Missed you too, friend. Sorry I didn't call while we were at Scottish last week. My sweet Daddy was with me and we just stayed "on the go" the whole time. I did think about MG as we met a germ cell girl in the waiting room. Sweet, pretty little girl, just like MG, but she had a terrible time drinking her contrast and finally just got the NG tube....Yuck! Hoping your holidays are great!

Hey, just wanted to stop back by and say hello -- we didn't get to visit very long at the Camp Sunshine party. My kids got distracted by the little pond outside and out they went. We didn't see you guys before we left, but I hope you enjoyed the rest of the party!
Talk to you soon,

Oh DD, we're crying about the Dawgs losing streak. We're headed to the game with the kiddos next weekend and we're hoping they'll be the good luck charm to get us back on track. ABSOLUTELY LOVE the picture of MG on the front page. She should be a model or just a mini-DD! She's beautiful! We miss you guys, hope the head injury leaves a super cool scar (which can be covered up with hair). Jake is jealous that MG got staples and he only got disolvable stitches. She's the bomb. Love to you all and big hugs

D.D., I've just gotten the chance to check your website and wanted to thank you for several things. Thanks for sharing with all of us. Mostly (and I guess selfishly) thank you for being Jenny's friend and giving her that support that only you can give. Thanks for seeking others to pray for sweet Catie and her family. Jenny is my niece. It is hard being so far away, but you are an answered prayer for me. Thanks again so much! Kay or Great Aunt Kay thank to Catie

Oh my dear, dear friend... How lucky and blessed I am to have you... I'm doing a little Caringbridge "catch up" and I find myself bawling as I read your words. God knew what He was doing that day when we were walking the halls... and I am so thankful that He did... He knows what He's doing now too. I will trust that... I have too... Jer. 29:11
I think this is your weekend retreat and I pray that it is amazing and fulfilling... just what you need and what you've been looking for.
Know how much I love you and how very, very thankful I am for you...
Always,

P.S. Sorry for no "car call" today. It was actually a pretty quick trip home. Uneventful too... unless you count that airplane that landed on I-75 in Macon!!!! =)

I've been meaning to sign the guestbook for a while now, but I haven't had time to sit down and do it. But I love the Lighthouse pictures - that looks like a great ministry! If Joey had had more of a cancer journey, I'd apply to go the same time y'all were there - we'd love to see y'all! Grant, congratulations on making the most important decision of your life! I can tell what a special boy you are and I know God will use you to do great things!

Mary Grace, I admit I cried when I read you mommy's message about your CT. I knew in my heart it would be good, but hearing it from your mommy makes it just perfect.
Happy early birthday, you certainly have become one of the blessings in my life, that is for sure.

I can't believe how big Mary Grace is getting! We never see you at clinic anymore, so it's hard to keep up.
I am so very thankful to read for "Clear Scans"! WoooHooo!
And....did I detect the words "survivor clinic"???
Oh my gosh!!!
I am so happy for you!
I can't wait to read what happens there--Madie will be "eligible" in May, 2007!
Lots of prayers and good thoughts for a super "rest-of-the-summer" until school starts back again.

The pictures are adorable! I'm totally with you on the naps. In our house, everyone lies down for "rest time" for 2 hours everyday (the boys get to watch a movie during this time.) This annoys the neighbor kid across the street to no end because he can't play with Levi during this time. He has told me more than once that Levi is much too old for naps! I told him in our house NOBODY is too old for naps! Praying for y'all tomorrow!

Those pictures are amazing -- I LOVE the one with the circle of flowers around her head!!
We love you guys and I'll probably give you a buzz in the morning sometime.

Hey, just wanted to pop in and say howdy!! I didn't realize you were allergic to horses. Blaine isn't allergic, but when he was young (and lived on a farm in Texas) his sister's horse kicked him, so he hates them, too. Luckily, (lucky for him, I guess!) none of our kids have ever been bitten by the horse-bug, although Brayden is an avid watcher of "The Saddle Club". :)
Glad to hear you are all doing well!

HA! I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one who, while appreciating without end celebrating another holiday with my kiddos, feels a bit frazzled by the mad dash to open and handle the fragile ornaments! I went so far as to get the kids their own tree to decorate any way they want, with no "help" from me. I love the surgery on the nutcracker! Brandon would just break it...no thought of surgery.
And like you, I wouldn't have it any other way!
Hope the hockey game was a blast!

It was so cute how she was so proud she could put on her PJ's by herself. D.D., you are like the Aunt I never had! You have done such an incredible job raising your children.

Hello, my friends!
I was sick with worry all day yesterday and am thrilled to hear the AFP is well within the normal range. I am MAD that you have to live with this fear...but I know in my heart that Mary Grace will be tormenting you as a healthy teenage cancer survivor before you know it and that you will have many, many more years, none of which include cancer as part of your existence, to make memories. Know that we love you and will keep you in our daily prayers.

While I know waiting for the next set of scans is frightening (can you say "understatement" ????) I take the AFP marker as a HUGE indicator that things are well with MG! I am breathing a sigh of relief, on your behalf, but will continue to pray that next month's scans vanquish all doubt and we can blame that spot on a good ole' autumn cold.
I think this upcoming weekend at the beach might be just what the doctor ordered --- for all of you! We can't wait to share that time with you,

D.D. it was nice to meet you at the CureSearch Luncheon--too bad we didn't all have time to talk more. Your journal entry says it just right. Today is the anniversary of Gwen's diagnosis and I have been feeling a lot of the same things as you. And can I tell you Mary Grace's hair is SO cute! She is a spunky one. Take care,

Hi D.D. and family, I saw the article in the Sixes Magazine for the The Grandparents of the year! Go Mary Grace and Grant! Mary Grace wrote such a sweet letter. Your parents are so special as well as the rest of your family. You are truly Blessed. Mary Grace looks so healthy and happy, I hope she likes her mothers morning out. Prayers are with you all, each day for Good health and Good scans etc,. Much love, Cathy and family

Hi guys!
Ok DD, I came here to drop you a note and realized that the rest of your entry was up. I had read the beginning, but for some reason the entry had stopped at #3. So I finished reading it and now I need a box of Kleenexes (of which there are none in our house after the cold that we all had last week). There has been so much to be thankful for on this journey. I pray that I remember the lessons that I've learned and all that we have to be thankful for.
About the party, we were so excited about your offer, but we're actually going to be home long enough to do it here now. So, no party needed, but let's definitely plan some play dates while we're in town.
I cannot believe we're almost done (I just hope we're done for good). 2 years -- I honestly thought we'd never get through it b/c it felt like so long. But here we are, or in 7 weeks, there we'll be. It's hard to imagine.
We'll get to town the 26th and we'll talk to you soon.
Hugs to your whole crew! Hope that your trip is a blast!
Hugs,
Jenny

I haven't been able to find words to write since I read this the first time. I've come back again and again to remind myself of what you so eloquently and powerfully communicated - we must CHOOSE our response to these circumstances. It is sometimes a daily emotional and mental discipline to focus on the positive and not become overwhelmed by the sadness of the struggles of so many. I second the points you made, and the blessings bestowed by our cancer journey have forever changed the course of my life. Yes, God is good.
You are such an inspiration to me. And MG is looking SO TOTALLY precious as always!
Love to you,

We have prayed for the entire family and hope that all continues to be nothing but perfect for all of you! Your journal entries have been an inspiration to me.

What a terrific entry, pure joy, love and thankfulness. We are right there with you and can't imagine how all of us Mom's and Dad's do it. The strength of our kids keep us going....they are the amazing ones, we are lucky to be a part of the miracle.
We ran into Wendy and her son Riley today at Costco. She recognized Jack as we were leaving the store. What a great Mom. She let us know her husband is organizing a great gift for the Hero's luncheon. You are blessed with great friends.
Give Mary Grace and smooch and a hug from Jack.

She continues to be a doll (albeit a growing one). What a wonderful child, and what a wonderful family. If God tested you, you passed with flying colors. Much love from El Paso.

Funny, I was thinking about that first round of chemo in the hospital and the people who were there. You came to mind, so I decided to check on you. We were scared to death, weren't we.

Oh D.D.---
I don't quite know how to say how lovely I found your entry today to be. I'm sitting here in my classroom after school, praise and worship music is playing in the background, and I sit here at my computer and cry. I cry and read and nod my head sooooooo in agreement. I read some more and cry and feel your emotions through our own experience. I don't remember what it is like to be a "normal" mom...every thought now goes through the "cancer filter" that God put there. I so agree that in a weird way cancer has been a blessing. I hope I am a better mother, a better wife,a better teacher, and a better Christian. Only God can take such a wretched situation and turn it around to be something good! We DO serve a powerful amazing God. You really summed up many of our same emotions! We are glad we have met you too!
On a lighter note....just wanted to say that we are still trying to go to Lighthouse. We have asked for 9/30-10/3 or 10/13-16. Maybe we'll see ya there afterall!
Thanks again for the awesome journal! I loved reading it.

Hey D.D.,
THanks for sharing your thoughts, but I must say, you scared me to death! First, you say you've been putting this off, and then I missed the 2004 at the beginning and I see all the talk about the mass, and I thought it was recent. My heart literally fell to my stomach! I'm so glad that wasn't the case, and I figured it out quickly!
Mary Grace is absolutely beautiful - I love the hair do! When you talk about all the things she does it reminds me so much of Sam - those second children will really do you in! But they always keep you laughing too!
We rejoice with y'all and couldn't be happier for this year to be over! We love y'all!

