Dear Mal,  I just read Mike"s letter to you and I am sitting here crying my eyes out!I just had to tell you what a wonderful family you have!What a beautiful letter from a Dad to his Daughter! They have always been right there by your side, they are the sweetest people I have ever seen. There are not many familys that are this loving and devoted.  Everyone now is all for themselves, but your family have all put their lives on hold to care for you and love you in your time of need!  All of the family from different states are all gathering in person and spirit to do anything they can do to help you in your time of need!  We don"t have many family members and this is such a blessing to us to see such love and devotion! We are so proud to be a "New" part of your "Family"and we all love you dearly. 

Congratulations Michael, we hope you will be very happy in your new job! With such a wonderful family behind you,you will be a success too!

Thank You For accepting Our Love Too! " Mr. Robert"s Family," God Bless You All!

Well My Little Princess Angel,   I was so thrilled to see you sitting in the chair.  I love you to pieces and can"t wait until you are able to get up by yourself and be able to do things again.....You are such an inspiration to everyone.  I have told everyone in the waiting room about you and have showed them your pictures.  So by now, this whole second floor knows all about Miss Mallory.    Can you imagine that.....??????God is in control and He will get you through this.  Love You, Maw Maw

Dear Mall,   I just read your journal sounds like things are a little better. At church  this morning we had a prayer for you. Kim keeps me up on how you are doing, the journal makes it nice to make contact with all of you. Try to keep your chin up so you can  praying to. God will show you the way. If there is anything you need let us know

you display your power among the peoples. Psalm 77:13

I know God has many more miracles for you - I pray your spirit stays strong!!!!

Love, Phyllis Maulden & Family

I"ve read through your emails and what a fan fare.  You will certainly find a lot of joy in them when you are feeling better and you will soon.  There"s a saying the best is never over the best is yet to be.  Words that sound like just words when your so sick, but sent with heart felt prayers that you will be well soon.  Tell Maw Maw hello.

Hey Mal.

I am praying that  Alex and George will wake up and get to work.   You are a special young lady and very brave for all you have been thru.  There are so many people praying for you here.

MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU AND FAMILY

Aunt Dot

I"m sorry for all that you are having to go through, just know that there are many people praying for you and I know those prayers will be answered.  Try to keep a positive attitude and remain strong and things will get better.  Maybe a good ole bulldog butt kicking courtesy of Saben and his boys will put a smile on your face today.  Even though it is really hard for this  Auburn Tiger  to say-----ROLL TIDE ROLL AND WHIP THEM DAWGS!!!

HEY MAL,

ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!! CAN"T WAIT TO SEE YOU AGAIN. WE ARE ALL PRAYING SO HARD FOR YOU. YOU ARE AN AMAZING YOUNG LADY WHO IS FULL OF BRAVERY AND DETERMINATION. HUGS AND KISSES!

Because everyone that knows you or that have heard of you carry you every where they go because you are in there HEART through this. 

Hello Mallory,

Just a quick note to let you know I"m thinking of you and hoping that you are starting to feel better every moment.

Message to Kidneys: Vacation"s Over! Time to get back to work!

xox,

Dr. J

Hi Mallory!

Hope those kidneys kick in soon and you get to feeling better.

HUGS, Marisa

Dear  Mallory,

Praying for God"s grace to surround you and all the family tonight.  Agreeing with all your Prayer Warriors that the kidneys will begin to do their job!! I want to thank your Mom for the story and importance of the number 17 in your family.  My husband and I now realize the importance of the number 15.  After your Mom"s story we now know it lets us know Terry"s Mom is watching over us too.  I had already experienced the presence of butterflies that bring the recognition that my Mom and Granny are watching over me and my grandchildren.  God is speaking through your family and your faith is a shining example for all of us checking the website for news. You will remain in our prayers daily.

yo mallory! 

praying for you big time in this house!!  that Izzie  will kick some butt in that body of yours and get those kidneys working!!

hugs heading your way.....

patti , mom to samantha ,liver tx 3/2005,  she is 18 y/o and doing great!!

Dear Mallory,

Alyssa"s mother just told me about your web site and I sat and read every word from start to fnish.  Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers!!  You are a strong young lady with quite a wonderful support team!!!! 

May God  bless you and your family!!!!

