Hi Layton and Summer,
I got Macy's web page thru your mom, Layton. She was my 4th grade teacher at WMCS. You grew up down the street from my parents. Your family is beautiful. I can't believe that you are old enough to be a dad. I remember when you were born! God has blessed you with those wonderful girls and I know that He has great things in store for your family. You will all be in our prayers. We are possibly moving to Fort Worth for my husband to take a job at Cook Children's Hospital. We will be so close!
Merry Christmas to you all. God bless you even more than He already has.

I am so glad the recent appointments have gone well and that Macy's growth is good. I'll be praying for her upcoming appt. to the cardiologist that it will also go well and you will hear nothing but positive news. I liked the verse you shared!

Summer,
I have stopped this morning after reading your email and said a prayer for your family. I know that our Lord, the ultimate Healer, will make you all well again soon-- however...in the mean time I hope you will be able to keep yourself and Emerson out of the "flying vomits" way! I am hoping that as I right this, on the 16th of November, everyone is healthier in your household.
Lots of prayers for health and happiness! The blessing I can see in all of this is that this did not happen next week (during Thanksgiving)! God's timing is always perfect!
Love and prayers,
Ashley

Summer,
I just wanted to congratulate you on your amazing family of FIVE! (Party of Five it is at your house!) I have been constantly thinking of you all and praying for you all. I keep up with Macy's website daily. Praises to our Lord for her new bumps and bruises--this means she is just a little girl having little girl problems--nothing out of the ordinary (like surgery or being in the ICU)--I was sad to hear of her fall, but praiseful that is was just that--Macy being just a little girl having fun! I am continually checking and praying for her needs *as well as your families! You are such a blessing to your friend Paige and her daughter Shelby Kate. She is now next to Macy's page on my "favorites". She has been in my prayers continuously throughout the past few weeks. I hope you are able to take some time for yourself this week--you have a lot going on--three kiddos--and you are such a good friend to so many! I just wanted you to know that you are never more than a prayer away! Love, Ashley

Hello Dale Family,
You do not know me - I heard of your little friend Shelby Kate through a friend named Cari and was on her site yesterday b/c her story made we weep and I had to find out more. Then I saw the link to you and any mascara that was left was now smeared all over the shirt I was wearing b/c I used it to wipe tears as I sat at the computer. These tears were not so much tears of sadness but of rejoicing with my Heavenly Father b/c of your unbelievable testimony of God's strength and your unwaivering faith and belief in Him and the incredible words of wisdom you have written. To know that you are laying all at His feet and have full and complete trust in Him is so powerful and moving. I am a stranger to you but now a prayer warrior with you as well.You are a testimony of God's consistant strength and unending love. I will stand in the gap with you and your little friend Shelby Kate and continue to intercede for all of your precious children. Macy is a little miracle and I am so honored to just know her story and learn about the faith of her parents. We worship and serve the most amazing God - the God who adores us, hears us, walks with us, guides us, sustains us and can heal us in all our iniquities. We are nothing without Him - You are a living testimony of the realness of God - He still reigns and gives us such hope and we know how the story ends - Jesus wins! He has the victory!
To God be all the glory,
Karen Reitz

You are such a brave little girl taking care of you new little sister at her doctor's visit. You have learned so much from your big sister now you can show Emerson how to handle those doctors like a pro. Way to go! We are proud of you. You are growing up to be such a big girl!

Layton & the "Dale Girls"
Loved the new pictures of the girls, and thankful for good reports from the docs. We pray for Macy & your family daily, but will pray specifically that her kidneys will begin to function at a normal level on their own. I know Layton's parents loved every minute being with the girls. When we grandparents live away, and don't get to see our GRANDbabies on a regular basis, we cherish every minute we have with them!! We're headed to San Antonio next week to watch the boys while Nathan & Leni are out of town.
I'll put Oct. 12th on my calendar for the arrival of Baby Dale #3. Can't wait to meet her!!
Love & blessings - MiMi Janet

Summer,
Hey! I just wanted you to know that I have been praying for Macy and your family for a while now. I don't know if you remember me but I remember you from WFR. My little girl Maggie has been through a similar health ordeal. We found out at 17 weeks that she had a hole in her diaphram and her organs coming through that hole crowding her lung. Anyway, long story short, she had surgery about a month after birth and we have been recovering since then. (She is 7 months now.) I read about the good sonogram and I am so happy about the good report. I definitely took it for grantide with my first child. I am praying for your sleep also. I'm dealing with the same thing right now! Bless you with that! Just know that you and your family are in my prayers!!