Hi guys! Just checking in. We've got scans today and then we head home. We're up next week, but it's a quick trip. What are you guys doing in July? We should be up sometime in the middle, but I don't have a date yet.
Hey, Lighthouse is coming up!!! This thrills me to no end and we can't wait (except of course when I think about bathing suits!!)
Hope to see you guys soon.

"Love is a Battlefied" ..... 8th grade??? Wow, I am really a lot older than you!!! (well, a few years, anyway!) Sounds like your summer is going to be awesome! Kendrie's next clinic visit is June 16th at 1pm .. we are writing everyone we know in the Atlanta area to see if anyone would like to meet at Fuddruckers for lunch that day beforehand???? We'll have the whole gang with us, so it might be fun! Or frightening, depending on how my kids behave!! :) Glad to hear everything is well with you guys,

Oh, we love the pics! My favorite, though, has to be of Gracie plating her handprint. She was SO adorable and full of life that day. However, she's got a serious hairdo working, too. I think the look may be the next "Rachel!"
Love IS a battlefield! Don't we know it!
Love you guys; looking forward to July!

Dear Georgia Friends, School is out here in Missouri, too. Time for the lake, trips, sleeping in, being with family and friends. There's a chance we will be driving thru Georgia this summer. If so, I will call you! That would be great to get the kids together to play.
June 1st is rapidly approaching when we go to Memphis for Jill's nine month post treatment check up. You know the feeling. Nerve-wracking to say the least.
Have a safe Memorial Day weekend.

For you parents
God Made You For A Reason
When I look upon my screen
I find a happy reason
the joy that comes to me from you
is gratitude so very pleasing...
What a wonderful creator
that made a friend like you,
He placed a sweet kind person
and gave me lots of comfort too.
A world without your kindness
would be a sad sad world.
But I don't have to worry,
there's no need to be,
because of you I am very happy,
and that's good enough for me.
I've found great people everywhere,
they come into my life.
Just like you, all those others too,
have given me delight.
So I thank God I met you,
I thank him for all seasons.
Now I know for sure with all my heart,
GOD Created YOU for a reason.
LOVE BRENDA

Hee Hee Between Catie, Jack, and Mary Grace, I'm not sure if the staff realizes what sort of tornado they are getting into! Maybe I'll buy a 6 pk of Red Bull for them! Hee Hee

Hey, you guys, I'm sad to report that we won't be joining you guys at camp this weekend -- Blaine just can't manage the walk around the campsites yet, after his surgery. We were holding out until the last minute, hoping he would feel up to it, but it just isn't happening. I called Kerri to cancel our spot so they could give it to someone else (sniff, sniff!) :)
You guys have a fabulous time, though, and give Jenny, Tre and Catie a huge hug from me! Can't wait to hear about it when you return!!

DD, I am so bummed!!! I was sitting in the Scottish Rite waiting room yesterday morning with all three kids and my mom, waiting to be called back for Kendrie's appt, when I overheard one of the staff say (I know they have those partitions up for privacy, and he wasn't yelling; I just happened to be sitting three feet from him) that "Mary Grace Dixon's mom just called and they're running a little late for their 11am appt" and I looked at my watch and thought, "Shoot! We're going to be gone before they get here!!!" We wound up leaving around 11am. I looked for you everywhere .... the clinic, and even the parking lot as we were leaving! (Wow, that makes me sound sort of like a stalker, doesn't it?)
Anyway, I'm sorry that we missed you guys but thrilled beyond words to hear the great news about the scans!!! I tell you what, Mary Grace stood tall, kicked some cancer behind, and now there's no stopping her! :)
We will still see you guys in April at Family Camp, right? I'm really hopeful Blaine is feeling good enough to go by then. (Shhh, if not, maybe I'll leave him behind and take the kids myself!) Hope you had a great Easter,

D.D., we aren't back in Atlanta until the week of 4/20. Just didn't want you to rearrange your schedule for Wed. When we just get vincristine we do it in Savannah. We were in town last week for big chemo. We can't wait to see you guys though!!
Big hugs and prayers for tomorrow!!

Sometimes I feel like my heart will literally break under the weight of the burden I carry for them. I join you so much in praying for all of them and living life differently so that somehow, someway, all the suffering is not without meaning. Hope to see y'all soon!

I just left a message on Catie's website and noticed your posting . . .we just recently moved to Canton in November and I can't believe I check up on your family daily and you are so close! We are friends of the Maxey's (angel Maddy) and got to your site through Catie. Glad to know we are neighbors! Maybe we will see you at the ballpark or around town . . . my son plays T-Ball - probably the same association as Grant! I will continue praying for Mary Grace's continued good health and for your entire family.

My sister is part of Caringbridge and she sent me to your site. I was diagnosed with a grem cell tumor in my heart cavity when I was two, and she thought that I could offer some words of encouragement. When I was diagnosed in 1987 no doctor had ever seen anything like the tumor that I had and basically everything they tried was completely experimental. But the doctors, as well as my family, friends, and the prayers received were amazing and I was taken off treatment in two years and have been cured now for about 15 years. I'm a freshman in college and have only scars to remind me of what I went through. I thank God for my life everyday that I wake up and know that there's an awesome reason that I'm here. Hang in there, because God works miracles each and every day, especially for those that trust in Him. I'm praying for you!

CONGRATS on the great news! My littlest sister was diagnosed with a germ cell tumor when she was 2. By the time they found it, the tumor had spread throughout her chest and into her heart. She went through two years of treatment and 3 surgeries but I'm happy to report that she is now halfway through her first year of college and doing great! Keep your heads up :D You have a beautiful little girl.

I work at the University of Arkansas for Dean Doyle Z. Williams. That's how I heard about Mary Grace (actually from Maynette). My prayers are going out to you, the family, but my very special prayer is going out to Mary Grace for a quick and full recovery. God works miracles and I know he will work one for Mary Grace. I've put her on our prayer list at church and we will be praying for her at my next women's bible study group. May God Bless each one of you and may you draw inner strength from him. He is the almightly, holy one.

We had a son diagnosed with MD in 2000. If it were not for our Heavenly Father, I could not make it through one single minute of one single day! He gives me the grace to carry on. As you work to bring about a cure for this dreadful disease, I know God will bless your every step.

Well, Happy Valentine's Day...Happy Valentine's Week...Happy Hospital Week.....just Happy Week!!
We have really had you all on our minds and in our prayers, we are committed to praying those surgeons right through this surgery!! It is, anyway, just their parts doing God's work - prayer is our way of being there too! We know that God will see you through.
We were reminded today in Sunday School that sometimes we commit to letting God take control, but we try to do the work. You and your family exemplify sitting back and letting God take the reigns...as hard as it may be. I hope that I am just like you when I grow up (sadly, I am older than you...but let's not share that with everyone!). Honestly, we think you are all so awesome and your entire family is such a testimony. I know that God has such big plans for you, you are good and faithful servants, He is proud!!
Love to all,

For some reason we have it on our prayer sheet at our church that Mary Grace's surgery is tomorrow (Feb. l4th). Maybe the Lord did that on purpose, making sure everyone was really bathed in prayer before the actual surgery. Just want you to know all of your family are being lifted in prayer here in Tulia, Texas!!!

Thought I'd share with you that after you and Mary Grace visited Kylie in the hospital the other day, someone came up to me and said "where's your daughter's dress?" I was like "what??" She said, "you know, the purple dress and hat she was wearing earlier today." I laughed! I guess Kylie and Mary Grace DO look a lot alike after all! Thanks for visiting! We BOTH loved it.

We are so glad that you are doing well and that you have the surgeons that you are most comfortable with. It is a huge relief when you can trust in your medical team. I am so sad to hear about Stephanie. I have followed her through other sites. Blake has lost two friends that he has been hospitalized with and played with at the clinic; in the past two months. He is probably going to begin therapy for post traumatic stress syndrom. It is very disheartening as a parent to see other children pass. It doesn't matter the type, cancer is cancer. God bless you all and good luck in the following days.

I know that everything will go perfectly just as God plans.
Little note here - I don't usually have my speakers turned up on my computer so a lot of the time I don't know what music is on the websites I visit. However, I had them on today. Whoa! I was not prepared for the music change to Butterfly Kisses and now I'm sitting here in a weepy puddle! My husband just said "I thought you said she got good news!" :D Oh well, they are frustrated tears for all you've had to endure and happy tears that you're almost done!

Hey, you guys! We had such a nice time at dinner on Tuesday and enjoyed spending time with you. Kendrie, as I type this, is sleeping with her stuffed animal (She keeps calling it a fox, although I'm not sure what it is???) Todd, you rock! :)
Valentines Day, hmmm? Well, I guess there is no better gift that a successful surgery for Mary-Grace, right? We will be anxiously awaiting the scan results for next week. Hope Todd's trip goes well,

March isn't good for us, plus I'm not sure if it will be warm enough (I am kind of a weenie when it comes to cold weather!) It would be great if we could be there at the same time!!! And our next clinic appointment is the 25th; will we get to see you there? Kendrie has chemo and a spinal tap at 12:30 .... how about you guys??

