Happy New Year!!

Sending you all good wishes for a GREAT 2008!

Love you all,

Robin & Frank

I hope 2008 is full of health and hapiness for the Smith family.  You guys really deserve to have a good one.

I always smile when I hear the 4 of you are together having a good time.  This is really the type of memories that will have you remembering 2007 with fondness.

Mallory, eat your veggies!  And your fruits, meats, breads, candies, grains, and don"t forget those yummy Starbucks drink that have so many calories... Enjoy this time of eating anything and everything!

Love and Happy New Year

2 little weight gaining tricks, if you didn"t know.....

1. Eat right before bed.

2. Get some carnation instant breakfast powder and add it to things like yogurt, it adds calories.

Have fun eating!!  :)

Mallory! I hope and pray that your tube is removed once and for all! i know you can gain that two pounds i have total faith in you! i love you girl!

Mallory,  it is so wonderful to hear you are feeling better and I pray you will  get to eating and gain weight and not have to have that tube.   Each time I check and you have had a good day  I SAY " THANK YOU LORD"  You and the family are in my prayers.  I am so happy Michael is close so you all can be together more.

Take care and Prayers are still going up.

I HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

Mallory, your mom has turned into a regular doc now.  I know you must be glad to have that tube outta there.  We just got back from out of town and wanted to check in on you.  So glad to hear that you are getting out and going shopping and the movies again.  You looked sooo good the last time we saw you.  We"ll keep praying and thinking about you, and hopefully come back for another visit soon, we really enjoyed spending some time with you. 

Love y"all,

The Ujjins

Hey Mallory!

I hope you had a very Merry Christmas. On Christmas I read the update and it sounded like you did. YAY! I am so excited that you are feeling better. I am glad you got to go to Atlantic Station. i love that place! I haven"t been to the Dillards though. I will have to check it out. It think it"s cool that you and your mom have been able to go shopping. I remember my mom took me a lot to the mall after clinic visits that I had consistently right after my transplant. It helped me get to out and make myself walk around. hehe, As you know, we mainly have kid channels at Children"s, so I watched more TLC than I could ever have wanted. After watching What Not to Wear over and over, I really wanted to go shopping especially because us transplant kids aren"t able to for awhile. Then, I would sit in the fitting rooms to catch my breath and gear up to just look around. Hmmm, I guess your updates just reminded me of that. I hope you get your feeding tube out soon! I am sorry it got clogged. But I am glad your Mom seems to know alot of how to do everything. You guys are amazing! I hope you all get to celebrate New Year"s Day to its fullest with the new wonderful liver God has provided. TTYL!

Coke in a feed line!  Heck, it"s worth a try for sure!!!  We hope it clears up and Mal is on her way to gaining weight---she"s the only person in the country trying to gain weight after Christmas!!!  Lisa, you sound so good and we"re glad things are going well.  Shopping is great medicine!

hugs from the macs---Tmac is just waiting on the big game!!

Glad things are still well!!

Have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Mal - I hope by the time you get this your line is clear - Just in case I am"

praying anyway - It"s great your still moving forward - You have come

a long way since last month!!!!!!!!   Love ya all -Phyllis M.

Mallory, I am so happy that you continue to improve. Keep shopping; it appears to be working for you!!!

Edie Parrott

Hi Mallory

I just stopped into to check on you its been a while since I have.  I"m so glad your doing better.  Having a transplant wouldn"t stop me from shopping ethier.  I"m happy you are able to go shopping.   I hope you had a good christmas. 

Shawna and Addi

A very happy hello to all of the family! Kitty just sent us the picture of your new blouse and it is darling!  You just look like you are ready to go to the mall or out with friends!

We are so very happy that you are getting back to a more normal life again! Just keep that sweet smile and keep praying for God to have his will, because I know he wan"ts you to be back to normal again, enjoying life to it"s fullest! That was a beautiful present you made for your Mom & Dad! You have a lot of talent, keep using it!

We know that you are soo proud of Michael! He sure is a handsome firefighter!

God Bless each and everyone of you , Love ya!  Big Huggies!

Hey Mallory! Listen, I am so glad that you are doing soooo much better. It is a big time answer to prayer. Hey, I remember when I came to visit you back in October. You talked about how much you missed coming back for escorting the guys in January for Hoopcoming. Well, I was wondering if you wanted to come back and help me crown the Hoopcoming King. You weren"t able to crown the Queen, so I thought that this would hopefully be the next best thing. I would absolutely love for you to come, and I spoke with Mr. Richardson, and he said it was fine with him! So email and let me know. Hoopcoming is January 25th. I love you very much and look forward to your response!

Love,

Claire

Hey Lisa and Mallory,

I just wanted to say hello and let you know that it was so great seeing you guys on Wednesday!  What a surprise!  I hope you all have a great day and great weekend.

Love yall,

Kristen

So thankful to hear that your liver numbers are great!  We will pray that your appetite and strength return very soon.  We are just so thankful that you got to spend Christmas at home with your family who loves you soooo much!  As I have said before....ya"ll are such an inspiration to all of us!  We are praying that 2008 will be a much better year for Miss Mal!  She deserves it and so much more!

God bless,

The Whitfield"s

Hello Mallory!

I"m just another friend that"s been keeping up with your story. I work with my mom at the same place as your aunt Bonnie[Henderson Arms in Marietta]. The shirt is awesome I absolutely love it!! I bought the pink one hehe. I"m so happy to hear you"re doing better. I"ve been praying for you! I hope you had an awesome Christmas and I hope the new year brings good things!