Dale Family -
We rejoice with you that all looks well with "little Dale #3." I'm glad to hear that your family got to escape for some fun at Sea World. We were there about a month ago with all 3 GRANDkids. We really enjoyed it, but it took awhile for Fred & I to recover!! Tell Miss Macy that if she needs help adding on a few pounds she can come to MiMi Janet's house. We are known to let kids have popscicles for breakfast, and just about anything else they want.
We are praying for continued good news from the Dale Family.
Love & blessings to all - MiMi Janet

Summer,
Just wanted you to know I checked Shelby Kate's website. What a blessing you are! It is often so amazing to see how God uses the path He has planned for us to put us in a place to bless others. I am rejoicing today for you and the amazing path the Lord has had you walk down with such grace--and where you have chosen to allow Him to bring you! What an amazing friend you are and will be to Shelby's family over the next few years. The Lord has great plans for your Macy, but He has also been working in your precious life as well!
Blessings from Nashville,
Ashley

Coppell, TX - Wednesday, July 19, 2006 11:45 AM CDT
I just wanted to drop in and introduce myself to you. My name is Michele and my youngest daughter, Darian also has Turner Syndrome. She was diagnosed at age 7. She is now 11. Just to tell you what a small world it is, I was conversing with a friend at our church who knew my daughter had some type of "syndrome" and mentioned Macy's name. I know Macy has been on our prayer list for quite some time, but I never knew she had Turner's. After talking more, I then learned that Macy is Barbara's great granddaughter and Lori's niece! I spoke with Barbara last week and told her to let you know that I woudl be happy to talk to you anytime! I am also on an email list for Turner Syndrome. There, parents, grandparents and girls and women with TS can share their stories. The address is: turnersyndromeforum@yahoogroups.com
Anyway, my daughter was dx at age 7. She weighed 6 lbs 12 ozs at birth, was 18 inches long and had very puffy hands and feet (still does!) She spit up constantly (due to her high arch palatte-due to Turners)She did not walk until 13 months, she never crawled (this led to poor upper body strength and she went to OT for about a year at age 7)She has very poor handwriting, she has lots of moles, upturned fingernails, took her forever to get nails on her two small toes and still loses the nails quite often on those toes, she has dark pigmented skin scattered on her body, broad area above the bridge of her nose, non-verbal learning issues, but praise God she does not have any of the heart or kidney problems often associated with TS. We do have to have her chcked every 5 years or so. She is not on growth hormone as we have concerns over the medication and future risks associated with it and we, personally opted not to give them to her. She is 4 foot 5 inches to date anbd weighs 120 pounds (yes she is my chunky monkey!) She is VERY hard to fit in shoes due to the thickness of her feet and her weight/height ratio. She was dx when a new pediatrician became concerned about her height/weight ratio 5 years ago, her weight was in the 90% and her height was in the 3% range for her age. The ped then sent us to a pediatric endocrinologist who drew blood and sent to Mayo Clinic which came back karotype: mos 45,X{18}/46,X,+r{12}.ish r(X)(DZX1x2)
Of 30 metaphases, 18 were monosomy X and 12 had a small ring chromosome. The ring was identified to have an X centromere using FISH specific probes for the X centromere (reported separately).
Since she has the mosaic form, her issues are not as severe.
Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and please feel free to email me anytime! We will continue to keep Macy in oour prayers! In His love, Michele Hodge

Layton, Summer, Ansley & Macy,
Who knew that four years ago - there was a greater plan and means of support that would bring your two precious families together. I am so thankful for all 4 of you, and the role you play in supporting Luke and Paige. I know they need you now - but I also know they will need you even more so in the future. What a blessing you have been these last few days! Summer - when I visited you and Macy at Medical City - after having my own daughter's head examined - I told you that it just wasn't right for us to be meeting in the ICU unit of a hospital with our children. I feel that way again today - but I know that God has a plan. We will continue to pray for Macy - for Shelby - and thank him for the many blessings - such as loyal and caring friends -that he continually gives us.
Much Love,
Kimberly

It quickly occurred to me when I heard about little Shelby Kate that your friendship with the Strawns was no less than providential. We thank God that you all have one another. His work is occasionally not so mysterious, although it does seem to have many layers that we don't see all at once. And we'll pray for your sleep, and patience during the lack thereof. That's so hard.