Good luck with the CT scan tomorrow. I have had several myself and it is not great fun, but not terrible either. I understand how you feel about the surprises. Almost three years ago I went into surgery thinking they would remove a swollen lymph node and *possibly* my thyroid. 7 long hours later (it was short for me, but very long for my family), I learned that the doctors were quite surprised to find my neck filled with thyroid cancer! Three months ago I had to have surgery again for some more cancerous lymph nodes...I prayed for NO SURPRISES...I actually begged! I got that wish and it turned out that the cancer looked to be left over from the first surgery instead of a reoccurence. I am a mother of three children (7, 3, and 10 months) and I wanted to be done with the whole cancer thing! I know that I am not quite there...but I can smell my summer coming...here's to a quick return to summer for you!

We've come to your webpage through Kylie's. We prayed for her allday for a successful surgery and sure enough, GOD stepped in right on time!!! We will add you to our prayer lists and pray your surgery is just as successful, or better yet, we will pray for clear scans!!!!!

Mary Grace, I know I must have something about bald heads (my husband is bald) but my goodness, you have got the cutest bald head I have ever seen. Every time your mommy puts up a new picture, you make me smile all over. You are my hero. You go girl. We will be praying for good scans for you and a positive operation for your friend Kylie. Tell you daddy not to work too hard in Mississippi. That playing golf can get you sometimes. Have a wonderful week.

I am so thrilled for you that radiation is OVER! And I certainly hope you enjoy your few weeks of "normal" before the consultations and surgery. I'm sure the pressure is huge, but how exciting to know the end is in sight and then this will be nothing more than a scene in your rear-view mirror. Not that you will ever forget, I'm sure ..... but I'm so hopeful and prayerful that MG goes on to lead a normal, healthy, boring, amazing life and nothing like this ever crosses your path again. (does that even make sense? It does in my head, anyway, ha!)
Hope you have a wonderful weekend .... keep us posted on how next week goes.
Take care,

It's so good to hear that yall are doin well also. I was so happy to read that a glimmer of normalcy has begun to show up in your lives again. Mary Grace looks adorable in her (what else?)PRINCESS outfit! My family and I will be praying that everything goes perfectly in choosing the surgeons and in the actual surgery. Good luck! xoxo, MaryAnn

For DD and Gracie from Poppie...
God made the world with its towering trees,
majestic mountains and restless seas,
then paused and said, "It needs one more thing."
Someone to laugh and dance and sing,
to walk in the woods and gather flowers,
to commune with nature in quiet hours.
So God made little girls
with laughing eyes and bouncing curls,
with joyful hearts, and beautiful smiles,
enchanting ways and feminine wiles.
And when He'd completed the task He'd begun,
he was pleased and proud of the job He'd done.
For the world when seen through a little girl's eyes
greatly resembles paradise.

Princess Gracie,
You are absolutely the cutest thing going! We're sure the Egg and Emory will miss your "radiant" smile and Mom's sense of humor (boy, you got to have one, right?) Congrats on completing your awesome, CURING, treatments!
We will be praying in the days to come for the right surgeon to come your way. Mary Grace will recieve the best care, no matter what choice you make... God is watching out for the best interest of your amazing hero. But, just to be sure, we'll put in a good word (especially for the wisdom of choice on your end.) Many, many thoughts coming your way.
Love you (and am so happy not to be playing you in tennis right now!)

D.D. and family, I'm so glad that this part of the journey is over for you. The kids and I are still praying hard for you every night. It's so amazing to see the wonderful smile on Mary Grace - and the rest of you, for that matter. I hope the "down time" that you have refreshes all of you before the next step. My good friend's son, Blake, is doing well and on his journey through radiation. Please check his website and send some prayers his way. He's through with chemo and is on his second set of 22 radiation treatments. http://www2.caringbridge.org/hi/blakeyoung/index.htm
His mom checks on Mary Grace occasionally and has her on Blake's website. We are still hoping and praying that your family will make it to the reunion in June. It's a good goal to shoot for! We love you!

I finally got the courage to look at Gracies website. All I can say is wow, I am speechless. Your family has been through so much, Gracie is so strong! When I think of her my heart breaks & I begin to cry, just wondering why such a wonderdul, sweet little girl would have to go through this. God has his plans & I know that everything will all work out to His will. Stay strong! I am so thankful that she is close to the end of this. Your family has made a big impact on me & my family. On our christmas get-together we all gathered around and prayed for Gracie, Hayley & the others before present time. We love you all so much & are very thankful that we know you all. If there is anything we can do please let us know. I will definitely be checking in. May God bless you tremendously this new year!

You and your Mother have been the two most "Courageous & Brave" ladies I have ever known and I am so Proud of you. I think we can see a little light at the end of the tunnel. Only two more Radiation treatments this week and that will be the end of that phase of your treatment. We now have 2 down (Chemo & Radiation) and now we wait for the Surgery at the end of January. I love you Gracie and DD. Love, Mom

Ok i have to just say that sweater is adorable,where did you get that .. Can you ask your mommy to write me and let me know if they're avaliable to buy and from where because i run something called Cancer Warriors and i know lots of angels who'd love to know about the for their warriors.

Greetings from not very sunny California. We were again heartened to hear Mary Grace is continuing to do so well with her radiation. She looks absolutely wonderful. We will both think of your family during the holiday. It is an inspiration to see all of you and makes us so thankful for our bounty. GIfts are a waste of time for us "older" folks. We asked instead for friends to donate to caringbridge or a similar group in our name. I encourage others of you out there to do the same.
Regards, Mike and Stefanie

I love to read your entries...they are very inspiring. Mary Grace is such a cutie patootie. She is just gorgeous. I could not get her Halloween picture out of my head because it was so precious and now the Christmoose...just perfect. I had hoped that you would never take the Halloween picture down...now, I don't want you to take away that Christmoose picture.
I pray for all good things for you all. Mary Grace is doing great with radiation...what a trooper. And, she even looks cute while she is having it. What a great sense of style she has...
I read your entry today and had to write. Once upon a time I played tennis with Becky Liggin. Tell her Ann from the old Springbrook team said hello. She is a wonderful person and I know very sympathetic to your needs.
Happy Holidays...ann butler

Mary Grace,
We are so happy you're doing so great! We knew you'd be a radiation champ --- you have winner written all over your face! By the way, could that face be any cuter next to the Christmoose? Jack loved that thing, and now I wish we had a picture of his cute mug with it too. Is it worth a trip back to the Egg? Umm, don't think so!!!
Cheering for you every step of the way!

Hi Mary Grace and family,
What a beautiful little girl! I found your page from Haley's page. Mary Grace will most certainly be in our prayers. I have been there. Not exactly in your shoes, but I have in idea. My husband and I found out when our daughter, Abigail, was 4 months old that she had cancer. Abigail is just a few months older than Mary Grace. She turned two in February. After surgery and chemo, her cancer is gone and has been for quite some time. Two years now. We are going to be praying that Mary Grace has the same results. Take care of yourselves and I will be back to check on y'all soon.

Hey guys- Glad to hear eeverything is going well. We keep meaning to call you guys for some dinner but things have become a little hectic the last few days. Kylie is saying Mary Grace at home. It is so funny how she can remember her name. We miss seeing you guys but we are glad we don't. It would mean we were in the hospital. I promise a dinner evening with the kids. We will call and try to set something up. Tell everyone "hello" and hopefully we will see you soon. Prayers for Gracie and the family. God Bless, The Barrys.

Hi Guys!
Glad things are going well and that you're begining to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Sorry it's taken me so long to get in touch with you while we're in town. Since we got discharged on Friday, we've managed to make 2 visits to the ER! No big deal, just port troubles.
We're here through Tues. night or Wed. morning. I know things are crazy with radiation and all, but if you want to try to get together, give me a call. We'd love to see you! Cell phone is probably the best bet. (912)658-6107
Hope to talk to you tomorrow!!
Take care,

Hi! I'm William's sister. I think we met in the clinic one time right before we went in for transplant...I was pushing Will around the infusion area on a doctor's stool...and may have, well, um pushed him out and he landed on the floor, sending the nurses running! Mary Grace (among others!) was looking at us like "who let those crazies in here??" I think we said a quick hello, but I remember because Mary Grace was (and is) so cute!! And of course because the nurses were not very happy with us for setting a bad example for all the other kids (but hey, Will had been there ALL day and we were REALLY bored!). I put your link on our site so everyone could read your wonderful words, and I will be checking on Mary Grace to see her cute pictures : )

Hello, family. You don't know me - I heard about Mary Grace through my mom in Texas, who works with a woman who works with a cousin of yours. Every so often, my mom updates me on Mary Grace's progress (you've got quite a little network of support established) and I wanted to check on you all myself. I wanted to say that you have been in my prayers, and those of my little 16 month-old son, Wyatt. We pray for Mary Grace and your family every night. My second cousin lost his 3 year old son to cancer on 7/29/04, and though I wasn't close to the situation, I cannot tell you how appreciative I became of my own child and all the "little things" you mention. I try to remind myself when I become frustrated by the typical toddler behavior that this time is short and precious, and that we are not guaranteed a long life on earth, only in heaven with our Lord. That something could happen to him in a heartbeat. Or to me. Or to my husband. And so every single moment is a gift that should be treasured. And your entry of 11/29 reminded me of that. You all are totally inspirational.
I am so happy to hear that Mary Grace is beating the evil c-word. Thank you GOD! I pray she continues on this very wonderful path!
God bless you all. Have a very, very blessed Christmas season.

