Hi Everyone-
You have all been on my mind lately and I wanted to say a quick hello! I hope things are going well and I can't wait to meet the new addition to the family. Max- it doesn't seem possible that you are nearly 9 years old! You will be a great big brother(again). I hope to see all of you soon.
Love,

Hi All Elliotts!
I'm glad to be back in the sunshine...don't miss the shoveling and the cold, but do miss the beauty of the snow and my favorite snow bunnies and sleeping partners, Max and Abbie. As usual, our time together went by too quickly but I'll see you in a month. Love and hug each other daily for me and remember what it might feel like to carry a heavy backpack out in front of you all the time and be "legs" for mommy.

Love, Ga-Ga
P.S. I'm still voting for Henry but I'll love Teddy, too!

I (we) look forward to many more days spending time with you and are thrilled with your news. Max & Abbie will be fabulous siblings! You are such warm and "real" people!
All our very best to all of you and a special hug to Max!

Hi Maxie

Poppy and I have been watching the calendar and counting the days until the last chemo treatment! What a big, big day that was for everyone who loves you. And just four more days until the next big, big day when your port comes out! I think God was celebrating as well when he sent you all that snow to play in as a present!!!!
You have been the best and bravest soldier that we have ever known. Poppy and I are so proud of you!
You know, sweet Maxie, God is truth, God is love, God is pure and you are God's perfect child. Therefore nothing negative can be in God's perfect child.
We can hardly wait for the big celebration in May!
Many, many hugs and kisses for you,

Sounds like you are making memories in your apartment :). I am so exciting for you that your chemo days are coming to an end. That is my daughter's birthday, so that will be easy for me to remember.

What an amazing web page! Well done to the Elliott's. More importantly, well done Max. The Milard family has known you for such a short time, but what an amazing boy you are. We are just thrilled for you and your recovery. It has been an honor getting to know ALL of you. We are the ones blessed to have you here in Dublin.

Hi to Max, Abbie and Mom&Dad,
We are so excited to know that there are only 66 days left before the BIG last day of chemo. What a celebration we'll have in May! You can count on Aunt Susan and Uncle Dean being there. We love the Christmas picture, the first snow picture and especially looking at the handsome guy on this most recent update.
We love you all and know that 2008 will be a very happy and special year for all of the Elliots and their family.

Max, we are so proud of you!! You are such a good example to all of us, but mostly to Jillian for how brave you are and have been throughout the last 3 years of chemo. We are glad you are enjoying Ohio and playing football there. We will continue to pray for you and look forward to your big PARTY!@#!

Hello Elliot clan. So glad to hear Max is in the home stretch! That's awesome. Also, glad to hear you are liking Columbus. However, if you ditch the Go Blue gear for Buckeye gear, we have a problem.:) Whitney already, at times, dons the Badger red, which is plain wrong. Anyhow, we hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year!

Hi Max, Abbie and Mom & Dad,
By now you are in Columbus and enjoying the adventures of getting to know a new place, meeting new friends, going to a new school and enjoying being together as a family.
Max,we'll be excited to hear about your school and teacher, and also about Abbie's "school". Your teacher will be so lucky to have a student like you that loves to read as well as good in math. Also, I think the girls are going to be whispering about such a good-looking new boy in their class!!
Are you ready for some football?? It is always fun to welcome fall with watching football and seeing the leaves change. I bet Columbus will be beautiful.
We are going to Ireland and Scotland for the first 2 weeks
of September so a card should be coming your way.
We'll be counting the days until March 13th,2008.
Sending thoughts, prayers and lots of love your way.

Seems like you all just thrive on excitment, and maybe a little bit of chaos too! Glad things worked out for Matt with a new job, and hope that all goes well with the upcoming move. We are counting the days until school starts here in Marietta on the 13th. It is always good to hear good news about Max, and know that having a huge light at the end of the tunnel is a relief for you all. When there is an end in sight, you know you can hang in there. Glad the immune boosters are doing their job as well and hopefully you will get back up to 100% chemo to finish off those bad guys and keep them from coming back! Abbie sounds like a lot of fun and very much like my Katherine--has it all figured out, if only everyone could see things their way! Take care and keep the updates coming!

Hi Max, Boy do I miss you and Abbie! I got so used to sleeping with a terrific kid that I captured Emmie and had her spend the night with me last night! The weather is great here in Arizona and I went for a 7-mile walk on Sunday. Do you think Bucky would have lasted on that walk? He probably would have pulled my arm off before I got back...so a better question is do you think Ga-Ga could have made 7 miles with Bucky?

How was chess club on Monday. With all the practice you got over Christmas, I'll bet you won some matches.

Lots of Ga-Ga sugar to you and Abbie...you can give some to Mom and Dad, too

I love & miss you, Ga-Ga

I was so excited to see the new pictures. I think you get more handsome every day! We hope you had a good Christmas and are looking forward to visiting you in the new year! Give us a call and tell us all about your holidays. It sounds fun having all the family in one place for Christmas. Tommy and Grace started back to school today. Tommy is taking golf at Poppy's country club and Grace is taking tennis. She also does gymnastics and is in Brownies. We will send you some of those yummy cookies when she starts selling them. Tommy is very into climbing the trees in our yard and our neighbors' yards. He got a rope ladder for Christmas but likes to just climb up the hard way anyway. I hear you are in a chess club. That is fun. We like to play at our library where they have a REALLY BIG chess set. We can take you next time you are in AZ. Give you family our love. How is that new doggie? We miss you!