It is AMAZING to see how God puts friendships together for a far greater reason than we could have ever imagined. I'm so thankful to hear that Macy is doing well(aside from not sleeping through the night.) Hey - just give me a call during the night - at my age I've also stopped sleeping through the night. I was told it would happen!!
We pray daily for your family & have now added the Strawn's to our list.
Love you guys(or guess I should say guy & girls)

I got to hold our little Shelby Kate today and she is absolutely beautiful, much like your sweet daughters. I look forward to getting everybody home and well,so then "Great Aunt Cindy" can come keep all the girls and the couples can have a night out on the town! Thank you for all you are doing and your family is in our prayers daily.

You are in our prayers for upcoming doctor visits and for Macy's continued progress. Summer, you are a trooper for changing sheets all day - that's never fun or easy. You're right, it's easy to take for granted the days we have at home. They go so fast! God bless...

Mineola , tx USA - Monday, June 26, 2006 5:37 PM CDT
Macy will cherish these journal entries when she is older. She will admire your praising God in times of trouble. My OH-survivor son, Kyle, was at PineCoveChristianCamp recently. As always, people ask about his scar; he proudly tells them he had open-heart surgery at age 3. In this precious camp where Christ is alive & well, through discussion about his scar, he met a cabinmate whose Dad helped with that very surgery on Kyle -- right there, same cabin, out of hundreds of kids over several weeks of summer camp and God paired these two young men together!!! What a providential moment for BOTH young men to see God's handiwork & blessings are everlasting and far-reaching! Every blessing DOES turn back to PRAISE, literally, and my son has seen it just recently -- AGAIN! May you feel that He is carrying you in the palm of His hand, now and forever.

Summer -
I was doing my daily bible reading this morning and read the following scripture. Psalm 118:14 "The lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation." I believe God speaks to us and comforts us in so many ways, and I feel He is comforting you through the songs you have been hearing on the radio at just His perfect timing. Know that we continue to pray for your family daily.
Love to all of you

Summer, I too have heard the song "Praise Him Through the Storms" and felt as if it were saying everything I was going through and have gained a lot of insight and strength from the words. I hadn't been able to find them in writing until seeing your journal page. I've copied them to carry with me. Thank you!!! God has carried my family through some major storms recently and though its not always been easy, I have tried hard to praise Him. He is ever faithful and always worthy of our praise. Continue to praise Him, Summer, and He will continue to bless you, Macy and your family in more wonderful ways than you can ever imagine. My prayers are with you.

It is such a small world--Jeffrey and I went to dinner at Joe T's in Ft. Worth last Saturday for a date, and our cute waitress was a friend of yours! She told me about this website and I have been on it for over an hour reading your entire journal history. I haven't seen you since that day a few summers ago at Cutting Corners, but please know I am so blown away and proud of the amazing, mature Christian woman you have become. You are light years ahead of me!! I would love to see you. Please feel free to contact me at the email below. I don't know where you are, but if you are anywhere nearby, I would love to come see you. You have touched my heart in such a way that I can't explain. I just got done praying for each member of your family and have tears streaming down my face. The Lord is bigger than all of the things that worry you and you are such a little soldier. Thank you for your unbelievable witness and example. You are lifted up at the Bradley house! I will continue to pray for you and all of the Dales. Please contact me if you have a moment, but I understand if you don't! I love you! Love, Jenny

Summer,
You and your family hold such a special place in my heart. It has been an uplifting week for me to read (and re-read) the good news regarding Macy's daily progress! I love this quote from Mother Teresa and wanted to share it with you.... "Holiness does not consist of doing extrodinary things. It consists in accepting, with a smile, what Jesus sends us. It consists in accepting and following the will of God." Your family certainly does all of that! Love and hugs to you and the girls from Nashville.