This is my first visit to your site, and I must say that you have put such a simple sentiment, very eloquently. It is a shame that it sometimes takes a major tradegy, to put life into perspective, but if there is any gift in the unexpected, it is to live each day as if you are dying. Only then, can we fully enjoy each moment as it is, and not as we think it should be.
Your little girl is beautiful, and I will be sending her constant prayers for healing and joyful days.
Happy Thursday!

I do not have a child with cancer, but my best friend's son does. (You may know them, LaFortune Scott and her son Brady). Everything you said is so true. I have had these feelings ever since Brady was diagnosed. I hate that it took something so hard on someone so dear to me to wake me up from that very selfish sleep I was in. I am however, greatful for everything I have learned because of it. I have learned to be a better mother, better wife, better friend, and I have learned to love people I have never met. My life has certainly changed for the better. Thank you for sharing so much of your life so that people like me can change.
I am so sorry that this is happening to your child. I do not know what it is like to have a child with cancer, but I do know what it is to be a mom and I know how deep that love is. I will pray for your child as well as all of your family.
Next Thanksgiving, cancer free!!!!

Hi Dixons...I haven't written for awhile but that doesn't mean you are out of my thoughts and prayers!! Ron & I pray that Christmas will find you all well and healthy and cancer free!! That would be the best present any of us could receive. Keep leaning on Jesus' strong arms. He is going to see you all through this valley and then on to the mountain top!!! What a view there will be from there. We sure love all of you!!! Love, Ron & Betty, FBCW

I sure hope you guys are home!!!! We're going to be in town for 9-10 whole days, so if you're free and Mary Grace is feeling ok, we'd LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to see you!! We'll be inpatient for only 3 of those days, so there should be some room for some fun after the "chemo hangover." I think I've misplaced your number (AGAIN!!), so I'll just post here when we get to town.
Hope Gracie is feeling good!

Just thinking of you as I know your day started EXTREMELY early this morning. Praying all went well and that Gracie's body is continuing to handle things well. Most of all, praying for NO remaining cancer cells. I hate we're not there with you guys this week, we don't come until next week. It's always a brighter visit when you guys are on the hall. But TRUST ME!! We don't want any surprise fever visits from you next week!!
Take care and know we're praying.
Much love,

Hi, Mary Grace,
I got a call today from Cathy Durham, who is married to my cousin, Don, and she told me about your cancer.
In 2002 I was diagnosed with cancer, which is now in my liver.
God has been SO good to me through it all. I'll be praying for you and your family. God is still working miracles and I'll be praying for a miracle in your life.
One of my favorite Psalms is 121. Get your mom to read it to you. At your young age you probably won't understand all it means, but your mom will.
You look so cute in your Raggedy Ann costume. Keep smiling!!!

I'm so sorry for all that you have to endure, but you are so lucky to have such a doll to brighten your days. Thank you for sharing her and allowing me to add her to my prayers. God Bless you all!

Thanks for the update. My heart goes out to you all. I will pray for your peace as you make these decisions, and for God's grace on little Gracie's body as she has to undergo all this. I just keep thinking of the amazing plan God must have for Mary Grace in order to bring her through all this (and the amazing plan He must have for her parents as well!) God's peace to you today.

It was great seeing you guys in the hospital yesterday. Of course, it will be better the next time we see you at a park, or playground, or germ-infested Chuck E Cheese or something! :)

Hey guys!
I love the Halloween pictures! I've been checking the site several times a day, and I'm wondering if I'm missing something because of the last entry in the guestbook. But never mind, you may not have time to update it. It sounds like your news may not be as good as you had hoped, and we will pray all the more for y'all! We love y'all and know that God has a plan for Mary Grace's life. And, D.D., just want you to know you looked beautiful in those pictures. While of course I pray for M.G. every day, I especially lift you up as well - I can't imagine how your heart must ache when you see your baby in pain. But I praise God for your hope and faith. He will carry you through.
We love you all,

I did not get a chance to tell how nice it was to meet you at the clinic on Friday. Mary Elizabeth started not feeling very well a short time after the IV's started and she needed to lay down. I am so glad we found Mary Grace's caringbridge page so we can keep up with her progress.
I know you do not have very much free time but I found the ASL Browser we were discussing, the site is http://commtechlab.msu.edu/sites/aslweb/browser.htm.

D.D., hi! You are probably meeting with the doctors right now and I hope things are going well. I am thinking about you and stopped right before I typed this journal entry to say a prayer for you. I would call you on your prayer beeper, but my cell phone is out in the car!
Kendrie's next chemo appt is Tuesday (the 2nd) at 9:30 am. She is having a spinal, and we'll most likely be done by noon, but I'm not sure if we can stay. My other two get out of school at 3pm and this is the one day (wouldn't you just know it?) that my husband can't pick them up. So we'd have to leave no later than 12:45 or 1pm. I'm not sure if that would give us enough time to eat????
What do you think? I'll check back for an update on today's appointment. Your comments about your brother were cracking me up!!!

It must be very very difficult for the doctor's to say, can't really tell...and for you to have to hear it. Praying for every aspect of this and each of you. You are a blessing to me far greater than I can express. It's so awesome to read the Christ in all of your updates and to see the expressions on your children's faces. God bless you.

So glad to continue to hear such great progress! We continue to pray for you all, especially for your sweet Mary Grace. She amazes us all, I think it is the great big smile that she is ALWAYS wearing that is so wonderfully contagious and brings us all back for more of her beautiful pictures and her Mom's great, uplifting writing.
Brooke and Sydney enjoyed cheering on the hogs this weekend all the while mentioning often that we were playing "Mary Grace's Team...the DAWGS" and then they would giggle - as if a bulldog for a mascot was worse than a hog. We have brainwashed them! I guess though we didn't quite cheer loud enough the second half, but you could tell we were there the first half. We were actually sick here so we attribute the loss to our dozing through the second half thanks to some Emitrol and Tylenol cocktail combos!
Well, we love to hear your updates and seeing Mary Grace at the next family reunion makes the girls look forward to it even more than they usually do. The kids always have so much fun meeting (or re-meeting) the others kids and playing together.
God's Love and prayers from your Arkansas prayer buddies,

Hi Mary Grace and family. When I got this e-mail I didn't know who it was from so I checked your guestbook. It must have come from my church family. I'm so glad someone sent it to me. I have just had my granddaughter, Natalie GRACE, for the past week. She's 10 months old. We had such a great time. There are so many people in your guestbook that I know you must be loved alot too. I know for sure that God loves you most of all. I'll be praying for all of you as you fight this battle. I pray that God gives you all His peace and that He works his healing in you in a mighty way. Prayer is a powerful tool God has given us. I'll share this site with my friends. Give Mary Grace a big hug from "Natalie's Grandmother."

Hey, wanted to stop in and say hello! We have our next clinic visit on the 2nd of November, so if MG is indeed having surgery that week, we'd love to stop by and visit, if she is feeling up to company. This time, let *us* treat *you* to lunch!!!
I see from your journal entry that you are suffering from the little-known side effect from chemotherapy that many of the moms on my ALL-list complain about --- C.M.S. "Chemo-Mom Spread", the symptom where our bodies tend to spread wider and wider while we are enduring (and often eating alongside!) our children's steroid cravings, spending way too much time sitting in the clinic and the hospital, getting zero exercise, and eating more fast food on the way to and from clinic than a person should ever have to endure!!! Actually, the last time I saw you I thought you looked great, but if you say you need to lose 20 pounds, then I feel your pain, girlfriend!!!
Hope you are all doing well,

What great news!!
Each day we learn more and more of God's grace and goodness. As He said, if we as humans love our children, how much more he cares for them. When something like this happens to a precious child, how can we ever expect to say it was a good thing, but all the prayers, friends, outpourings of love are good things and something to be thankful for.
Love to you all.

Hello to all! What great fun camp must have been. How I would have LOVED to have seen the pie go to Todd's face :) I'm sure I owe him for something from our childhood and that would have been a GREAT payback! It does look like you all had a wonderful time. You are such a blessed family to have each other and all the family and friends. You are constantly in my prayers and on my mind. Don't forget Nashville as a "Rest Area" following those Dawgs across the county............. I must say the UT fans spared no punches from the outcome of the UGA v UT game. I'm just a red blob in a sea of orange. You all take good care. I hope Gary and I come stop in and see you on our way back to TN from GA over the Thanksgiving holiday. God Bless you all!

Hi Dixons: So happy you guys had fun at Camp Sunshine. I know you all needed a break and it sounds like you had a blast. God really does provide what we need!! We are praying for you this week (and every week) that the chemo will go better than last time. We hate to think of Mary Grace having to undergo any additional suffering. We give thanks to the Lord for bringing you all through this journey like He has. You are an inspiration to so many people. You will never know how many hearts your experiences have touched. Maybe one day when you get to Heaven someone will walk up to you and say "thanks". Let us know if you need anything at all. We sure do love you guys!! Love, Ron and Betty Wootton

Keep providing your beautiful little girl with all the love and devotion she deserves. The Lord has blessed the world with Mary and the faith of her family and her new-found friends will allow her to overcome these obstacles and lead a long healthy life.
With three children of my own, I've learned to cherish every waking moment with them - as I know you do as well... Mary, along with your family, will forever be included in our prayers.
God Bless You All

Hello Firends - We met briefly a few months ago and have kept up with ya'll thru your site. My Haley (16) has had cancer for 3 years. It ended up in the brain. On Aug. 10th the dr.s told me she did not have but 2-3 months to live. Our church started a 24 hr prayer vigil the night before surgery. The dr's told us only a miracle would heal her. SHe has had 4 major surgeries, each time the tumor has been cancercous. August 19th we had surgery and it was not cancer, it was radiation narcosis. SO WE KNOW GOD IS THE ALMIGHT HEALER AND MIRACLE WORKER. Haley has a caringbridge site/haleyeason.

