Mallory

Sorry to hear you are back at CHOA. I hope it"s a very short stay and you are feeling better soon.

We know you are disappointed to be back at "Hotel E." but I"m sure you"ll get out of there soon!  We love you and and think of you guys so often.  I know this is temporary, just to get Mal the help with the pain.  We will all say prayers tonight that you are out of there by the earliest day possible!

hugs from the macs

Mallory!! Egleston is a greedy greedy place and they just don"t like to share you, but you know what? I won"t let them have you all the time!!! I pray that this will not be a long stay for you! I need you back home so I hope your pain goes away ASAP! I LOVE you girl!

Hello Miss Mallory,

Hi Mallory,

It is great to read Mom"s journal and know that you are enjoying being home!! I will be praying for your feeds and sleep to improve for you.  It has been such a blessing to read all the beautiful messages you receive from your family and friends. 

I am one of those Prayer Warriors you"ve never met but lift you up daily for God"s Blessings.  Katherine"s Mom ask those of us who were praying for KJ to add you to our prayer list and I did months ago!!! 

Your courageous spirit touches all of us who know or get to know you through Mom"s journal. Keep pushing forward and PLEASE work hard to reach the doctor"s weight gain goal s!! 

Praying for a warm blanket of prayers to surround you tonight and give you a night of peaceful dreams.  Thanking Jesus along with Mom for all the battles you have already won and asking His favor for the ones you ahve now.  Blessings from Powder Springs,

Hey Mallory,

I am so glad that you are now home.  There is no place like home, no place like home!  :)  I knew you would get there.  You are too strong of a fighter, and God is too big.  Target is where I took all of my day trips too.  I love Target!!  They have great clearance stuff too.  I remember buying DVD"s there to play in my laptop while I was at the Mason House.  In fact, Target is where I first started walking by myself.  There are fond memories of Target for the both of us!  :)  I do not know who Destin is, but I live 10 minutes from Ft. Benning.  I wish him the best.  Ft. Benning is so huge!  I have friends that live there.  Well, I have to get back to my studies....finals are next week!  Soon you will be saying that too!!!  See ya!!

It must feel so good to finally be home.  The darned feeding tube will eventually come out.  Just keep trying to eat.  I know it"s easier said than done.  Jen took awhile to eat enough on her own after both transplants.  You will get there.  We are keeping you in our prayers.  

hi there ,we are praying for you that you will soon get to feel we are fine, take care and have a good night love  rex and mom

Mallory,

I think I will put a red bow on your head & let everyone know your being home is the

best christmas gift I could ever think of!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep on getting better - Love Phyllis M.

Now that you are home and sleeping a little better, Mallory, things must be looking up for you. I am so happy that you and your family will be able to celebrate Christmas together at home! You are such an inspiration to all of us. You remain in my thoughts and prayers!

Edie Parrott

Mal,

Glad you are back home.  Praying that you get better and better every day.

Mallory!!

I am sooo glad to hear you are home and life is gradually getting back to normal for you and your family! It is my routine every night right before I go to bed to check and see how you are doing! I will continue to pray for you every day. I am so excited to see the plan God has for your life. He is fulfilling His purpose through and in you everyday. The impact you have had on not only people you know, but also people you may never meet....is AMAZING! I can not wait to see how God will continue to use you and your miracle story to bring Him glory. Thank you for having the strength and faith to trust your way through this obstacle because it shows all of us what trusting God truly means.

Ephesians 3:20: "Now glory be to God! By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope." 

Love,

Meredith Holder

Mal,

We are so glad that you are back home and your life gradually returning to the normalcy you deserved so long ago.  There is no doubt that soon you will be back beyond normal and you will again be on top of the world as the phenominal young woman and college student who is destined to "set the bar higher" for all the rest of us.

God Bless you, Lisa, Mike, and Michael!

Jim & B.A.

Hey Mal! It was soo good to see you at clinic wednesday! hopefully they"ll have us on the same schedule and we can catch up then. Like you said we both had on street clothes on and its crazy how much better one can look when they are in their own clothes. I remeber when i put on my normal duds the first time after getting out i just felt better and more comfortable in my OWN clothes. You look great and the new dew your sporting is very nice. Anyway, lets both have Mal and Izzie keep up the awesome work. lol. See you later MAllory!