What a blessing to read of Macy's progress. Thank you for keeping everyone posted. I love to see the pictures of your family. What precious little ones you have. Thought you would like to know that Macy was lifted up in prayer many times during our 24 hour prayer vigil at Harpeth Hills the Sat. and Sun. before her surgery and your family has been on our church wide email all week. Keeping you constantly in my prayers - Jane Travis

How wonderful to read that you are home! I know the stay seemed long, but I'm truly amazed that a 2 1/2 year old can have open-heart surgery on a Monday and be home on Friday. Incredible. It was so good to see you guys at the hospital, though I wish it had been under different circumstances. I'll email you soon to see how we can be of help in these first few days back at home. All my love to your family!

I know you are thrilled to be home! It must feel really good to have the hurdle of surgery and being in the hospital behind you. I agree that it's always easier to recover at home where you can rest without constant interruption from nurses, doctors, visitors, etc. Although these people are a blessing, it's just nice to be left alone at some point. May Macy continue to recover quickly! I'm also praying for rest for you all.

I just received an email from a friend at church about Macy's surgery. I had no idea all that you guys have been through until now. I sat and read your journal entries, along with my mom who is visiting me this week, and we both wept. I want to tell you that your courage and deep faith inspires me and makes me realize even more to never take things for granted. I am so sorry that I am just now learning about all of your family's trials, however; I want you to know from this day forward, Macy and your family will be in my prayers. I was so happy to read that Macy's surgery went well and I will pray that no other complications will arise.

We have your family and Macy on lots of prayer lists in N.W. Arkansas. I feel encoureged by how well the surgery went monday. Seth is keeping us well informed.

After an open heart surgery to fix a birth defect, she also had an irregular heart beat. She did receive a permanent pacemaker and 1 year later she is doing absolutely wonderful. I know it is different with an adult versus a child but please call me if you have any questions. Hang in there and I'm thinking about everyone.

Summer, Everything you are thinking and feeling is completely understandable. I am a mother of 2 and would feel no differently than you. Feel comfort in the fact that God is three steps ahead of you in all of this and He won't let you down. You are His child and he is guarding you as carefully as you are Macy and Ansley. Lean on Him, get some rest and remember that He is in full control. God answers prayers - thank you so much for the updates... God is good and faithful! Love, Julie :)

I am touched by your website and what your family is going through. Summer, you do not know me (I have a work connection with Layton) but the content of what you have written shows a lot of faith. It seems we never think we have enough but take some comfort in the faith you are demonstrating to others (like me). Best wishes for Macy's full recovery. Jo Lynn Dobie

Summer and Layton - I'm glad to hear that Macy has been able to get rid of a few of the wires and lines connected to her. (That must be difficult to manage with a 2-yr-old!) We'll be praying for the electrical circuiting in her heart to return to normal today. I know how stressful it was for us to be in ICU and to deal with the random oddities that seemed to pop up as Nicole's body tried to recuperate. I pray that God comforts you and gives you all rest and His peace today.

Summer,
What a joy talking with you yesterday afternoon! Believe me, I know how scary this all is for you! The not knowing is the hardest part. I believe it's moments like these that remind us how little control we have over our lives. The one in control loves us beyond our wildest imaginations and holds us in the palm of His hand. Summer, my wish for you this weekend is peace and calm. Trust that Macy will be taken care of when she's out of your arms and rejoice when you can hold her again. Emma and I prayed for Macy last night. We will continue to do so. Please keep us updated and let me know if there's anything I can do to help. Feel free to call me again if you need to. You will be amazed at how quickly the time will fly, and you all will be home. Macy will bounce back! Heart babies are strong and stubborn - thank goodness.
Take care,
Amy Lary

Hi Summer, thank you for being willing to let others in through all this. It touches me so deeply and I'm so inspired at how much I can feel God in your life when I read your blog. We have been and will continue to pray for Macy. I'm certain God's fingerprints will be all over every part of her surgery.