Dear MaryGrace and folks,
I am writing to tell you that our prayer ministry is praying for you. Gina Davis submitted your names to us.
I think she lives near your grandparents. At any rate,
we are from Locust Grove Methodist Church in Locust Grove,
Georgia. My husband, Joe Collins, is in charge of our ministry which includes 10 other church members. We have been praying for you for several months now.
I loved the pictures of you guys at camp. As a parent and grandparent, I know that behind those smiles, there are worry,fear, and tears. In Isaiah 43 we are reminded that "I have called you by name, and you are mine." We know God is there and also know how many times you have called his name. Just know that there are many others who are calling God's name on your behalf. Yours in Christian love,
Linda and Joe Collins

Hi Gracie. You just got back from camp and mommy tells me you caused quite a stir. I told your mommy that she must have you confused with another bald headed baby. She assures me however that it was you playing in the rain and catching raindrops on your tongue. That 's my little girl. I love you. Glad you guys had fun. Hey G-man I love you too. :)

Wow, what an awesome family you guys are. Such positive attitudes through so much adversity. I was emailed this website by a friend. I have two friends currently suffering from Breast Cancer, one just found out that it has spread to her ovaries. I know this is different from a child suffering, but I do see their children suffering as well. Cancer is so prevasive; it touches so many.
You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers as you go on this journey. Always know that God is there for you no matter what. Your strong faith is inspiring to us all. God Bless you and keep you. His light shine upon you.

Hi D.D.!!
Yikes!! What a week. I'm sorry it's been so eventful. Hoping things slow down and that you guys are able to go to family camp this weekend. We're in for chemo tonight and head home tomorrow. The bad news on that is we probably won't be able to join you guys for lunch on Friday (with Kristie!!). =( Hopefully next time.
Keep us posted on when they're going to put the CVL line back in. You know we're praying!
Talk to you soon!

Hi DD,
My name is Paige Purvis and we met at Scottish Rite a little over a week ago. Our daughter is Elly...or Ellery as the nurses like to call her. I hope Mary Grace is doing well. I have been thinking of you as I know that you have some big things coming in the next few weeks. I will be keeping up with her through this page. Elly has a caringbridge page also. Check it out!

Precious Mary Grace - It sure was fun having "tubie time" with you tonight. You are a most precious little girl. I know God has great and wonderful plans for your life and He will be with you every step of the way! You captured my heart tonight and I feel very blessed to meet you and your family. Tell Grant that I think he is a super kid and a great brother. And tell Mom and Dad to "keep the faith" as they already are. I will be praying for God's many blessings to shower down on you.

Dear D.D. -
You know, I've always thought that the siblings are the unsung heroes in all of this. My heart goes out to Grant and you all as you help him to feel special. Hasanyone told you about supersibs? Today, Ryan (our oldest) got a trophy (yes, a real trophy!) in the mail that had his name on it and said, "For your courage, strength and love, you are a supersib!" His smile went ear to ear. He is so proud, he is insisting on taking it to school. Check out www.supersibs.org. I hope this is helpful.
Hoping to meet you in person soon!
Love,
Kristin Connor

Hi, DD and Mary Grace! I'm so glad to hear the good news about Mary Grace's last chemo visit. And so impressed with that cool-looking IV pole get-up! :)
We are coming in on Friday for Kendrie's chemo. The appt is at 3pm, but I'm pulling all three kids out of school (shhh! Don't tell!) and would love to meet you guys for lunch, if that's still convenient. I've written Jenny, too, to see what she and Catie are doing. Hopefully we can work something out!
Hope you had a good weekend in the meantime. Continued prayers for all of you!

Dear Mary Grace and Family - Our grandson, Blake Young was diagnosed with cancer in June. We know what a blow it can be to a young family. The good news is that it brings people closer to God, family and friends. God continues to work miracles in Blake's life and we're sure he will do the same for you. Keep the faith and know things will improve eventually.
Your relative (cousin, I think), Teresa Beckham, of Round Rock, TX has been such a help to our daughter and son-in-law, Russ and Lisa Young by organizing everything possible for them. People to cook, clean, mow, shop, etc. I'm sure you have a wonderful support group too. You end up with friends you never knew before.
God be with you and your family. Love and prayers to Mary Grace.

Hello Mary Grace & family I am so proud of all of you and give all Praise to Our Heavenly Father for His love and care
more important is knowing that all of you know where our strength and hope comes from.Jimmy was praying for Mary Grace one day when he was out in the pasture with the cows and he told me that did not hear God speak to him but that he had such a warm feeling and something telling him that Mary Grace was going to be completly healed. We do claim that .Todd I am so glad that God sent DD to you and to us I am very blessed to be a part of your family.My sunday school class and my monday morning bible study are praying for all of you.

Just wanted to let you guys know that you are in our prayers. We get to your site from Catie's. Mary Grace is an absolute doll!!! I noticed that she was sitting on the IV pole chair thing in one of the pictures. I think that was my daughter McKenzie's, and we donated it to the cancer floor. It was just too pretty to not be used. I don't know if that one is it or not but McKenzie's name is underneath. It was just nice to see such a angel using it. We also like the pic of Mary Grace with Holly, she is our favorite too!!!!! We just love her. We will continue to pray for complete and total healing.
Love and Hugs,

We are thrilled to hear about the new lower numbers. Congratulations Mary Grace! The new pictures are wonderful. I want to know what Bubble Mania is. I had no idea so much went on at the hospital. DD, your Mom invited me to take your place tonight for the dinner at Woodstock Baptist Church. It was quite good. The decorations, door prizes (one person from our table won), and speaker were outstanding. Sorry you couldn't make it but your ticket was not wasted. Our love to you and your family--

So glad to hear good news! Brooke and Sydney stayed the weekend with Nanny and Pa (JG and Sonnie Wells) and one of the first things we heard when we picked them up was "Mom, mom, Mary Grace went from like 70,000 to like 800. Isn't that great!!" As if they (or I honestly) had a clue what that meant. But, nurse Nanny had told them of the update and they were so sincerely excited to hear it, it was the first thing they wanted to tell us! As we are all so glad to hear it!
We love the newest hospital photos. The Dora shoes are sooo cute! We have to look at the pictures slowly and for a long time, sometimes two or three times. The girls just love seeing Mary Grace and her beautiful big smile.
We continue to pray here as we watch what God is doing in your life and what He is using you for in the lives of others. Love,

Little Mary Grace,
Brooke and Sydney have really been praying hard for you. We sat down for quite awhile the other night and looked at all your pictures on this great web site. I think our favorite is the cutie black and white one, we love the hat one too. The pictures are so sweet, the girls laugh out loud each time another one comes up. The Halloween one is one they both squeal over!
We just wanted to send a note to you so that when you get home this week you can be assured we are all up praying for you day and night. When it comes to praying for our little ones, we all understand what is meant by 'pray continually'...we are doing it girl!!
We are so proud of how well everything is going for you and know that God is sitting by your side, right there with your Mommy. Be sure and thank her for inviting Him! Praying, praying and more praying here,

Mary Grace and family,
My son was diagnosed with stage III Hodgkins diseas on June 7 2004. It has been along battle but Blake is a living testament that prayer works. I wanted to sare a poem I received with you and your faithful supporters.
Gods Cake
Sometimes we wonder "what did I do to deserve this? or Why God had to let this happen to me?" Here is a woderful explanation.
A daughter is telling her mother how everything is going wrong. She is failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her and her best friend is moving away.
Meanwhile her mother is baking a cake and asks the daughter if she would like a snack, and the daughter says, "absolutely I love your cake."
"Here have some cooking oil," her mother offfers "Yuck" says the daughter. "How about a couple of raw eggs?" "Gross , Mom." "Would you like flour then? or nmaybe baking soda?" those are all yucky!"
To which her mother replies "Yes, all those things seem bad themselves. But when you put them together they make a delicious cake!
God works the same way. Many times we wonder why he lets us go through such difficult times. But God knows that if He puts these things in His order they always work for good you just have to trust Him and eventually they will make something wonderful. God is crazy about you Mary Grace. He send you flowers in the spring and a sunrise every morning.
Whenever you want to talk he will listen. He can live anywhere in the universe and He chose your heart.
You are all very strong. I thank the Lord everyday for the wonderful support we have received. It sounds like you are also very blessed to have so many wonderful people who want to help where ever and when ever. Things will get better as you know. Know that you are not alone in this journey and neither is your beautiful Mary Grace. God Bless You All.

She is keeping me abreast and now I have this site. I will continue to follow your family's progress and to let others know. I live here in BridgeMill also, if there is anything I can help with PLEASE let me know. I also drive a bus for Cherokee County now, so I still meet and see many people. Really anything. Take Care and keep on believing. PS the rock Andrea gave you is very special.