OH MY GOODNESS, WE HAVE BEEN WAITING AND PRAYING FOR A REPORT LIKE THIS ONE!  AND WEIGHT GAIN OF A LB IS GREAT!  SEE WHAT ALL GOOD THINGS "HOME SWEEET HOME" BRINGS!  WE LOVE YOU GUYS!     T & J    

Hi Mal and Lisa,

I am so thankful that you are doing better and able to stay home. We were a little worried Monday that you might be admitted and were so thankful you were not. We do miss having you there but are so glad at the same time that you are not.

I don"t know if you are up to going to a Christmas program or not but my church choir is doing our Christmas Festival this Sat. and Sun. nights at 6pm and it is going to be awesome!!! I am in the choir so it would be great to see you if you can. I attend First Baptist Church Woodstock. It is a large church and the program is going to be very amazing- singing, dancing, drama, art- all kinds of things. Give me a call if you think you could come and I"ll tell you how to get there. 770-693-8723(H) 770-500-0429(C)

Praying for you

love you- Lacy

Target!!!  A girl after my own heart.  That was the first store I went into after my heart transplant.  My husband pushed me around in a wheelchair because I was so weak.  But now, I can spend some serious money in that place all by myself!!!!

Praying for your continued recovery.  Enjoy your Christmas and make sure you keep your receipts from Target.  They have a new return policy.  Told you I spend some money there!  I bet you will too!

Under His Wings,

Jeannie Fuller

HEY MAL! I HOPE YOUR NIGHT WAS GOOD AND I HOPE YOUR DAY GOES GOOD TOO!!! I CANT WAIT TO COME BE ABLE TO COME UP THERE AND SEE YOU!!! WELL I AM AT WORK AND I GOTTA GO BUT I LOVE YOU!!!!

Dear Mallory and Family,

What an amazing loooooong journey and what a wonderful holiday this will be for you all!!  You have been in our daily thoughts and prayers throughout this journey and will continue to be!!  God bless you all, enjoy!!!!

It"s so nice to hear about you guys doing regular life type stuff.  I personally hate going to the grocery store, but after not going for so long I think it would feel good to be out and about.  Mal, great news about the one pound.  I would love to "loan" you a few more!

Sounds like all the numbers were good yesterday and only good news to report.  Fantastic job Smith family in getting your sweet princess home and on the road to recovery.

Your Christmas wishes are already coming true.

Love You All

Hey Mal and Lisa,

I am so thankful that you are at home!!!!  I haven"t been able to check you website for awhile, but I heard from some people that you were able to go home.  That"s the best place to rest and get stronger!!  I hope you start feeling better and pray that you will soon be able to eat!  Lisa~ I"m sure it feels good to get back to some of the "routines" and to be able to sleep in your own bed.  If you have a chance can you e-mail me your home address?  I miss you both and think and pray for you every single day!  ~Becky

HEY MAL,

Annie

So glad you are home, Mallory.

One of these days, after you have had children and grandchildren are at your feet,  you will look back and remember the days when you were trying to gain weight.  You are a fighter.  Keep it up.  God is on your side.

Hey Mal!! I just wanted to drop you a quick note and let you know that i will specifically be praying for you to be able to sleep. Just fall asleep knowing that the God of the entire universe is watching over you and wanting you to find rest in Him. I love you so much Mallory and I hope that you have a wonderful day. Know that everyone is so glad that you are home, and I will hopefully come by and bring you some good food. I love you!

Love, Claire

Dear Mallory & Lisa,

I am so glad to see you are home.  I enjoyed the dance your doctor did and while watching it I thought of how much joy and togetherness your family has brought to others through your trials.  You truly are an amazing couple of girls and God has used your trials to give strength and encouragment to others.  Hang in there the best is yet to be.

A friend of MawMaw

Mallory and family,

I was away from KMHS last week...and got back to find my Team Mal shirt and to catch up on the news that you are HOME! Congratulations! I know you all are so excited to start trying to get your family life back together and to be home in your own bed. I continue to keep you all in my prayers and know that God"s timing is perfect.