Dear Layton & Summer, Macy has certainly been on my heart lately as all of you have. Your strength and your faith touches me more than I can express, except that I want you to know the Lord is using you in a mighty way. It's my prayer that God will be holding little Macy and all of you in his arms so tight that you will feel his comfort and his strength and that all your prayers will be answered because of the faith you have shown in Him. Hopefully you will be able to feel all of us with you as well. Romans 8:35 & 37 "Who shall seperate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors throught him who loved us." In my eyes you have truly made this passage truth. Yours in Christ, Chuck Hanson

To Macy's Momma...You don't know me, but I am a friend of Matt Smith's. I stay at home with my daughter who will be 2 in July. I am touched by your story and was impacted to read that you will welcome "boredom" back into your everyday life. I have been guilty of complaining about that in mine...and needed to tell you "thanks" for opening my selfish eyes to the blessing of my everyday "boring" routine. I will be praying with all my heart for your days to return to "boring". Thank you for sharing your story with others - it is an inspiration.
In Christian love -

God is watching over. I was just tooling around in my email folders and found an old email from Lori Baldridge about Macy. It spurred me to check the site and read the latest updates. I forwarded the prayer requests for Macy on to a Mom's prayer group (about 90 moms). You've got a few more prayer warriors interceding for Macy and your family now.
We'll be praying for Macy.

I found a link to Macy's site on Tesney's blog. Tesney and I are from the same hometown. I was at Harding for a year and I remember you when you roomed with Tesney.
I read Macy's story and it has touched my heart as I know it has touched all who have read it. Your family is so brave and your faith in God is inspiring. I know it is impossible for us to understand God's plan for our lives, but our faith in His plan gives us peace and comfort in difficult times.
Your daughters are absolutely beautiful. Your family will be in our daily prayers. Thank you for sharing your story and your faith with others. I know little Macy's story is touching more lives than you will ever imagine.

Six and a half years ago my son was born with a physical problem which required the immediate help and care of Childrens Hospital in Dallas. He had two subsequent surgeries there at 6 months old. Rest assured that the doctors and staff of Childrens Hospital are the greatest. They helped us in so many ways. I wanted to say these things so that you might breathe a little easier in some small way. Macy is in good hands which are being guided by even greater hands.

Hi Summer! My heart is overwhelmed by your faith in the LORD above. HE has given you such wisdom and grace through all of these trials. Thank you for being such a shining encouragement. Our family will be praying for your family and the upcoming surgery. My favorite verse is found in Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge HIM and HE will make your paths straight." Thank you for sharing your story. Love, Leslie Daniel Echols

My heart aches for you just trying to imagine the fear and anxiety of waiting for Macy's surgery to be over and her to be back to her spunky little self.

She is a true little soldier! She is a fighter and I know she will be in good hands. I pray that you feel the Lord's presence and peace during these next weeks. I know how anxious we get as mothers but I also know the extreme peace that can only come from above. I will be praying for this peace for your family. I will continue to have yall in my prayers and continue to Praise God for all of His Mighty works with your precious Angel. What a miracle! He has big plans for her!

Hey Guys,
After seeing your names on the Harding Alum Digest, I had to come check on Miss Macy again. My wife and I know exactly what it feels like to have your children hooked up to machines and IV's and having no "control" of the situation. On Easter Sunday, we were blessed with our twin girls Abaigail and ANSLEY!! We didn't expect them to be 11 weeks early, but the girls were ready to get here. We have had great days and aweful days. When this first happened, I had several people remind me about what you guys went thru back in '03. You are an inspiration and I thank you. I hope all our girls continue to get better. Macy is in our thoughts and prayers. Just like a proud daddy, I will post our website so you can see my pretty girls too. www.abigailandansley.blogspot.com

summer and layton, along with many others we will be praying for y'all and your special sweet girls. don't be too fretful about meeting "normal" on a chart--our little girl was 2 1/2 when we adopted her and she was only 30 inches tall. she still falls in a low height percentile, but is never the shortest in a group her age. As long as she is growing, she will get where she is meant to be! I taught Layton briefly in highschool, and am glad to hear he is doing so well.
God Bless

This miracle child is such a blessing. I thank you for keeping this journal as it is so encouraging. God has truly blessed you with two beautiful children and now a third on the way. God is with you always. Remember He will not allow you to go through anything you cannot handle. His strength flows through you. You are in our prayers. We will be praying for Macy's complete healing. She has been an inspiration to many people. We have a two year old grandson who is very small like Macy but very healthy. We have worried about his weight and height but now I know it's only his stature and can completely lay aside the concerns as he is very healthy but only about the size of Macy with her health problems. Thank you again for your journal.