Hi Guys!! As I ate a hot dog for dinner tonight, I was dreaming of the delicious meal you brought us last Thursday!! Ohhh!!!
Hope you're all doing well! We're good. Bad news about family camp! We're going to be back and forth to Hotlanta every other week for the next 8-9 weeks, so I think we're holding off on family camp. We'd love to do it, but ugh!! That DRIVE!! We are going to be in town on 9/27-9/28 for Catie's scan and brain tumor clinic. We have that Mon. afternoon free and if she wakes up from sedation ok I was thinking of going over to Imagine It! the children's museum in Atlanta. Let me know if you guys want to go too! We'd love the company!
Have a great weekend, we'll talk to you soon!

We are thrilled to her what great progress Mary Grace is experiencing. Stefanie is a nurse and on the board of directors for our local hospice so she was happy to hear the blood tests for afp are down. She understands that stuff and knows this is a cancer that responds exceptionally well to treatment. It is so nice that she is not experiencing too much discomfort. She is going to be just fine. We will, of course, keep the prayer chain going.

I was visiting my daughter, Andrea Sinatra, your neighbor in Bridgemill, when I learned of your little angel's diagnoses. Andrea told me she spoke with you in Publix, when you acknowledged her giving our "Believe" rock to Mary Grace. It has been developing quite a history as a visible acknowledgement of so many people's faith in Our Lord.
May he continue to be your "Rock". Our prayers are with your angel and all your family.

I wasn't going to clutter the guestbook with an entry but if Poppie can, then so can I.
We have been checking your progress and reading all of those prayer warrior's good wishes and as we do our hearts join with yours in this struggle. As you know, our two year old had cancer....and that was 29 years ago. She is now our living miracle!! Thank you God for answered prayer!
Having walked in your shoes I know some of the "stuff" that your mind is doing, causing doubt, fear, anger, anxiety, just to mention a few. As has been said many times in this book, turn these issues over to God and trust Him to see you through. He can. He will.
Our prayers continue to be with you and ALL of your family during this difficult time.

Dear D.D., Todd, Grant and Mary Grace,
I continue to be amazed with her wonderful progress. I have Mary Grace on the Service League of Cherokee County's prayer list and everyone at school praying for her. You are right when you say that God hears our prayers. I am so happy that everyone is doing well. If you need anything at all, don't hesitate to call. I would be more than happy to donate blood for Mary Grace. I am sure Michael would too.
Love to all and God Bless!

So glad to hear that Mary Grace is feeling well and that Mom is helping others feel well. Not surprised, God works through great people...whether they are two or 20! I know that little Mary Grace is a blessing to many people. I am sure that the hospital staff and other patients and their families love spending time with such great and giving people like you - such a wonderful testimony of God's love and your true faith in Him.
We will keep on praying, we sure love all the great updates!

Mary Grace.
You are truly God's amazing Grace. My father, your great-grandfather, gave me an old bible with a reference to Psalm 46..."God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." (v1.)...the fifth verse says: "God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her and that right early."
God loves you and so do I,

Hi precious Dixon family!
Just to let you know how deeply we love you and how much you mean to us! The kids are praying for their buddy Grant, and Rick and I are praising God that your hope is not wavering. "For God is not unfair. He will not forget how hard you have worked for him and how you have shown your love to him by caring for other Christians, as you still do...This certain hope of being saved is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls, connecting us with God himself behind the sacred curtains of heaven, where Christ has gone ahead to plead for us from his position as our High Priest," Heb 6:10,19-20
Praise God for His promise of salvation thru Christ and His continuing love and care for every last detail about Mary Grace and you. Don't stop hoping, we love you in Christ's Name,
The Bellerjeaus

May God Bless you and the wonderful doctors (Lew, Bersagle, Files, George, and the others) nurses and hospital staff. Not only are you in the best of hands from our father and savior Jesus Christ, but the awesome staff at Childrens. We will pray for you and your family, and follow your journey.

Hi D.D. and Mary Grace! Belated (my mother would be so horified at my lack of manners!) and HUGE thank you for the wonderful lunch yesterday! It was so much better than the McD's we would have had otherwise; and even better than the food, of course, was the company. I really enjoyed visiting and at the risk of you thinking I am a stalker, I'd love another chance to get together sometime. Think how much fun it would be to get Kendrie, Catie and Mary Grace all together at once! I hope Mary Grace's chemo appointment went well; please keep us posted. Great news about the AFP levels!

Hi Mary Grace, I'm Connie Helms, your fifth cousin, I think. I'm Jean Cook's daughter. James e-mailed me your website and I think you're a brave little girl. I'm in the medical field so I know a little about what you're experiencing. You are definitely in my prayers and that of my family. I have 2 boys, Will is 10 and Joe is 8. My husband is Cecil and he picks little boys and girls up on Sunday on a big yellow bus and takes them to church to hear about Jesus. Your story has been such blessing to us. It's wonderful to hear how the Lord has worked in your situation. You've been added to our prayer list and we will visit the website to continue to get updates. We love you,

Mary Grace, what a great trip to get your blood draws yesterday. Mamaw and Mommie were excited to say the least when they told us how much your AFP level had dropped!!!!
The White Counts were still good and you were such a "Little Trooper", during all the exams. Dr. George was very pleased with Mary Grace's response to the Chemo.

HI!
Just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I enjoyed lunch yesterday!!!! It was delicious, and I wish you could have seen Catie chowing down after she woke up! That's the most she's eaten the day after this round of chemo!!! She like the little chocolate mouse. You really went ALL out and I wanted you to know how much we appreciated it. Sorry we couldn't visit longer today! Catie thoroughly enjoyed the candy though (we used it as bribery while we reaccessed her!!).
I just noticed that you go to FBC woodstock. That's the church that sponsored our Lighthouse Retreat. (Did we tell you that yesterday?) Anyway, the folks we met were so giving and gracious. They really let the light of Christ shine. Thought it was kind of cool that it was your church.
Hope to talk to you soon!

To All of Mary Grace's Family, When I continue to check the Website, I am overwhelmed, as I am certain you are, by the number of people who are praying for you all. It is impossible to view any part of it without being blessed by the wonderful things others are writing to and about you. If I am ever in need of prayer, Mammaw is going to be one of the first people I call. I have always felt a connection with prayer, but realized the true effects of it after surviving a brain aneurysm years ago. People of all faiths and religions prayed for me and I felt it. Thank you for being such a blessing to me and so many others. Much love and many prayers,

Hello Mary Grace: God is using you to test your Mother and Daddy's temper and mettle. They seem to be passing with flying colors. Now its up to you to work with them, the Doctors and Nurses, to pull through this. God will do his part. Our prayers are sent along each and every day for you and your family. We also ask that God gives the Doctors and nurses the right knowledge and techniques to help you through these trying times. I am sure that you will beat this thing and be running and playing again real soon.
Love, Uncle James and Aunt Shelby.

Dear Todd,DD,Grant& Mary Grace
I wanted to write you a quick note just to let you know that I Truly love you all. Spending time with Mary Grace this weekend was very special! (seeing you guys was great too!) She is really a gift from The Lord! My heart was broken when we got the news and I'll never forget that day in the hospital with you guys, but I know spiritually "that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose"
Ro 8:28.I guess we'll find out how many lives you impacted and the eternal difference it made for the kingdom of God with your testimony when we get HOME!!!I'll keep lifting you up in prayer and when you need ANYTHING just call us! Mike,Shari,Kris,Nikki,Katie,Ashley Wootton

To Mary Grace's family, I do not know you, but Sharon Pieplow is my best friend. I want you to know that I pray for Mary Grace every day. My own son was quite ill a few years ago, and I know the heartache of the mother of an ill child. My heart, my prayers are with all of you. I pray that God continues to give you strength and courage during these days. God bless you and your beautiful little Mary Grace.

DDD,
We got an email from Pam Willis (Simpson) and she told us about Grace. We wanted to call, but thought to send an email and not interrupt you from what has become an even busier life for you. You and yours are in our thoughts and prayers. I truly can’t imagine what you must be going through watching your little princess go through something that nobody should have to go through. I’m sure her big brother is a big help, and looking out for her. The website is great—it helps us out-of-towners keep up. When this dark cloud passes, we look forward to spending some time with the families together—hopefully Christmas this year. Give us a call if you ever want to chat. Give Grace a big hug and kiss from the Beasleys.

