Hi Mallory, Lisa, Mike and Michael, (and Maw Maw Kitty),

I am at church working today.  Everyone is really praying that you will soon be up and out of the hospital.  We know you are getting stronger each day with Izzie.  We will see you as soon as you feel like having company. I will be bringing "brownies" for your sweet tooth.

Now, Lisa - as I have said I will be happy to help out in anyway - that includes cleaning your house.

We love you all,

Jo & Pete

HEY MAL!

Here is Izzie"s good night prayer:

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the Lord for Mallory to keep

If she should wake during the night

Please let her know I"ll treat her right

Love you Mal

Hi

We are praying hard for Mallory.  My Jen went through acute renal failure after both her liver transplants.  She required CVVH both times and both times her kidneys started functioning again.  We"ll keep on praying for Mallory, Izzy and her kidneys too.  Has she named her kidneys?  Jen named her K & P for "keep" "peeing", kinda strange but that"s the mind of a teenager. 

OOPS!!! Didn"t mean to refer to Izzie as "he"!!!!

GIRL POWER!!!!

Mallory and Family,

Not an hour of a day passes that we don"t think of you and your family. How blessed they are to have you and you are to have them.God has been with you thru so much and He will see you all thru this. You are a very special young lady and He knows that. What an inspiration you are to everyone around you. Mike & Lisa you are all in our thoughts and prayers. 

Sending Prayers and Love,

Allan, Denise and Kids

Hello Mallory and Izzie,

Just got the latest update from Kitty. That little Izzie is doing good. If only he could grow some little arms and legs and give those kidneys a big ole kick and push all that fluid out of that lung, you would really be in business!!!!

Love you,Robin

Mallory-We heard the surgery went well! Stay strong! You are in our thoughts and prayer

You are truly and inspiration to us all!

Lisa- Mom says she is thinkin about you and she loves you!

Hi Mal -

Found you through the Liver Families website.  I"m so glad you got Izzie - praying for your continue healing.  We"ll send specific prayers for those kidneys.  Keep swimming.

Hello Mallory and the Smith Family,

My name is Krystal and I am Avery Whitfield"s aunt (Laurie is my sister). I have been following your journey through your website as well as getting updates from Laurie. I was thrilled to hear that you received your new gift and that everything is going so well. Mallory, you have such an amazing story and are such a beautiful girl who has so much to offer. I know that the Whitfield"s consider it a blessing to have met you and your family and even I feel like we are connected now. As I know you are fully aware, you are in the best hands as was Avery of not only the wonderful medical staff at Egleston and the God sent Dr. Heffron and his team but of wonderful hands of God ALMIGHTY!!!I just wanted you and your family to know that my family and I are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. We wish you an uneventful and speedy recovery.

Mallory,

   Sweetie,  I wanted to write to you tonight because I won"t be with you when you wake up.  I will be in West Virginia on a white water rafting trip on Thursday through Sunday and won"t be back to work until Tuesday.  I"m sad I won"t be here when you open your eyes.   You really kept us busy last night.  You came to me about 9:00pm and kept us moving till morning. Izzie seems to be doing her job right now which is wonderful.  She needs to give a little kick to her neighbors(your kidneys) to get them started.  I"ve really enjoyed talking care of you again.  I think the world of you and your family. I"m sure that izzie will do her duty and this visit to the ICU will be the last time we will have a nurse/patient relationship. Only social visits from now on, ok.  I"ll see you when I get back.

 Monique

Hey, its your neighbors from 467!  Just wanted to let you and your family know that you have been in our thoughts and prayers and we are EXTREMELY happy that you had a successful surgery!!  Justin (Jackson"s dad) said he heard everyone yelling the other day when you guys found out that they had a liver for you and we have been asking the nurses for updates ever since!  We will continue to pray for a speedy recovery!!

Jackson, Emily, Justin and Deborah

Mallory,

    I am praying for you.  As I look at your smile on this page and type this message, my prayer is simple. I want God to return you to that smile.  I want God to free you from the medical struggles so you can live for the reason that He created you.  You get well and you go accomplish His will.  Spread that smile.

Dale

Hi Lisa, Mike, Michael and Kitty,

I am SO thankful that Mallory is doing good. She has so many people praying for her and she has touched so many lives. Things should only get better from now on.

She is a beautiful brave young lady.

Love, Robin & Frank

Lisa,

Just wanted to let you know that you and the entire family have been in my thoughts and prayers for a long time. Kim, Bridget, or your mom give updates and Debra Key (Pyles) and I share information  when we get it. I"m glad the news has been good last night and today. Mallory is a fighter (like her mom) Take care of yourself and each other. We will continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers and check for updates. Just found the website, this will make it easier on all of us here to keep a check on her condition.

ROLL RIDE!!!!!!