Summer, your faith is amazing to me as I read your journal entries...thank you for being an encouragement to me and so many others. I will be praying daily for your family as you prepare for surgery. I also pray that you are able to enjoy this month and a half before the surgery and not feel too overwhelmed with anxiety.

I talked to your mom this morning and she told me about Macy's upcoming surgery. You know that Fred & I will be praying for Macy & all of you as we have since the day she was born. As we all have witnessed - she is a fighter and
that same spirit will see her through this surgery. God has special plans for her!! We will pray for peace for all of you as you wait for the surgery. I looked at the pictures & the first one of Macy looked like Kourtney to me!! They are precious. Don't get to see enough of them!
Love to all of you!!

Summer and Layton,
I am your parents neighbor and have met you Summer, at Gigi's home.
I have to tell you how you have inspired me this morning
while reading Macy's story. You are a strong person.
I was worried this weekend about my 11 year old son not being active enough. Big deal, huh? This story puts everything into perspective. He's a great, smart, loving boy and who really cares if he's not the athletic type.
I just say this to let you know how trivial this seems to
me because of Macy's plight ahead.
I know that the only way to get through this is by putting
all of our trust in God. I can't imagine not having the
belief that he is there for us when we can't go it alone.
I will pray everyday for sweet Macy and your family. She
is a beautiful little girl. I commit to this for you and
your family. I just love your Mom. She, too, is a beautiful person - inside and out!

Hi, Summer and Family. I'm sorry you have to go through this medical event with Macy, but I just know everything's going to be fine. I remember 21 years ago when Landon had to go in for eye surgery. I just wished it could've been me they were cutting on, not him. I know you all feel the same way about this ordeal. It's such a relief when it's over. I looked at the pictures. Your girls are just so precious. I know God will continue to bless your sweet family.

Greg and I will definitely be praying for Macy's upcoming surgery and for your peace of mind. I can only imagine the anxiety you must feel having to wait until June. I am praying that the time will pass quickly and that God will give you a huge measure of peace while you wait. Please don't ever feel like you are asking for too much by giving us prayer requests in your journal entries. God wants us to share our burdens and pray for each other! It's a blessing to be able to pray for your family and to see the results of those prayers.

Dear Layton & Summer, It's been a while since I checked on Macy, however Loretta & Lyndal keep me informed when I see them. I'm so thankful that Macy is doing so well. The Lord tells us he won't put on us more than we can bare and the way that your faith has carried you and allowed to you to deal with your challenge has really encouraged and strengthen me. May God continue to watch over you and your family and bless you as he sees you have need. Layton, Klane still can't (hasn't) beat me in golf yet. You and your family are in my prayers. Yours in Christ, Chuck Hanson

Poor little Macy! I feel so sorry for her (and you!) every time a nurse or doctor gets their hands on her. Yet, God gives children a special gift that grown-ups don't have and it is the ability to bounce back. We pray God continue to bless you through this time and that you see His hand holding yours through it. A verse came to mind - Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you...plans to give you hope and a future." Love you all!

Dear Summer,
Your sweet scriptures have been a blessing to me this evening as I read the most recent journal entries. (I will read more ASAP.) Here is a scripture that I'm sure has brought you great comfort. ". . .I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my rightous right hand." Isaiah 41:10
This is a voice from the past--your English teacher from Coppell Middle School. What a joy it has been to hear from your family each year at Christmas--and what a special joy it is to see the pictues of your beautiful family! It does not surprise me that you show such strength in the challenges of caring for two young girls--one with health concerns. The girls are absolutely darling and one would not know of Macy's history from viewing the photos. She sparkles like her big sister--and her precious mother. (Some students become a special part of a teacher's heart and you are one of those.)
Please tell your mother thank you for her "catch up" note and also tell her that Ryan (and Katy) will be married on March 11, 2006. He is a very happy financial advisor/insurance broker, who finds great pleasure in helping his clients meet their goals. He lives 11 minutes from us so we see him as often as his busy schedule will allow.
This is my 31st year in teaching--the last 14 as middle school gifted education teacher in Edmond, Oklahoma. I have most of my students for three years and enjoy that immensely.
All of you will be in my prayers, and I shall be anxious for updates. May God continue to give you strength and bring comfort to Macy in the bath, swing, and doctor's office.
Love--Patti Butts, Edmond, Oklahoma