Max -

Merry Christmas!

I am a high school friend of your dad. My wife, Molly (or you can call her Mrs. Griff), is a former coworker with your Mom. What a small world, huh?

I hope you and your folks & sister had a great holiday. What did Santa bring you? I loved your family Christmas card! I can't decide if you look cooler with curly hair, like in the family Christmas card, or bald... you look much cooler than your dad in those newspaper photos that showed both of you earlier this year. :)

Max, this is the first time I've written you... and I haven't been in contact with your Mom & Dad much in last couple years as they've been busy and so have Mrs. Griff & I (we have 2 kids, Jack 10 & Mary 5, who keep us busy but that is not the best excuse as everyone is busy). I want you to know that you, and your folks, have been on my mind and in my prayers often. I am sure you must be one of the strongest young men I know. When I was middle school age, I had a cousin (Meg Clemens from Ft Wayne, from a long line of Purdue alums) who had leukemia like you and she traveled to Riley hospital every month for treatments and her mom & dad stayed at my house when I was little.

I think about you and your mom & dad often... and I'm sorry we haven't connected sooner. If you or your folks would like to get together next time you're in Indy, please do not hesitate to call Mrs. Griff or I.

Have a great 2007! Speaking of New Years, on Jan. 1 be sure and ask your dad about the Rose Bowl when it or the parade are on TV; your mom might be tired of hearing about it but I'm sure it still gets your dad excited (and he should be proud of it).

Take care, Max!
John Griffin
p.s. For some crazy reason, your dad calls me The Professor.

Hi Max and family.
So very glad to hear things are on an upbeat right now. Like you, we've had a full house this holy season and will continue to have through the new year. Sorry to hear about Abbie's problems on top of everything else but relieved (as I know you all are) that all is better now. We think of you so often and I'm sorry we aren't closer as I know Justin and Max would have a blast together. Stay strong and know that miles don't stop the love or caring.
Much love,

Dear Max, I was so glad to get your Christmas card and that your told your mom to put the web address of your site in there.. a few months before Christmas my computer got fried and I lost all my history and my favorite websites (you were one of them) and I couldn't find you, I am glad to have it back and keep up to date. I am a friend of your mom's from the very first day of college and you met us way back when you were just a little guy and the Wiggles were the center of your world. You are such and awesome kid...so smart, and such a great big brother - keep up the good work! Hugs from Greenville, SC.

Max,
You wouldn't remember me since you were a tiny baby when I last saw you, but I've been praying for you since the start. Your Dad keeps me up to date on your progress, and I'm very proud of you and the example of strength that you set for all who know you. I wish you the quickest year and a half possible and look forward to the day you get your clean bill of health from the doctors.
Happy New Year and I hope to see you again some day soon.

Max,

I hope this message finds you feeling well -- and getting stronger every day. You are one brave kid, some of us adults have a thing or two to learn from kids like you.

Your mom shared your story with me last week on an airplane from Phoenix to Detroit (with periodic interruptions by your sister, but I'll let your mom share that part of the story with you.)

best wishes for T-giving -- if the weather is OK, maybe you'll be able to throw the football around with your father.

Last year your Ga-Ga was at our house for Halloween and we had fun treating the "trick or treaters". I'll miss her this year.
Uncle Dean and I are going to Virginia Tech tomorrow for the Clemson/VA Tech game. It is suppose to be very cold for the game. We can't wait to see our grandchildren (Meigs and Walker) and visit their school on Friday.
I missed seeing you and Abbie when I met your Mom for lunch last month but I was very happy you were in school that day.
Tell everyone at your house hello for us and remember we think of you every day.

Max! I haven't written you a postcard in a bit but a) I'm still in Poland and b) I'm still thinking of you!

Lately in Poland it's as hot as it is in the United States -- 95 degrees or so -- but it's worse, because most places don't have air conditioning! (It's not usually this hot here, so people don't usually need air conditioners...)

I hope you're doing well and hope you're loving reading camp!

I'll send you a postcard soon!

All my best,

Hi Max, Tommy and I flew back to Arizona yesterday. Tommy was sad to leave Lopez but glad to see his family. It was a very long day. We had to get on the ferry at 6:40 a.m. and Poppy drove us to Seattle. Then we had to fly to San Jose, CA, change planes and got to Phoenix at 6 p.m. When we arrived it was 105 degrees. Ga-Ga isn't sure she won't melt tomorrow working in the prison. Do you suppose I might melt because I'm so full of Ga-Ga sugar? Maybe, huh? Guess what I can do....send you all my Ga-Ga sugar!!!!Be sure to share with Abbie.

Poppy and I want to hear about reading camp. Do you read to Abbie? That's neat to have a big brother that can read stories. Uncle Marc used to read to Aunt Megan. Maybe you can read a story to Poppy and me.

Hi Max! Only seven more days of Kindergarten! Are you excited or what. You will love first grade. That is my favorite grade to teach. You will love all the reading and learning you will do next year. My kindergarteners went to first grade for the day last Friday. We call it "The Big Day". They ate lunch and went to recess with their first grade buddy and spent the afternoon with a first grade teacher and I took all the first graders back to my room with me. We had a great day! We'll have to plan a day for the library and kelaineys this summer! Tomorrow we are going on a pretend airplane ride to a tropical island to spend the day of fun at the ocean! We have been studying ocean animals. What is your favorite ocean animal? Well enjoy your last few days of Kindergarten. Talk to you and mom soon. Tell everyone HI! Take care, think of you often, and you are always in my prayers!!!!