Hi Mary Grace and family, I'm in awe of this website guestbook. What a treasure to be able to read and publish the prayers of the saints for you all. I don't know you personally, but was introduce to your prayer needs through MOPS. May the prayers of the saints be an encouragement to you as you journey through this trial. May God grant you His peace and strength - He is sufficient for all our needs. As I'm sure in days to come you will be able to give testimony as you already are. Praise the Lord for your lives, a living testimony of our Lord. Blessings, Sue Schultz

Hi Dixons and especially Mary Grace, I looked at the pictures of your now "clean" head. You look adorable!! You know, God only makes a few perfect heads...the rest He puts hair on! Ron and I are so proud of all of you. It was great to see Todd at church on Sunday. He really needs to be able to draw strength from all the prayers that are be raised up for you. Keep strong and lean on God's strong arms! And, if there was a prize for the most beautiful, bald baby, you would win, hands down!! Love, Ron & Betty Wootton, Marietta, GA

Dear Mary Grace, I like double names, don't you. I'm your third cousin from Chattanooga. I remember your mother when she was your age. Everyone said, "That D.D. is just a wire." Not sure what that meant but it seemed to fit. Every group that I'm a part of is praying for you. My Sunday night small group has a bunch of strong prayerful people. Also my Thursday morning (7:00 am - Ugh) Bible study group called Biscuit Club is praying for you. My Sunday School Class is also praying for you. I have told other individuals about you as well.
What is the chance that when I visited my friends in Fayetteville, that they would be going to a healing service in their church? Us Presbyterians call it Providence. I attended and accepted a healing annointing. I received it for you as well as for three others who are also in need of prayer. It would be so powerful if a Grace such as you also just offered up a small prayer for Steve, Jody, and Lil. Just ask God to heal them. They are all very special, just like you.
Love you,
Charlie-Bob

Hi Gracie, I guess I would be your second cousin (your dad's first cousin). You have wonderful parents and a special big brother who Gary and I have had the joy to get to know over the years --- the travels of a GA Bulldog family. There are hundreds, if not thousands of people saying your name daily in their prayers. We also are remembering your dad, mom, and Grant. You make sure your mom and dad do what the doctors say (you have to watch them). Love to you all, Gary and Alison

Dear Todd, DiDi, Grant, and Mary Grace,
I enjoyed visiting your web site. We learned about it in SS yesterday. Mary Grace looks so sweet and so healthy in spite of what she is going throught. Grant has really grown up! He is so handsome! We are glad you are out of the hospital and back home for a while. I'm not really sure what her schedule of chemo is-we get varying reports from church. You guys are all in our prayers and we so miss seeing you in church. We have always been warmed by Mary Grace's sweet and charming little smiling face. Our love and prayers are with your family. Brett, Monica, and Austin Clark

Hey Mary Grace, Todd & family. Just wanted to let you all know what an inspiration your faith and courage is to the rest of us. I know your dad from a web site called Ga River Fishing. Last week we had a get together of fishermen from the web site and before we all headed out on the water twenty or twenty five big burly fellows took time out to offer our prayers for you. I trust God will see you through this and we will continue to pray for your family. Even during this difficult time,God is using you, as evidenced by the responses here on this web site . As I said earlier your strength and faith is an inspiration to others. May God bless you all.

Hi Mary Grace and family,
When I visited you on your first hospital stay, I was amazed at your mother. You slept through my visit, but that was fine. I had thought that I would go and be prepared to tell you all that our Heavenly Father was still in the miracle business. Instead of me being able to minister to you all I came away having been ministered to.
Praise God for you DD. What a blessing you were. We are
praying for Mary Grace and constantly remember her. God bless your family. I am glad to be related to you all.

What a wonderful Savior we serve! We do not know His mind but we know He is in control and that He loves us more than we can possibly love our own. Mary Grace is in our daily prayers as well as the prayers of our church, Second Ponce de Leon Baptist Church in downtown Atlanta. This is a very praying and caring church. We are proud to be real family with you and more proud to be in God's family with you. May He give you all the strength and love and grace you need for each new day. He alone knows all our needs and cares for us in all our endeavors. God bless each of you.

Brooke and Sydney never fail to pray for Mary Grace and for her family. They have adopted a specail prayer for Grant that he will be able to do well in school, and enjoy his time there, and not worry too much about his sister and know that God is taking care of her. Aren't kids the best! Praying always here!

DD, Todd, Grant & Mary Grace - DD, I talk to your Mom on a regular basis for updates on Mary Grace and all of you. I just met you a couple of months ago when we had lunch at Bridge Mill (I am from Dimmitt, Tx. and your Uncle Don and my brother were partners in the horse business some years ago in Hereford, Tx.) Please know how much you are in our thoughts and prayers - with so many people praying for Mary Grace, I just know she is going to come through all of this like a true little champion. I just recently mailed your Mom a letter from the First Baptist Church in Dimmitt, Tx., as my sister put her on their prayer list. I know you have so many wonderful family and friends to travel this journey with you, but if there is ever anything I can to do to help, please have Judye call me. With love and prayer - Nancy & Don Coyte

I heard about dear Mary Grace through my mom Becky Hudson (Judye's friend). We are praying for her daily. I have passed along Mary Grace's story to my friends, so they can pray for her too. She's on a prayer list at a Roswell, GA church and another one in Murphreesboro, TN. I'm thankful for this website to keep up with Mary Grace's progress. Your family is so strong and is so lucky to be blessed with such a support system. You are in our thoughts!

Hi Mary Grace and Family,
You don't know me. I heard about Mary Grace from my mom, who's friends with a woman named Marcie, who works with your mommy's cousin in Texas. I know, quite a roundabout way to hear about you and that yukky cancer you've got. I'm so sorry to hear about it, too - I know the next months will be very, very hard, and sometimes painful. I will pray that God will keep you close to him, give you lots of strength, give your mommy and daddy and big brother the strength to help you, and that He will keep you free of pain.
Your whole family will be in my prayers.
God bless you -

Hi D.D. and Todd
I must tell you that I think this website is backwards to what it was supposed to be. I thought it was supposed to be an encouragement to you, but it is having a reverse effect--it is a great source of encouragement to me! It is such a blessing to see God working in your lives, in the midst of a storm. We are singing a song on Sunday that says "His strength is perfect when our strength is gone." I know you are leaning on His strength; you just keep doing that. Please know that my family, and our church is praying for all of you.

Ashlee and I love you guys so much and will continue to lift you and Mary Grace to the Throne. God is using you and Mary Grace in so many peoples lives all across the globe. Stay strong and remember Is. 26:3, "If we keep our eyes stayed upon Him (and not our problems), He will keep us in PERFECT peace."
We love you guys and are here for you no matter what!!

Hello to everyone who is checking up on Gracie on the website!! I am at home and not at work today because I have a sinus infection. I was bored and feeling sorry for myself and decided to check up on the website to see who had visited. After reading the emails that have been posted recently, I am again amazed at the wonderful family and friends we have! Thank you to everyone who has taken time to lift up Grace in their prayers, send us a quick note, bring dinner or just be there with a hug. You have no idea how much it helps to know that there are people all over the world praying for my daughter. D.D. and I know that the prayers are working because we can feel the peace in our hearts that is the result of those prayers. I visited the hospital yesterday and Gracie was doing really well; laughing, singing, watching Barney & Dora. D.D. says she had a little nausea last night from the chemo, but a little while later Grace ate a big bowl of soup and stayed up until 11pm watching Mary Poppins with her Mom. She is an amazing little girl and we all love her very much. One thing that has helped me alot during this time is the knowledge that as much as I love her, Jesus loves her more. He is in control of the entire situation and we are just leaning on him right now! Thanks again for all your prayers and hopefully we'll be seeing many of you again soon!

Hello Mary Grace...
this is for your scrapbook, just to let you know how many people are keeping you in their prayers each and every day.
I am Cassie Tadin's Mom, Shelby's grandmother...but, Shelby calls me "Mom"...and you can too. We will be in Canton in September and October for several weeks to help Cassie when Hunter is born, so I'm hoping that we can meet you and your Mom & Dad and your brother too.
Cassie sent me an email in August telling me all about you and your family, and I put all of your information on what we call a "Prayer Chain"...it's really neat, one person tells several other people, and each of those people tell several others, and so on, and so on, and very soon many, many, many people are praying for you...and that is what is happening for you all over Tennessee and Virginia. People are telling other people all about Mary Grace and her family, and they are all praying for you.
Please tell your Mom & Dad, and your brother, that we are all praying for them too, because they all love you very much, and they need our prayers too.
I hope we see you soon.

I have passed along Mary Grace's web site to several people and there are many of those friends who have Mary Grace on their prayer lists at thier own churches. We think of you all often and pray for Mary Grace daily. Berklee will not let me forget the "Help her fight this thing" line in our prayers. If I forget to say those exact words, she promply corrects me. We love you all very much and remember GOD CHANGES THINGS!

Hi Dixons, I came upon a scripture today that I thought would be most meaningful to you guys. It is 2 Cor 4: 8-9, "We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.” Keep this close to your heart and lean on it when you feel overwhelmed. We are so thankful to God that Gracie is hanging in there and being a brave little soldier. Give her a big hug for us and one for each of you. We love you guys. You are an inspiration to us for your unconditional trust and faithfulness!! Love, Ron and Betty Wootton, Woodstock, GA

My family just lost a child to a different kind of cancer, which was untreatable. Thank God your baby has treatment available. I will pray and continue praying for complete recovery. May God bless you.

Todd, D.D., Grant and Mary Grace,
Just wanted you to know that we are praying for Mary Grace! When we shared with our children what had happened, our oldest son, Christian said that he wanted to share with you James 1:1-2, "count it all joy...", I know he doesn't quite understand the pain that parents bare at times like this; but, it is interesting to see life through the eyes of a child and that he realizes that God has a purpose in all that you are walking through. Todd and D.D., you are an awesome example of Christ living through your lives. You have touched our life greatly. Words cannot express how deeply we feel for you and how sorry we are that Mary Grace and your family is having to walk through this time. We just cling to the fact that our God is faithful, He knows what she is going through, this will only work for good and that Mary Grace is ultimately His child! Please let us know if there is anything we can do. We love you guys!