Can you believe you are going to be an Aunt! Congrats to Brittany and Seth. Please let her know I will keep her in my prayers.
Ron and I could not be better. We have 4 grandchildren, 3 girls (9,7,& 3) and one grandson (4). Our children are all doing great. My mother and dad and doing really good. Getting older but aren't we all.
Tell you Mother I said hello. I miss seeing her, well I really miss seeing all of you.
Take care and God Bless!

Just wanted you to know how much I enjoy keeping up with you guys through the website. In one sense it seems like Macy can't possibly be turning two already. But then again, I think about when she was born and it seems so long ago. You guys have come so far!

Oh, Summer -- Ansley and Macy are SO beautiful! I am smiling so big seeing these sweet pictures!! I feel so out of touch with your family and would really like to be in better touch. I am glad that I found your website again -- keep us all posted! (I just read about Macy's crush on the little boy down the street...it reminds me, when Lindsey was about that age, she had a crush on Michael Jordan! Sharon would say something about him and point to the Wheaties box, and she would smile and get all shy -- pretty funny!) May God continue to bless your family -- with believing HIM and trusting Him in everything.

It's wonderful to see the progress Macy has made...almost 2 years old! Ansley has also grown so much - you are blessed to have such beautiful daughters, the pictures are priceless! You're in my prayers, always.

Frisco, Tx - Tuesday, October 4, 2005 7:56 AM CDT
Those pictures are precious. Your girls are so sweet and full of personality! I often struggle with the "believing God" stuff, too. Are we supposed to just sit back and leave it in God's hands, letting Him do all the work, or does He expect us to take an active role, using His guidance and help? You're an awesome mom, either way. God knows your heart, and He knows it's good!

I'm so glad to hear that your MRI came back normal. But, of course you have headaches...you have two active children to chase after!!!! The girls are absolutely ADORABLE! Those pigtails on Macy have got to be the cutest thing. She is getting so big, and you don't have to compare her to her baby pics to see it. She looks so happy and FIESTY! I'm glad to hear and see that all is going well.
Love, Amy

We are so glad to hear that Ansley's tests came out normal!! Praise God! That goose egg was unbelievable! I would love to see the girls and Macy practically walking - that so great! Thanks for sharing your Sunday lesson with us. It was such a great way to remember the importance of being content. I struggle with that daily. We love you and continue to remember you in prayer.

God is good! I'm so glad to hear that Ansley's results were normal. What an excellent example of the power of prayer!
I love hearing about the sibling rivalry! I'm sure there are and will be times when you wish it wasn't there, but like you said, it's so great to see them interacting with each other like other siblings do. I'm cracking up at the thought of Macy following Ansley around and getting into her stuff! I remember Brittany and Kourtney doing the same to us at your house! WATCH OUT! I'm sure your mom could give you some pointers.
I hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter!
Love,
Amy

Summer and Layton,
You are the poster family for "never a dull moment". Thanks so much for keeping us up to date and sharing pictures, although we all hope we don't see another one with such a big goose-egg on Ansley. Hope she is feeling better from that and all her tests. Keep the faith and enjoy your Easter weekend.

It has been a long time since I have written in the guestbook-it was right after Macy was born. But, every week, I review the journal and look at the precious pictures of the girls. I have always kept your family in my prayers. When I heard last week that Ansley was sick, my heart went out to you and as a mother of three, I could fully understand your fears. I was worried about her all weekend and prayed that the procedure went well. I was so happy to see today that everything looked good. Have a wonderful Easter.

Summer,
I am still a faithful reader of your journals and continue to pray for your sweet family. I feel your "mother bear" pain. When our baby hurts, we hurt and it is difficult to not go straight to the what ifs and to allow the scars of past hurts begin to flame again. But I believe God is perfect and watches over us all. My Ansley will also be having surgery this spring to continue correcting her feet. I do not look forward to the anesthesia or entire process for that matter as she is now well aware of what is happening to her. I will be praying for your precious girl, for your ability to "hang in there" and for God to whisper once again to your heart. As always, I continue to pray for Macy. Take care.