I KISS YOUR PICTURES WHEN MAMA PULLS UP YOUR WEBSITE.

I LOVE YOU! BRANTLEY

I LOVE YOU MALLORY AND I WILL PRAY FOR YOU!

God Bless You Mal!  You are the sweetest bravest person we have ever known!      We are all praying for you and we know everything will be alright because God is in control! We sure hate it that you are having so many bumps in the road, but maybe once you do get well you will stay well this time with "Izzie" in control!You will be so very proud when you are well enough to read all of the wonderful things people are writing about you! Like you said, maybe God is putting you through this because he knows that you are strong enough to get through it and you will be a source of encouragement to others that are having a rough time of it! God doesn"t make mistakes, he has a reason for everything! May God hold you in his precious hands!

All Our Love And Prayers, And Angels all around you!  You"ll beat this yet!

Hey Mal.  We hope that you will get well as quick as possible!  I know you must be very anxious to get this over and feel better again.  YOU WILL!  You are a remarkable young lady that has more courage than most of us can only imagine.  I normally don"t quote things but I found something online today that may help you a little.  You remain in our prayers for a speedy and full recovery.

"The Healing That We Need"

Why, O Lord, does it always seem
That we often get no reply?
When we are so very desperate
For all the answers why.

When we need a special touch
To heal all of our sickness
A miracle that only you can do
Restoring strength to our weakness

We do not know the reasons why
You don"t answer straight away
We only need to have faith in you
And be persistent when we pray

You may choose to heal much more
Than our needs of the physical
So much more is the spirit inside
That may be in need of a miracle

For you care so much for us
And want to see us healed
Not only in this body of ours
But in our souls as well

For healing is for every part
Our body, spirit and soul
And God just wants to touch each part
And make us truly whole

We needn’t feel so downcast
As we wait upon the Lord
For the answer will come in His time
Then we shall be restored.

(By M.S. Lowndes)

Get well SOON! 

Dana & Greg

Hey Mal,

Hate to see that you"ve had a rough day. Hoping and praying those kidneys wake up very soon. You are strong and will make it through this as well. Remember....."this too shall pass".

Hi Mallory,

Just checking in to let you know that we love you and are praying for you. It hurts my heart that you have had to go through everything that you have been through. I have been praying that your kidneys will start working and everything will start going well. Try think positive, and try to be strong. You WILL get better.

Congratulations to Michael!!

Love, Robin & Frank

Mal, I am so glad to hear that you are awake.  I know your mom, dad and brother missed you while you were sleeping.  I know you will recover and be your old self again soon.  I am still praying every day for you.

Hey Smith Family!

My name is Micah Maxwell and I"m from Elberton, GA, which is about an 1 hr and 15 minutes from Atlanta. I was visiting Avery Whitfield"s care page and noticed Mallory"s website, so I came to check it out. I just sat at my desk and cried, because I remember the day we heard the news about my nephew and how it felt! My nephew, Kaden Vaughn, who will be two next month, needs a liver transplant as well. His doctor is also Dr. Romero and he is great! My nephew was diagnosed with Biliary Artesia when he was only 7 weeks and he had his first sugery (Kasai procedure) when he was only 9 weeks old. He is now on the transplant list, but he is doing fairly well so he is towards the bottom of the list. They told us it could be years or as little as a couple of weeks before he needs a liver, but as of right now he is doing good. He is very energetic and our clown of the family! He makes us all laugh! He is the first boy in our family and first grandchild on both sides, so he is spoiled rotten! I have an older sister (23) (Kaden"s mom Leanda Vaughn) and a younger sister (19) and I"m the middle sister (21). Kaden is also loved by all the nurses and doctors, because he"s always smiling. Kaden and Mal are troopers! You will have to ask Dr. Romero and some of the nurses about little Kaden. He is my sunshine!  It is so hard seeing a loved one go through such pain and discomfort. Please know that you all in our thoughts and prayers! I pray for a speedy recovery so Mal can hurry up and cheer on my DAWGS at upcoming football games. I saw where she is a Georgia Bulldog fan, and let"s just say I"m a sold out fan..lol! Go Dawgs! I will also add Mal to our prayer list at my church! Stay strong and keep the faith!

Love in Christ!

Micah