Max after reading your most recent entries I recognize not only how smart you are but how truly determined you are to succeed and rise above all of your challenges. I hope you and the "fam." have a great time in Arizona. Don't forget to see us when you get back and tell me all about it. You have become my "encyclopedia" of the neighborhood and I love how you give me fun facts to think about.

We will play with Winnie for you while you are gone.

See you Soon!

Max, Cole wanted to say HI! We are all so excited to be coming up to visit in a month. Cole is rolling all over the place and will be much more fun for you to play with on this visit! We saw your article about you and your family and thought it was wonderful that you are sharing your story with people so they understand better what you and lots of other kids have to face everyday. You are a very special little guy, MAX! We hope you are enjoying the spring! Hugs to everyone. Love Baby Cole, Aunt Lisa and Uncle Bubbles

Hey Max, I read about you in the Santa Fe New Mexican online paper. I'm thrilled to hear that you're such a great warrior against that nasty old cancer; it takes a great deal of effort and a heart of gold to keep smiling while you're doing that important work. Way to go!!

MAX-- I read the recent article about you and your Dad and it was wonderful!! I work at the Red Cross and one of the things we do is have blood drives so that people can donate blood which is used for other people who need blood to get well or recover from surgery or an accident. I just wanted you to know that we are working real hard to make certain that there is enough blood to help everybody who might need it!! You are a super little guy and I know that your Mom and Dad are so very proud of you!! Keep up the good work and we will do the same at the Red Cross !! My best wishes to you and your family, and you are in our thoughts and prayers!! Your friend, Larry, at the Red Cross.

Max: I was lucky enough to know your dad when he played at Michigan, and he was one of the toughest and gutsiest players I ever met. I am certain you inherited those traits (and probably a whole lot more) from him, and I know it is helping you now. Keep up the good fight. I'm praying for you. Say hi to your dad for me.

Max,
We saw your picture in the Star yesterday. You sure are a special, special boy. You keep fighting everyday and everyday we are with you in spirit. I hope you know how much your family means to us. If you ever need help, like when you go to Riley and you forgot gameboy or Magic School Bus video, Derek would be happy to bring something over to you or bring your family some lunch. Your parents where there so much for us when we had some hard times and we understand you can't just plan a get together, sometimes they just have to happen. We will be waiting for the opportunity to present itself. Meantime, are you excited about the NFL draft this weekend? How about that old dad of yours being an NFL standout for 7 seasons. He and Derek's Dad , Mark, were buddies all through middle school, highschool, college and Mark was an usher at your parent's wedding. If you want to hear some funny stories about your dad, you know where to go now.
Much love,
Fronek's

Hi Max! You are famous! Friends at my school saw your picture and story in the paper today and they want me to tell you they think you are REALLY CUTE and TOUGH! I told them you are nice and sweet and snuggly too. Thanks for calling me last weekend. It was good to talk to you. Hope you're having a great week. It's nice to have warm weather back again, isn't it?

Hi Max (and Matt and Kristen and Abbie, too),
You don't know me, but I read about you today in the Detroit Freepress! I used to know your dad at UM and just wanted to send you the best thoughts in the whole wide world. You're a trooper and you keep fighting. I work with people who have cancer in their brains, and I know from them, if you keep fighting - you'll win!

Max and Kristen, you do not know me but I went to school with Matt at Michigan. I was just informed about Max's illness throught another friend near Ann Arbor who read about it in the Wolverine. We pray for your incredably strong family and for Max's continued strength as me husband Brian and I also have a 6 year old son and cannot inagine what you are going through. Brian also has a fraternity brother from U of Delaware whose son was diagnosed at about the same age and is almost 7 now and doing well being treated here near Philly. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Hello Max! I read about you in the newspaper today. I am an old friend of your dad's from high school. You were about 2 years old the last time I saw you...what a brave and smart little man you are! I am so impressed with how strong your heart is...you just keep fighting! And give your mom and dad and Abbie a big hug! -- Julie (Red)

Carmel, IN - Monday, April 24, 2006 9:07 PM CDT

Hi Maxie!

Wow, you are really famous! Lots and lots of people have called me today to tell me what a great picture of you was in the newspapers ALL over the United States! Look on your big map and find Florida, Colorado, North Carolina, Texas, Michigan, Arizona, South Carolina, California, Illinois and even Washington. Did you even know you would be so famous? One of the people that called today was an NFL referee that used to call Daddy's games. He said when he threw a flag for holding on Dad that your Daddy would growl at him! I thought that was funny! Do you growl when you play soccer?
They all tell me how proud they are to know you and send lots of love. Itold them what a great "hugger" you are, but you're not so sure about all this "girl kissing" stuff anymore.
Have fun playing outside today!

Love Moppy

Tell Uncle Dave I bet you will have more homeruns tomorrow than he does!

Max,

My name is Andy Goldman and I work with your crazy uncle Mike at Angie's List. Although he is a little "off his rocker", he is so proud of you and he told me about your illness. I was so sad to hear this. But then I read the article about you in the paper today (Indianapolis Star)and it made me very happy. I am happy you are fighting so courageously to overcome something you shouldn't have to deal with. You are a special, strong little boy and you have inspired me and many,many other people. Keep fighting and keep smiling! God bless you and your family

I owe you a Kelainey's! I love the pictures of your trip. I am so glad you had a good time. WOW! You fed a beluga? You are so brave. Did you get to pet it too? How did that lion swallow you and not chew you up :)? Hope this finds you well and going strong as ever. Tell everyone HI! Talk to you soon.