Cristy

Mal,

I am thankful you are doing so well.  I pray that you will continue to improve each day and be able to get on with your life.

Derek

Hi Smith Family,

It was so great to see you guys saturday night & to see Mal"s progress with my

own eyes - Mal, you looked beautiful!!! I continue to pray for better & better

health - Love ya - Phyllis M.

Hi Mal and Lisa,

I just wanted to say PRAISE THE LORD for Mal"s continued improvement.  I am so happy to read the updates from her, as I know in the past few months, she hasn"t been able to correspond.

That is awesome about Michael becoming a Firefighter.  You know that my husband (Larry) has been a Firefighter (now FAO) for almost 25 years.  He is planning to retire at the end of September 2008, but that remains to be seen!

I"m so glad that you all had a wonderful Christmas together as a family AT HOME!!  We spent Christmas at my daughter and son-in-law"s home with those beautiful grandchildren.

I"ll check in tomorrow for my daily update.  May God Bless!

Much love to all of you,

Dorothy

        We are thanking the Lord you are doing so much better and home for Christmas.

     It is good to here you and your faimly giving our Lord Jesus credit for what he is doing in your life. I know it has been a hard road but the Lord will see you threw this valley.

    Everyone at Noah"s church ( Sylvester Road Baptist Church ) are still praying and thanking God for what he is doing for you.

  Merry Christmas!!

It was so nice to read that you guys had such a good day today. You certainly deserve it. We were all thinking about you at Mawaw Roberts in Satsuma today. We were saying how thankful we are that you are getting better and that you are home.

Wish you guys could have been there. We had so much good food!! We could have stuffed you so full!! Ha-ha!!

Hope you guys enjoy the rest of the week munching on your leftovers and your goodies!

Love,

Robin & Frank

Hey Mal and Lisa! Just wanted to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Healthy, Happy New Year! May God"s blessings be upon you now and always! You are always in my prayers sweet angel.

Rhonda Putnam

Merry Christmas Mallory!!!  Hope your day is a fabulous one!

Heather  :) 

Mal,

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!

Derek

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas to you and your family. 

Mallory, I have been keeping track of your progress ever since Dana sent me the link.  You have been through so much to be so young....I know you more than likely hear that alot but you have.  You have had so much courage through this all and it is the kind that only God can give you.  You have so much faith and you know that is the one thing that will get you through it all.  I have an uncle who went through the same procedure and also had to have a second transplant less than 24 hours of having the first one.  We talk about you often because believe it or not you guys have a connection.  I was telling him about you and was talking of your doctors and yes he had the same doctors!!  Fazola did his transplants because Heffron was not available.  Just thought I would let you know that I think/pray for you daily.  You and your family are truely amazing!! 

Mallory and Lisa,

 I just wanted to say "Merry Christmas" to you and your family!  I am so glad you are able to enjoy it from your home.  Take care and have a great day!!!!  Jamie Blackwell

Merry Christmas Mallory, Michael, Lisa, Mike, Robert, Maw Maw and all of your family!!!!!!!!!!

We are so glad you are all home, snug in your beds, and all set for a winter"s night at home! 

Love, the macs  

Hello Miss Mallory,

My very best wishes to you and your family. With all the delicious Christmas goodies, treats, and abundant favorite foods this season, I"m sure you won"t have much trouble reaching that target weight very soon!!

Merry Christmas!

xox,

Dr. J

Merry Christmas to all of you!

We are so glad Mallory is doing so well! Congratulations to Michael - you will make a great firefighter!!

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and hope to see you soon!!

Mallory,

I am so glad that you are feeling better and that you are able to spend Christmas at home.  I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a very healthy new year!!

Melissa Graydon

Santa has already been busy this year sending the Smith family a present on September 17th!  It sounds so good to hear you guys out doing the normal Christmas things that we all take for granted.  You are all such an inspiration of living life to the fullest and remembering the things that are most important.

Enjoy your Christmas Eve.  Mallory, most folks gain a few pounds during the holidays and this year I hope you will too.  I am still offering to give you some of mine!

Have a great Christmas Mal. You are doing great, keep the strength. Congratulations to Michael too, I"m sure he will be a super firefighter. I"ll raise my glass to the Smiths that they have an enjoyable Christmas Day.

Happy Christmas to you all and the very best of wishes for 2008.

Melanie at Georgian Bank 

I know you already have your Christmas present - being home and doing so well!!!!  I hope you and your family have the most wonderful of all holidays and that the New Year is all you want it to be!!!!!!  You continue to be in our thoughts and prayers!!

Hey MAl!

I am so glad you are home for the holidays and making sausage balls. :) I am also so happy you are feeling better and being able to get some sleep. I am praying that you will get the feeding tube out soon. Sounds like it won"t be too far from now! It was funny because after I saw you a little over a week ago I ran into Dr. Heffron at Emory. haha I sneaked up on him because he was getting a coke at the soda machine with Dr. Fazola. Then, I saw him at the food court too!! I guess it is normal since he works at Emory, but It is fun running into him outside of the Dr"s office. Maybe we can talk him into climbing Stone Mountain with us someday. That would be great! I am so glad you are on the road to recovery! If you need anything let me know or if you just want to chit chat. My cell is 770-598-6995. MERRY CHRISTMAS! Thanks for letting my mom and I visit you! TTYS!