Love ya"ll

Denise

Mallory (and family),

I worked @ Fox10, and Robin has kept us updated with emails.  Though we have never met, I just wanted you all to know that you are in my prayers.  Everyone was so thrilled to get the email today letting us know about your surgery.  I know it has been such a hard time for you, but God is so good, and He will never leave you.  Izzy is going to be the beginning of a beautiful chapter!  Love and prayers, Paulette.

That is soooo wonderful to hear!!!  You are so right about her being in the best of hands.  The PICU staff and the entire Liver Team are such AMAZING people!  Man, the Lord really must have such big plans for Mallory!  I can"t wait to see!  The best is yet to come!  Stay strong and get some rest!

Love ya"ll and continue to pray!

Laurie Whitfield

May God continue to bless the Smith Family and grant Mallory and Izzie a harmonious and speedy recovery.  Every time I read the quest book it really hits home how loved and adored Mallory is by everyone who knows her and even those who do not.  I am one of the lucky ones that has seen her grow into such a fine young lady.  This did not happen by accident.  She had the love of God and her family encouraging and celebrating her every day.

Lisa, please get some rest and know that one day this will all be a distant memory and your happy healthy beautiful daughter will be living the fantastic and rewarding life she deserves.

God bless the donor and their family for this amazing gift so that Mallory may recover and move on with the rest of her life.

I am glad to hear that everything is positive so far.  Will keep praying for your recovery and for the donors family to be at peace knowing that they have given the greatest gift of all.  Keep up the faith and God Bless--

Kamala Warren

Wonderful News Mallory!!  Izzie is here to stay...Amen.  Praising God for all the medical staff and His arms wrapped around you as you recover in ICU.  Sharliss posted the wonderful update on KJ"s CaringBridge website!!  We will continue to lift you up and all your family for God"s healing touch and grace to endure the days ahead. 

Blessings from Powder Springs...

Hey Mal!!

How are you girl? I haven"t talked to you in forever! How did your summer go?

I heard about your liver trasplant that you had yesterday and I just wanted you to know me and my mom are thinking about ya!  We miss you dearly and all the good Georgia memories we had together! I hope you and your mom are doing great! Soon the whole old georgia gang, like me, you, Andrea, Moose, Natalie, and Alicia need to get together for dinner.

Just wanted to stop by and say hey I miss you dearly and you are in my prayers every night!

I love you oh so much! Tell your family I said HI!!

Mallory (Izzie, Lisa, Mike, Michael, MawMaw, Robert, Bridget, Kim... everybody!)--

Love,

Lauren

Dear Mal & Lisa,

Everytime I read an update I burst into tears! Tears of pure joy and thankfulness. This morning at 5:45 I read the update from last night. I was praising God to the top of my lungs and thanking Him. God is amazing! Mallory, YOU are amazing. You have changed my life. My faith and belief in God has reached a new level. And to read all of the messages from so many  people shows me just how many of God"s followers united in prayer there are out there. Sleep for now sweet girl, and rest up for the wonderful life you have ahead of you. Lisa, stay strong and please take care of yourself. I miss you and can"t wait to see you. I am still praying constantly for everyone.

Love and prayers to all of you, Rhonda and David Putnam

Mallory & Lisa, 

I just found out about your surgery yesterday and your web site.  It was the strangest thing, on Sunday I was putting some things up in storage and this picture fell out of a box and it was of You, Brittany, Meghan (moose), Andrea, Natalie and Alicia.  All in your Georgia Allstar uniforms, pony tails, and most of you missing teeth!  I laughed until I cried, for some strange reason I was feeling extremely emotional over that picture. I think we were at Hard Rock Cafe in Myrtle Beach. That evening, Brittany got home from an out of town birthday trip with Nathan and I showed it to her and we both laughed and reminisced about those days again!  Brittany said mom, Mallory"s birthday was last week too!  The next morning Sharon emailed me and told me about your surgery, we couldn"t believe it!  So please know that even though we just found out about it, we were thinking of you on Sunday!  We are so happy that your surgery was a success. Please let us know when you are up for visitors, I think we need to have a reunion!    Happy Belated Birthday Sweetie!  We Love you and are praying for you-    Tonya and Brittany Hilburn  

Good morning Mal,

I"m so glad that you had a good night and that everything is going in the right direction. I will continue to pray for you and the donors family. God has granted you a miracle once again. I just know this liver is the perfect one. We will see you soon!

Love you,

Bridget

We are so pleased that Mallory is doing so well.  She has been in our prayers and we will continue to pray for a speedy recovery.  When I checked on her last night she was still in surgery.  She must have 17 little angels looking over her.  I could not get over the date.  This time I got tiny goosebumps just thinking that during one of my visits we discussed that God would wait to give her a liver on this special day.  I will be looking for new updates often during the week and will plan on seeing Mallory on Monday.  Take good care of Mallory and take good care of yourself.  You have been awesome parents and Mallory is so blessed to have you relentlessly by her side.  Give her a kiss for me.

Love,

Cortney