Max, you are a very strong little guy. Keep fighting hard. Sometimes God challenges the best people to make them better people overall. You sound like one of those people. Our families prayers are with you and your family in this struggle. Keep your chin up and remember, there are a lot of people supporting you. And I heard that Lego Land was awesome.There are not many adults with your strength, and maybe a few people will realize that there problems are not so bad. Keep on, with your drive, there is nothing you cannot accomplish.

Dear Max,
I am one of your mom's friends from UNC and I just read all your updates and I am really jealous about your trip to Lego Land and the Zoo and Sea World...those are on my top places to see next. I am so proud of you for being so brave and strong...if you really listen to adults they complain alot about really small things like the line at the grocery store or the price of gas or a stain on their shirt...you help us grown ups be better people with your great attitude about everthing. Your mom said you might make a trip this way. I sure hope you do. We live in Greenville South Carolina (its not too far from Charolotte) My kids would love it! I have a son Graham who is 7 and a daughter Emmy who is 5 and a little boy named Davis who is 1 and a new baby on the way in May. I dont think you remember visiting us before. You were on your way to see the Wiggles ( I think you were only 2 1/2 maybe 3) in Charlotte and you came for a visit. You even once stayed at our house when you were only a few months old. We miss seeing you and your mom and dad and we'd love to meet Abbie. We just wanted to send you a note to tell you how great we think you are. Really I could have just said a few words for that...You Rock Max!!! Keep up the good work in school too!

Hey Buddy! So sorry I couldn't pick you up yesterday. It sure makes me realize how tough you really are since Big Dave, Blake and Carley can't get out of bed with just a lousy cold. I sure miss you and Punky. Today I plan to visit, but if I can't it's because everyone is still sick here and you don't need our bad germs.
Hey, David's baseball team won their first game last night. Do you want to come to a game with me? Ask Mom if you do and we can make a date. He has a double header Saturday at home so maybe that would work, that is of course, if you don't have soccer.
I'll see you soon smarty-pants. (I just know you read this note by yourself!) Love Aunt Cher

Thanks for all the special "snuggle time". I can't believe I only have "two more sleeps" until I go back to Arizona. The time sure flies when I'm in Warsaw having fun with you and Abbie.

Don't forget how much I love you and give each other Ga-Ga sugar....a little for your mom, too!

We have a couple of friends who have caringbridge sites and they are a wonderful thing, even if most are created for not so good reasons! You are a brave boy, and a very smart boy too! I have a son who is close to your age(Luke will be 6 in August) and a daughter who turned 4 in January. You are lucky to have such a good mommy who keeps everyone updated on your progress, and sounds like you have a pretty cool little sister who likes to make sure that you are taken well care of. There is something special about little sisters. Anyway, we will continue to check in on you and we will add you to our prayer list. We wear bracelets for our friend Kylie who lives here in GA (/ga/kyliescorner). Please give your mom a big hug for me. I have not seen her since right before she and your Dad moved away from Atlanta...years ago! Hang in there and keep doing your special job of fighting that nasty old cancer!

Max! Dan Polsby here, the one who wrote you before from the "other" Warsaw (in Poland), wishing you all the best! In Polish that would be "Wszystkiego najlepszego," but that's pretty hard to say without it sounding like you have peanut butter in your mouth. So I'll keep it at "All my best." ;) Your mom says you're getting really into reading! That was my favorite thing to do when I was your age. Have you read any Shel Silverstein? He was one of my favorites. I also love "In the Night Kitchen" by Maurice Sendak. Ask your mom to find it at the library if you haven't read it already! Take care, buddy, and say hi to your mom for me. (If you want to tell her in Polish, you can say "Czesc, mama!" (You say the first part "Chesh" and the second part just like "mama.")) Much love, Dan Polsby

Hi Max,
Are you really six years old?? We can't believe it and remember so well the day you were born. GaGa and Poppy were sooo excited. How is school going? Are you into March Madness? Bet you are. Too bad that UNC and Duke lost so early but the Lady Tarheels and Lady Blue Devils are super hot. Wouldn't that be something if they played each other!
Are the spring flowers in bloom at your house? It won't be long until the Easter Bunny comes to see you and Abbie.
Hope you are feeling pretty good and enjoying springtime. We think of you everyday and send our love to you, Abbie and Mom and Dad.

Hi Max!
Guess what? We have raised almost half of our goal for the Walk for Wishes. We still have 3 weeks and we are hoping to get enough to pay for one wish - your wish. Tommy had such a great time and was so happy you could share that with him. You guys sure are special to each other. Anyway the Halter Wildcats for Max are on the way to our goal. Thought you'd be proud to be part of our team.

Hi Max Elliott's mom. I'm Elliot Maust's mom. We met at Lutheran 2 weeks ago. Elliot is doing great now. I understand from the nurses in Outpatient that Max is doing better too and was released soon after Elliot. I'm so glad to hear that. It was great to meet you. I hope our paths will cross again. Elliot's treatments are on Fridays. After we got back home and I told him about Max he got all excited and wants to meet him sometime.

You've all been in my prayers.

