.  Lisa, thanks for your note on my carepage.  It really made my day.

Stay strong and rest under His wings!

Hello Mallory,

I have not been in your website before, but have been praying for you for many months. I just wanted to let you know that even though we may never meet that you have a great "cloud" of witness surrounding you with our love and prayers for you. We are with you every step of the way, encouraging you from the sidelines. Our gracious and awesome God can do even more than we can ever ask or imagine.

Much love,

Kathy Chupp

I am praying hard for you girl!!!! 

Heather :)

Mallory,

  You are an amazing young woman and an inspiration to those around you.  I am praying that the Lord watches over you and guides your physicians to give you the very best of care.  I know your family and friends are anxious to have you back with them. With sincere thoughts and prayers for your recovery, Judy Kelly, Powers Ferry Church of Christ

Hello Miss Mallory,

Oh my gosh...I"m sure this stay at the hospital will be brief. They will figure out how to get you stabilized and out of pain in a jiffy!

Stay strong, and know that so many people are thinking of you and keeping you in their daily prayers,

xox,

Dr. J

Mal,

Glad you are doing so well---we plan to come up there hopefully next weekend.  The boys are looking forward to seeing you. 

See you soon,

Derek

Hi Mallory,

Praying for you to get some renewed energy today.  It seems like we may have a rainy day which will be fun for watcing some DVD"s or fun with your wwi.  Your mom"s entry said you"d have a clinic visit tomorrow.  I am lifting up prayers that those numbers you need will all get back to normal levels.

What a blessing you have had with the devoted Medical Staff members.  At such a young age to endure the things that have come your way has been a life lesson  to us that a strong faith and trusting in our Lord will get us through each battle.  I am a member of Katherine Arnold"s Prayer Army and added you to my prayer list long ago.

Checking in to know the specific needs and lifting you and the family up daily in prayer.  By the way, your brother was very brave and I am sure he"s learned a little of that from watching you over the months of facing your battles. Let"s do pray he"ll not volunteer again for tazing!!!  One less worry for your precious Mom and Dad!!! Blessings from Powder Springs,

Hi Miss Mallory,

Lucky me...getting to see you today!! It was wonderful to see your rosy cheeks and the beautiful whites of your eyes! I hope you enjoyed your pizza and maybe you even got to have some ice cream?!?

xox,

Dr. J

Hey Mal,

Praying that you will not need the feeding tube but for a very short time!!  We had to go to Emory this week and we stayed at the Mason house.  I saw a friend who had a liver transplant last Feb. and he looked great. (He made me think about you)  You have been soooo strong through all of this.  Hang tough and know you have sooooo many on your TEAM praying for you.  Sometimes, I wish getting a transplant was like getting the chickenpox.  You get them, endure and then its over--But I guess then we would not be able to go back and see all the doctors and nurses that we love.

HEY MAL!

I LOVE YOU!

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

BRIDGET

Happy Valentine"s Day!  Hope you ate lots of candy.  What is a girl to do when she is told to gain, gain, gain some weight?  Chocolate...girl"s best friend!  Hate to hear you had to get the tube back in. Yuck!  Keep on being the strong beautiful girl that you are!  We think about you a lot and people ask me all the time about you.  They always say, "How"s Mal doing?....She is such a beautiful girl!"  Just know that a lot of people still think about you and pray for you!  We miss seeing you.  Our next clinic is on March 19th.  Maybe we will see you then.

Hope your mom is feeling better.  You have such a strong, beautiful role model to follow.  She is such a wonderful mom! Bet I didn"t have to tell you that!

Love, The Whitfield"s

      Hey Mallory

      I check on you every single morning when I get to work.  I do not think I have missed a day.  You have touched so many lives and I know you know how much you have touched Kristen"s life.  I always have you in my prayers and I am so glad you are at home and getting back to enjoying everything.  Have a fun safe weekend!!

Melanie

Happy Valentine"s Day Mallory!!!  Eat lots of chocolate!!!  :) 

Heather :) 

Happy valentines day Mallory!!!

We are so sorry to hear that you had to get another feeding tube, hopefully you won"t have it too long.  We love you so much and think about you every single day. You are such a special girl.

Love,

The Mitchell"s

I"m SO sorry to hear about the feeding tube going back in and the kidney numbers being high. But, you will get through this too. You have been so strong, and you can keep being the brave, strong, beautiful young lady that we all love.

Hope you ALL had a great Valentine"s Day!!!

Love,

Robin & Frank

Mallory,

Hope you have a Happy Valentines Day. We love you

The Byrds

Mallory,

Happy Valentines Day. We Love you

Steve, Kim, Destin, Morgan, and Cynthia

Mal,

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY---I know its early but I wanted to be the first to tell ya.

Derek

Hey Mal,

Just wanted to send some love your way!  I love my walrus!  He smiles at me all day at work! 

Love ya,

Kristen

Hey Mallory,

You will be in my special prayers tonight.  I suffer from migraine headaches myself.  They did not start until after my transplant.  I know exactly how you feel.  Just try to lay down in a dark place.  Just think of going shopping tomorrow.  :) 

Heather

Drink, drink, drink

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate

Pray, pray, pray

Repeat above until feeling better

Hey Mal!  I love it when you post something...lets everyone know that you feel good enough to!  So glad to hear that the feeding tube is able to stay out!!  I can only imagine how bad that is.  We are so proud of you being able to maintain your weight as well.  I figured you may have a hard time because of all the guitar hero action going on. = ) What a work out!  Some of our dear friends gave us a playstation 2 with the singing popstar game for Avery"s 1 year anniversary.  They figured it was something that the family could do all together.  Boy were they right!  We have had a blast with it!  Even Avery picks up the mircrophone and sings her little heart out.  MaKayla of course is a singing diva!  She is practicing for American Idol one day!  Thanks for the posting you left on Avery"s carepage!  It really made my day!  We will always have a special place in our hearts for ya!  May God continue to bless you and your family.

Love,  The Whitfield"s

Hello Miss Mallory,

Just wanted you to know I still check up on you...it"s nice to see that you"ve been stable enough that the updates are every other day! I can"t help but smile when I think of your doctor"s latest advice: Keep eating!! Keep drinking!! And then eat a little more, and wash it down with a big glass of H2O! Apparently your kidneys don"t want Izzie to get all the attention... :)

Stay strong!

xox,

Dr. J