I am a friend of Taylor Hills. I have a 5 month old and I can't imagine what you all are going through. God can and will conquer all things! The many blessings that he brings makes us strong! This is a great testament to all who are around you. I pray that God receive the glory for the miracle working in your lives. Through your trials, God will be revealed and lives will be changed. It is great to see such a God loving family to stand strong and to believe in the healing power of God. God bless you and may God continue to give you the strength to endure all things.

El Reno, OK - Tuesday, August 31, 2004 4:18 PM CDT
I work with Sherri and she has shared this with me. I have been and will continue to pray for Mary Grace. No one understands Gods purpose in times like these with little ones whos lifes have just begun. But all is in His time and understanding for us to continue to love and cherish each moment. Isaiah 41:10, 13 "Don't worry, because I am with you. Don't be afraid, because I am your God. I will make you strong and will help you; I will support you with my right hand that saves you...I am the Lord your God, who holds your right hand, and I tell you, "don't be afraid, I will help you." May you find comfort that God is with you and Mary Grace each step of the way and that he loves you more than anyone could ever understand.

I was informed of your situation through my paternal aunt, Marilyn Sustrich, I am also the parent of a special needs child. Although, my daughter's condition is not cancer, I know how overwhelmed and helpless you sometimes feel. Trust yourselves and trust in God, He does all things for a reason. I am hoping and praying for a speedy recovery for your daughter and your entire family. Take care of yourselves. Good luck and God Bless You All.

Poppie had hospital duty yesterday...Our little Grace is truly Amazing! She entertained the staff, nurses, doctors, and all the other little folks without hair in her hospital wing. I expected her to start singing "The sun will come out tomorrow." We are humbled by the wonder of God's Grace and the positive power of prayer. Prayer Changes Things!

This website is great!! So much info and I love to see pictures of Mary Grace and Grant. Had this thought yesterday -
Remember the movie It's a Wonderful Life?
The one they show every Christmas about a hundred times?? In the beginning everyone is praying for George Bailey and there's all these little flickers of light going up to Heaven. When I read the e-mail that Mary Grace's tumor has already shrunk and is not as visible externally, I thought with all the people praying for her there must be an enormous beam of light going up to Heaven which could not be ignored.
There certainly is an incredible energy with the power of prayer. Stay strong

8-30-04:Todd dropped D.D. and Mary Grace at our house this morning as Jim was taking them to the hospital about 10am. When Mary Grace came in the house she said"Mamaw lets play Barney on Puter". So we played Barney Puzzles on the Computer for about fifteen minutes while Jim and DD packed the car. I talked to DD about 3pm and she said Mary Grace didn't seem to be so afraid of everything today, In fact she helped the nurse flush her Central Lines. Now when she sees the nurse coming with the temp.probe she just raises up her little arm and lets them take her temp. She is being such a Brave litte girl. We just pray that her little body can hold up to all this STUFF. She is walking and getting around much better this week than she was last week, and we are Thankful for that. Sue will go to the hospital for duty tomorrow and I have Grant duty after I pick him up from school. I have hospital duty on Wed. and Thurs. Hopefully they will come home on Friday. Todd's office isn't very far from the hospital so he comes over at lunch time and spends a couple of hours each day. He is usually home to get Grant by 5pm. So far so Good! Mamaw Judye

Mary Grace and family,
You all do not know me but our Sunday School class at Parkway Place Baptist Church in Little Rock, AR has been praying for you. We learned of your situation through Dottie and Gray Townsend. I work as a Nurse in the Hem/Onc Dept. at Arkansas Children's Hospital and have been in the dept for about 6 years. During this time I have seen many children go through situations similar to yours, although each one is exceptionally unique. Many of these children have come through with flying colors and do very, very well. The children are such troopers and handle things so much better than any adult would. It appears that Mary Grace is no exception! It seems to me that the families who have faith in God and really use prayer to get them through are the ones who come out stronger in the end. You all seem to be very grounded in the Lord and are handling the situation so well thus far. I would encourage you by saying there are lots of us in Little Rock praying for your little one and your family. God will bring you through this.
Your website is great!

Dear DD & Todd,
We've never met, but I'm remotely related to you. Louise McCormick is my wife's (Amy) grandmother. From the first day we were told about Mary Grace we have been uplifting her and you in our fervent prayers. We live in Germany and I’m sure you will be encouraged to know that many folks are praying for her from way over in this part of the world. We rejoice greatly with you in the miracle that God has already worked. I'm encouraged in my walk with Christ to hear such faith from you in your emails. We look forward to continued praise reports as we watch God at work. Tell Mary Grace "Gott Liebt Sie" .... which means “God Loves You” in German. Maybe one of these days will meet at a family reunion and our daughter’s can play together and we can see first hand God’s answers to prayers.
God Bless,
David, Amy, Abigail & Caleb Vanderburg

Dear DD, Grace and family -- I am happy to have heard from you and to find Grace's website. This way I can check in more often ... but I'd love to meet you sometime when we are in Atlanta for treatment, too. We are planning on having lunch with Jenny and Catie on the 9th of September, although Catie will be in-patient at that time so it might be a fancy dining experience in the hospital cafeteria, or a pb&j at the koi pond! :)
I hope Grace (that was my Grandmother's name, and is my older daughter's midle name ... I love it!) continues to do well. We will be checking back!
ps. I am amazed at how good you look in the photo with your son on his first day of school, knowing it was also Grace's first day of chemo. I walked around after diagnosis with a "deer in the headlights" look on my face for at least two months!

For DD and Gracie from Poppie...
God made the world with its towering trees,
majestic mountains and restless seas,
then paused and said, "It needs one more thing."
Someone to laugh and dance and sing,
to walk in the woods and gather flowers,
to commune with nature in quiet hours.
So God made little girls
with laughing eyes and bouncing curls,
with joyful hearts, and beautiful smiles,
enchanting ways and feminine wiles.
And when He'd completed the task He'd begun,
he was pleased and proud of the job He'd done.
For the world when seen through a little girl's eyes
greatly resembles paradise.

It is so encouraging to read about all the prayers being offered up on behalf of little Mary Grace from around the world. Our God is so mighty! I know He is going to do a mighty work in Grace's little body. DD, I hope your mom has passed on the word about all the people in Oklahoma that have been praying from the time we first heard. My class of 4th graders at school see Mary Grace's picture on the board every day and it reminds us to pray for her daily. Thank you so much for the updates on this wonderful site.

Of all the prayers being lifted to heaven for Mary Grace, surely God hears this little voice! Your cousins in Montana are thinking of all of you constantly and praying constantly.

Hi, my name is Ashley Bryant. I was told about Mary Grace by my mother in law, Judy Bryant. I am not sure the connection, but I do want to tell you that my daughter Paxton was diagnosed with cancer in June of 2002 at 15 months old and has now been off treatment for 14 months and she is doing wonderfully. I would love to offer any comfort, answer any questions or just talk with ya'll if you would like. We will keep your precious family in our prayers during this time. I know how overwhelming all of this is at times, but I can see by your website that you are firmly planted in God and that you know the peace only He can give. Please feel free to email me if you would like. Maybe at some point Paxton and Mary Grace could meet and share "hairless" pics (don't worry it does grow back). My email address is ashleykbryant@hotmail.com. Take care and I hope to hear from you soon.

When they get home from school today we will have to have some computer time and let them see your web site, I know they will love it, especially your beautiful, smiling picture!

I'm glad to see the Princess has a web page so we can keep up with her progress! Mitchell will be in-patient next Thursday 9/2 depending on his counts! Hope things continue to go well.

Dear Todd, DD, Grant, and Miss Grace,
Kenneth sent this website to me. I was really heartbroken when I first read about Grace's situation, but you are handling this tragedy in the only way possible...through Christ. Your prays will be answered. The Lord holds a special place in his heart for children. He will be at Grace's side throughout this entire ordeal.
I attend a bible study on Tuesday nights. We end each session with a prayer request. I explained your situation and asked each member to say a special prayer. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
If you need anything from me, please don't hesitate to contact me. God bless you.
I love you guys, Lamar

You are on the ball with this website!!! It looks great! I'm going to add a link to Catie's page (if that's ok w/ you). You found the Zeocast slideshow way before I did (took me 9 months to come across it!) I love the pictures of both of the kids holding on to Dad looking out at the ocean! We'll be closely following Mary Grace's progress and praying for all 4 of you. Hoping we get to see you on one of our next visits to Atlanta (but not b/c your inpatient-- we want you to be home a WHOLE lot!!!!)
Take care,
Tre', Jenny, and Catie Wilkins

Grace,
Just your name alone speaks volumes of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because it is through Grace from our heavenly Father that we are here and saved through His Son, Jesus. I pray that where ever two or more are in agreement, so shall a fact be established, and I am in agreement with all the other saints praying for you for your healing. God tells us to put Him in remembrance of His promises. It says we are healed by His stripes. Father God, we come before the thrown of Grace right now humbly but boldly and thank you for the Truth of the Holy Spirit. We wear the Helmet of Salvation, the Breastplate of Rightousness and our loins are girded with the Truth and our feet are covered in the Gospel of Peace and we take up the Shield of Faith, and carry the Sword, the Word of God. Cover precious little Gracie with the blood of the Lamb and put your loving arms around her and her family and protect them and give them peace. May the Lord lift you up, make His face shine upon you and give you peace. It's with praise and thanksgiving that I pray this for you, In Jesus' Holy name, Amen!