WOW Max. Another incredible accounting of your unbelievable spirit and determination. Thanks to your mom & dad for keeping us updated with your progress. There are so many of us who are very very interested in your progress and fight. You are truly a special gift to this world.
You and our little boy, Justin, need to get together and talk football. Justin goes to bed with the football in his hand and it's the first thing he goes for when he gets up. He's constantly tossing the football to himself in the house and then crashing into the floor as though he is being tackled. I'm counting the days before something major breaks.. UGH! He loves to watch the games on TV with his dad and went to all but 1 of our high schools football games. And to everyone's shock at the games, stays very awake and alert throughout the game. He's like you, a die-hard. The two of you would be quite a pair. And like you, it doesn't end with football. If it's a sport, he's there.
We hope this is a particularly wonderful Christmas for you and your family and that Santa is extra nice to you and Abbie. You have our love, our thoughts and our prayers and give a really big bear hug to your mother and dad for us. Squeeze them really tight and make them grunt.

I can tell Abbie thinks you are the best big brother in the world. I will keep your picture on my desk so I can remember to pray for you. I still have your picture from last Christmas too. You have really gotten big! I am so glad to hear how strong and brave you are. Tell your mom and dad thanks, too for stopping by. We will see you soon. Your neighbors, the Reinholts.

I hope you gave Moppy and Poppy big hugs (and some for me, too)

Hi Max,

Happy Thanksgiving! Aunt Susan and I are headed to Charlotte today to spend the holiday with Mimi and Bunny Ray. Did you ever hear the story about how Bunny Ray got his nickname? One time many years ago he went to a costume party with Kathy when she was in college and he dressed up like a rabbit. A picture was taken of him in his costume and when Walker (age two at the time) saw it he started calling him Bunny Ray and it stuck. Is that a hoot? Anyway, hope you and your family have a great Thanksgiving.

We had a great time with your Ga-Ga recently when she came to see us in Smithfield. We shared lots of stories and many laughs.

We love you!!

Hi Max! Thought I would stop in to see how you are. I am sending you an email of a church made out of legos. Very cool. Have you ever made anything really big from Legos? How's school? We are studying the letter Gg this week and the numbers 10 to 20! Last week we went to a farm to celebrate the harvest season! We had a blast. All kinds of games, horse rides, made squash people, and much more. The kids were really tired by the end of the day. Hey, I wanted to tell you how much the kindergarteners love playing ZINGO! We have had a lot of fun with it. Well I'll talk to you soon. Take care!

We hear you are doing so well and look foward to geting an update about your week. Enjoy Ga-Ga and all the love she gives to you and the girls. We are all so lucky to have Ga-Ga visit!
Happy Halloween.

Hi Max. How's it going today. I heard that you went to school yesterday. That's great. I hope your Mommy is feeling better. I'll bet you are taking good care of her just like she takes good care of you when you don't feel so great. It's only 11 days until I get to come see you again. I can't wait! I love you and miss you lots.

Sorry it has taken me so long to thank you again for the GREAT shirt you gave me when you came up to Chicago. I hope you had fun with the fishes. It was nice to finally meet you and Abby since it feels like I already know you from talking to your dad.

Stay strong little man. You are always in my prayers.

Hi Maxie! I don't know where my message went that I sent you yesterday. Do you suppose it's flying around cyberspace like a Halloween ghost? I'm so glad you felt like going to school today and to the dentist as well. How great to get a good report about those beautiful white teeth! Tommy called me today and he is surely excited about coming to see you tomorrow. I know you will all have a wonderful visit. Have a lot of fun and give everyone hugs and Ga-Ga sugar from me.

Hello Max,
I'm an old friend of your dad's from high school. Your Uncle Michael gave me your site address to get the latest on you and your family. In true Elliott tradition you seem to have inherited a great fighting spirit [along with the good looks of your dad :) ]. Your much tougher than most of us. I was in the Army with 82nd Airborne Division and I wish i had your toughness back then.
My wife and my prayers are with you and your family.
Tell Mom and Dad and Grandma and Grandpa that Pat Myers says hello.
Take care,

Hi Max
I loved seeing the picture of you and your Dad with the big trout and the one going to school. It looks like you might have on a Panthers backpack? Uncle Jim and I went to see them play Green Bay this week and it made me think about when your Dad was a great Panther player. I also liked seeing you and Abbie for it's been a long time and you both are getting so tall! The Hynes family thinks of you a whole lot and we all send our love.

Hi Max,
What an incredible inspiration you are for so many of us old folks yet while you are so young! Thank you. It sounds like you are really playing hard and proving to everyone that you are indeed your father's son (though your mom has her competitive edge too). You keep working on your soccer and I'm sure you will exceed your dad's professional standing. Give your mom and dad a big hug and kiss from all of us and you keep fighting just the way you are.

Hi Max, I had forgotten how big your fish was! Wow! It is probably as big as some you saw in the aquarium. Did you have fun in Chicago celebrating Daddy's birthday? I hope you have a good week. I'll be thinking about you. I am going back to Lopez this week. I'll be glad to get where it's cooler. It's still very hot in Arizona but the mornings and evenings are nice. I miss you but will see you again on November 1st. Put that date on your calendar and then you will be able to tell how many days that will be. Lots of Ga-Ga sugar for you and Abbie.

Hey soccer man! How did your game go today? Sure wish I could have made it but our yard needed some real trimming before any big snakes made it their home. Yuck! I can't wait to hear about your trip to the Aquarium. It's one of my favorite places to visit. Did Dad have a good birthday? I bet it was a great one with you and Mom and Abbie there to celebrate. Carley and I had a great time at your house last night. Did you take "Robots" with you for your drive to Chicago? Be sure to call me Monday to tell me all about your great weekend.

We met at Lutheran last Friday when you were with your Ga-Ga and your mom. I hope your counts are up by now and that you are feeling well. I was so impressed by how brave you were.
BreAnne, my daughter who also has leukemia, was not able to do her treatment this week because her counts were down also. She says that's ok, she can just have a little "chemo vacation".
I will be praying for you and hope to meet up with you again sometime soon! :)

We see that you have been a busy boy lately. We saw the picture of the fish you caught. Way to go! What a whopper! Did your dad ever catch one that big? We also heard that you scored a goal in you soccer game. How cool. CJ is looking forward to when you can show him how to kick the soccer ball and catch fish!

PS - Your cousin CJ has been watching lots of local college football games. While he prefers to watch in his maize and blue outfit, you can tell your friend KP that the Blue Devils uniforms did catch his eye, too. And tell your mommy that he is headed up to see UNC play in just a couple weeks!

Hi Max, I sure did love spending time with you last week. Thanks for all your help with all my "chores". You were great with reading the labels on all the clothes we sorted. Working in the yard was fun, too, and I know you and Abbie were excited to see how happy your Mom was with all the newly planted shrubs. How are the worms? Did you remember to show them to Mom. They are in the black container full of dirt back by the fence. It is hot in Phoenix but it is fun to see Emmie, Grace and Tommy. Tommy and Grace are enjoying their new house. I have lots of work to do this week and then I will go back to Lopez for a couple of weeks. After that, I will come back to Phoenix and get the things moved into the house on Kackery's street that will soon be Poppy's. Hope you are continuing to feel well and have a good clinic visit on Thursday. I love you lots, Mr. Brave-pants. Ga-Ga

Austin and I have been trying to enjoy our last days of summer vacation. I go back to school one week from today. :( I'll still be thinking of you. We'll have to exchange Kindergarten stories.

Hey Guys, just a note to let you know that we are praying for you. Havng just been in a similar situation, we can relate. Just to let you know, although ours was not the happiest of endings, in retrospect it is a true blessing that so many hearts were touched. We saw so many people's faith restored (including ours) and so many lives touched. We don't always know the reason, but rest assured there is a plan. Give our best to the kids and God bless.

Hi Maxwell! It's Ga-Ga. Could you be any braver? I don't think so "Mr. Brave-pants"! Mom told we what a trouper you were at treatment this week and about "the plastic bag" on the way home. I don't know any other little boy who would feel sick in his tummy and just ask for a "plastic bag", get sick with no mess and then just go to sleep. Riley is probably going to have you give lessons on bravery to the other kids. I was missing you so much I just couldn't wait until September to see you so, as Abbie says, "I will come on the big airplane" and see you on Saturday morning. I'm really excited that we get to spend Wednesday together, just us! What shall we do?....Uno, Zingo, you ride your bicycle, I walk or all of those things. Shall we go to Steak and Shake for lunch? You know the only time I can go to Steak and Shake is when I come to Indiana. Who would have thought you would finally have one in Warsaw! I think that's great. I can't wait to see you and Abbie and I am bringing lots of "Ga-Ga sugar". I am planning to get some back from you so get ready for me. See you Saturday.

I love you, Ga-Ga

Hi Max,

What a precious boy you are! You don't know us, but we read about you in the Charlotte Observer. My dad George Miller,
used to take care of your dad's yard when he played for the Carolina Panthers. George said to tell your dad hello, and was wondering if your dad still had his dog Nixon? I think Nixon had to go to obedience school back in Charlotte! Our hearts go out to you Max, and to your sweet family. We are trusting in prayer for your complete recovery!

Max, your new nephew finally made his way into this great big world last monday. He is so darn cute and loveable, you will want to snuggle with him next time we get to visit! We named him Cole Jackson, CJ for short. Do you think that will work? We'll get some pictures to you really soon!

Sounds like you have been doing very well with treatments and being super strong and brave. You know this is just preparing you to be a great football player. You make us very proud!

Lots of Love,

Hey Max,
Just wanted to let you know that a package will be coming your way from Walker and Justin. Walker is 7 and our grandson and Justin is, also, 7 and our nephew. They wanted to share some of the things that they found in our backyard. We had such fun with "boys" in the house again (your Mom can explain). They were wonderful young men most of the time but sometimes became rowdy and loud. Are you ever that way? (hope so)!
Love to you, Abbie and Mom and Dad

Hi Max, how are things going? How about those "numbers"! You are a champ, buddy. Today it was really rainy in Lopez. We were going to work on the Labyrinth today. (Get Mom to tell you all about it) but it was too rainy. Tomorrow it is suppose to be nice so maybe I can work on it tomorow. I know you had fun with Poppy T. How was the movie? Boy, am I glad you had a "bucket hat" to put that Game Boy in. I love you and miss you. GaGa
P.S. I am sending "lots of GaGa" sugar as usual. Share some with Abbie.

Hi Maxie
Now that Poppy and I can go upstairs through all the "zippers" at our house I was able to see the new pictures and read mommy's entry on your website. Love, love, love the picture of you and daddy! You know the very first time I met you, you had the exact same haircut! And so did your daddy when I first met him. It was on your birthdays!
Poppy and I went to see Aunt Lisa and Uncle Marc in North Carolina. Do you remember what exciting event is going to happen to their family soon? That's right, they are having a new boy cousin for you! But they can't decide what to name him. Maybe you can think of a good name for him.
I'm so happy that you are having short rest from your treatment. I bet that you and Abbie had fun this week while she was home from school.
Ask mommy and daddy when you can come swim at my house again. The water is warm!
I love you with lots of hugs and kisses, Moppy

would like that? Be sure and use lots of sun screen up
there on your bald dome.
I liked your picture in the swimming pool. I hope you are

It has been warm, then rainy and now cloudy and cool. That's pretty weird weather we are having. Take care of yourself and give Mom, Dad and Abbie a hug for me. While you are doing that, collect some Ga-Ga sugar that I am sending you.

I love you, angel big boy! Ga-Ga

You are so cute and I love that you look like my favorite picture again--- you know, the one in the bathroom near your playroom (when you were 1 1/2 years old and had the same haircut you do now.) Poppy T will be out to see you soon. We both miss you!! Love you lots, Ga-Ga

I wish you could come to our new house in Smithfield, Virginia and fish on the lake. There are lot's of turtles, frogs, fish, beautiful birds and a few creepy, crawly creatures that we see from afar. I do have a black snake friend that I named Noir, black snakes are good guys.
Uncle Dean and I think about you all the time and wonder how your treatments are going. I understand from your GaGa that you are the bravest boy in the whole world. Your family and friends love you sooo much.

It is really hot in Arizona right now. Today it was about 113. Maybe you can come visit when it cools down. You would not want to be here right now as hot as it is.

I'm sending you some new postcards from Vancouver, Canada and a new hat. Vancouver is not very far from here (almost as close as Seattle and I went there for the day).

Hi Max, it's Ga-Ga again. Boy, do I love your new pictures. I can hardly believe your trip to Miami was so many weeks ago. I loved seeing you playing in the pool with your Mom. I especially loved seeing the pictures of you and the ocean since I didn't get to see you playing there. Your graduation picture was great, too. Today I planted lots of flowers in the "bird garden" at Lopez. Next year I bet you'll be able to come see all the birds that like my "bird garden". The other day my friend Jan and I saw a Western Taniger. It is a yellow bird with a red head. I had never seen one before. Neither had my friend Jan and she has lived here for many years. Hope you are having a good week. Remember Ga-Ga loves you and sends you lots and lots of Ga-Ga sugar.

Hi Max, Abbie, Kris and Matt!!
I can't wait to see you all in less than a week - I have missed you all SO much! All of my friends ask about you constantly. It is fair to say that somebody in Texas loves you all. Or rather, lots of somebodies.
Big news - in February, the Ryan Gibson Foundation gave another $50K (that's $100,000 to date!) to the Cell & Gene Therapy Division of the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX. I am so proud to be a part of a cause to find a cure for Luekemia. And I am so proud to know that you are participating in a study that will help, too! So, while you fight hard in Indiana, I will fight hard, too, in Texas.
Love you all, see you soon!

(Hope it works) My own girls ask about you and we looked up the site to see your pictures. Was I ever surprised to see you and Madison together at graduation. I am so proud of you for getting up there and being so good for mom. I do not know if e-mail hugs work, but if they do, catch it quick because here it comes..... there now the last day seems complete! I was excited to see the sunshines by your pictures, since you will always be a sunshine to me. Be sure to tell everyone I said Hi! Remember God loves you and so do I!!!

Hi Max! I just saw your pictures and they look great! You look just like your dad in his Carmel Pups picture!

Your parents have been telling everyone what a brave boy you are, and I'm glad that your dad buys you a Happy Meal after you see the doctor!

Make sure to ask your dad how many Quarter Pounders we used to eat before Carmel football games (I lost count at three)! No wonder we were called the Fat Boys!

Max, keep an eye on the mailbox next week...I'll have Kyle draw a special picture for you (probably of SpongeBob)!

Matt - thanks for pointing me to your website today...I am inspired not only by Max's toughness and sense of humor, but also by the way that Kris and you are handling this TEMPORARY detour on the road of life.

You might remember me best as "Miss Amy" at Parents' Morning Out at the Methodist Church. I get called Mrs. Carlson now at Presby Preschool, but you can still call me Miss Amy if you want to.

I am so proud of you for being a trooper and even swallowing pills! My kids are bigger than you and they still can't do that. You are an amazing wonder and a miracle of God. Don't ever forget God's great love for you and your family. I remind Him for you all the time.

Lots of love!

Max,

Great to hear that you keep getting better. I shaved my head for you. That way, your mom won't have to look funny. Ask her or your dad to show you the pictures. :)

You and your whole family is in our prayers.

Love,

Hi, Max! You don't know me, but I remember your Dad from when he wasn't much older than you playing basketball and then when he got bigger and played football. I just wanted you to know that I think of you twice every school day when I drive my school bus past the house where Grandpa and Grandma Elliott live, and I say a short prayer asking God to help make you well as soon as he can.

Hi Max,
I'm sure you don't remember me, but I worked with your daddy at Zimmer. You used to come in and visit us and daddy showed us a lot of pictures of you. I'm sorry that you are not feeling well, but I am sure there are a lot of angels watching out for you to help you get better. I've been in the hospital a lot because I wasn't feeling well either and it can be very tough sometimes, but I also know when some body cares it helps you a lot. I just want to tell you I care and hope you feel better real soon.

We will be praying for both Max and the family. I have heard amazing stories around how a very difficult time like this can also shower you with good things as wellsuch as the further love, strength, and closeness in the family (though I realize it might not feel or seem that way while in the moment). Having 2 little ones, I know the pain must be unbearable at times, but fortunately Max comes from strength and is showing it now.

God bless

Dear Max and family, Thinking of you as you begin your journey to wellness once again...our grandson, Clark began the same journey at 4 1/2 last May with ALL - his broviac is scheduled to be removed next month...I read about your experiences with many memories as I went to treatments sometimes with Clark. He also has a two-yr old sibling, but a brother who was just one when Clark was diagnosed - he had severe leg and hip pain. He's been through all the same tests and chemos- you are both real troopers; he knows his routines when he gets to spend an overnight with Mommom it's after broviac care. I know your Aunt Debbie Glass who lives near me in Maryland - in fact I was Emily's teacher last year - she keeps tabs on Clark through Caring-Bridge too. Take care, Max, Mom and Dad too,you're in my prayers. Phyllis Thomas

Hi there Little One,

My name is Vaughn Allen and I am a friend of Henry Cho. I attend church with Henry and Amy and I have been praying for you ever since the first that Henry told us of your condition. I am a cancer survivor but I have to go through chemo about every three or four years because my cancer keeps coming back. This is not as bad as it sounds. When I was first diagnosed with lymphoma, I was told that I had between 7 and 9 years to live. That was 16 years ago and I am still livning and loving life. I am a walking miracle and I feel that you will be one too. The last round of chemo that I took involved pregnasone, a steriod. So, I know how you feel. I would get up in the middle of the night and come down stairs to my office and work until my wife, Brenda, got up to go to work. Then , I would work all day, keeping a close eye on the refrigrator to make sure there was plenty of food for me to eat ALL DAY LONG!

I left a message on your Dad's cell phone with my telephone number if he would like to talk to someone who has been through some of the things that you are going through. I even had a bone marrow biopsy and harvest, so I know that you are going to be sore for a day or so and that you didn't care for that biopsy one little bit. The good news is that you should not have to do it ever again.

Well, I will promise to pray for you at least once a day until you are all well and back doing the things that little ones like you are supposed to be doing. I do want to leave you with something that I found this morning that encouraged me and I hope it encourages you and your Mom and Dad:

Have you ever been just sitting there and all of a sudden you feel
like doing something nice for someone you care for? THAT'S GOD talking
to you through the Holy Spirit.

Have you ever been down and out and nobody seems to be around for you
to talk to? THAT'S GOD wanting you to talk to Him.

Have you ever been thinking about somebody that you haven't seen in a
long time and then next thing you know you see them or receive a phone
call from them? THAT'S GOD. There is no such thing as coincidence.

Have you ever received something wonderful that you didn't even ask
for, like money in the mail, a debt that had mysteriously been
cleared, or a coupon to a department store where you had just seen
something you needed, but couldn't afford? THAT'S GOD knowing the
desires of your heart.

Have you ever been in a situation and you had no clue how it was going
to get better, how the hurting would stop, how the pain would ease,
but now you look back on it.
THAT'S GOD passing us through tribulation to see a brighter day.

Do you think that this was accidentally sent to you?
NO! I was thinking of you!

In His Name,

Vaughn Allen

Hey Max,
We love you sooo much and send you hugs and kisses. Your mom's cousin, Chris, is going to run a marathon in March and is asking people to pledge money if he completes the 26 miles. The money will go to a place that will help find a cure for "yukky" illnesses (American Cancer Society)and while he is running he'll be thinking about you. You'll help him over the finish line.
I'll let you know how he does. I hope he is as strong as you are!
Love to you,Abbie,and your Mom&Dad

Hi Max, Ga-Ga is missing you and so is Abbie. Abbie wishes you were here too, but she is really having a good time. She and Emmie are very noisy together and would probably hurt your ears. They are very "pink" - doing lots of girly things. I am so glad you are doing such a good job with your pills. You are a champ and Abbie and I are praying for you every day. I love you to infinity - Ga-Ga

Hey Max -- I am the librarian at the school where your Aunt Heather teaches. Do you like funny poems? Here is one for you. It is about a snowball: I made myself a snowball / As perfect as could be. / I thought I'd keep it as a pet / and let it sleep with me. / I made it some pajamas / And a pillow for its head. / Then last night it ran away. / But first -- it wet the bed.

I hope it makes you giggle -- how silly to make pajamas for a snowball. You are a very brave boy and I am praying for you to get better very, very fast.

You are in our thoughts and prayers. Remember, take your illness one day at a time. The sun comes up every day! I am a seven year cancer survivor. How much more we realize what we have in these times. May God Bless.

I heard about this & got the link from my friend Rob Zink. I prayed that the "peace of God, which transcends all understanding..." would be with you all (from Phillipians 4:7) and that Max would be healed.

Max, Madison and I really miss your smiling face and your bright blue eyes. The Pre-school isn't the same without you. Every day she asks about you and when going to bed she says a prayer for you and your family. We all are waiting for the day you can come back to school. Take care, with love your friends Madison and Maxine.

Matt is truly a fighter. God will bless you all. Please try to keep your (especially his) spirits up, that is such an important part of the fight. There is a very good book about the part that faith plays in healing, 'The Anatomy of Hope (or Faith, I've had a brain tumor! can't remember too well!!!!) by Dr. Jerry Groopman (sp?), which talks about how physicians have changed their approach over the years and now see what an important part spirituality plays in our health. Take care and know that many are praying for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