Summer,
I actually had the day off because Carson has been sick with a nasty virus and so I am able to catch up on your web-site. It was about a month ago Carson gave us a health scare with having an asthma attack and having to be in the hospital two days with pneumonia, asthma, and double ear in fection. I couldn't stop thinking about you guys. I was thinking this is just a tiny tiny glimpse into the lives of the Dale family. It is so hard to have a sick baby, your heart aches when they are not well and having to go through all the pains of being sick. I feel even more compassion for your situation and am also in more awe of how you have handled these last few years with everything you have been through. I am so glad you told about Ansley. You are perfectly normal to react the way you are, that is just the mommy in you wanting our children to be healthy and not in any pain or sickness. I will pray your requests and pray for peace in your heart. Hang in there, God has many wonderful plans in all of this. We love you and miss you all!
Michael Ann Ramer <michaelannramer@yahoo.com>
Fayetteville, AR - Tuesday, March 8, 2005 3:40 PM CST
Tubes in the ears...YUCK! What a hassle. On the other hand, what a normal thing for children. My sister had tubes in her ears. Blair had tubes in her ears. Of course, I wish Macy didn't have to go through any of it, especially because of all the prep involved due to her medical history, but in a way, I was relieved that it was a procedure I had actually heard of before! It wasn't some rare occurrence that was brought on because of anything specific. Many kids end up having to get tubes. Don't get me wrong...I'm not down playing the severity of it in any way. I know you and your family know me well enough to understand what I'm saying and not to take this the wrong way, should it end up sounding differently than I mean it to! I'm just glad that Macy and Ansley, both, are continuing to grow and develop and become stronger, sweeter and cuter everyday! Thanks for the updates. Give my best to your mom and the rest of your family.
Love,
Amy

Hey Dale's. It's so great to see how much Macy has grown in the last year. I also read the past entries and almost started crying when you talked about her being a year old and the uncertainty of that at one point. What a blessing that she has recovered so much from those scary ICU days. I am so thankful for His blessing Macy with progress and with wonderful parents!!

WOW! I can't get over how much Macy has grown over the last year! I am so excited for you and Layton that your children are strong and healthy enough that you are able to leave on a trip for the weekend! What a blessing for your family and for you and Layton. I will pray that you have a safe journey and that God put peace and comfort in your heart and mind so that you are able to enjoy this time with Layton. I will also be praying for Ansley that her little tummy stops hurting and that her tests come back normal. I will ALSO pray that you get rid of the notion that you are asking so much out of everyone when asking for prayers. So many people would LOVE to have the ability to do MORE, so praying is the LEAST we can do. Have a great trip!

I've just read your updates since the start of the new year, but always have you in my heart each day as I pray for you all. I'm sorry about your granddad. A similar situation happened with my grandmother a few years ago and it is never easy. I'll be praying for your family for this as well. Macy is such a beautiful baby girl and so happy that she is doing better. We pray that Ansley's results all come back good too. We miss you guys and hope to see you soon. You still amaze us with your steadfast faith, courage, and perserverence. We love ya'll!

We are so thankful that God has blessed her with the gift of life and that He has given you two an extra measure of patience,love, and maturity. We continue to pray for miracles in this sweet angel's life, as well as continued hope and a positive spirit for you two. Ansley will be a completely different young woman because of everything that has happened this last year and a half. I will always believe Romans 8:28 and pray for an even better new year for the Dales and Allisons. We love you dearly......Linda,Steve,Leeanne and Jeff.

I have just finished reading the entire journal of Macy, so no need to update me on her progress as I stated below. What a year it has been. Keep up the awesome job as parents. Because of the power of the Lord and love you have for Macy, she will continue to show you miracles. Do you remember me saying when she was at Children's, "I just do not believe what they are saying!" Macy is proving herself every day. You are truly blessed. Hang in there, I can not imagine going through everything you have been through this past year. You are so strong. May God continue to bless your wonderful family.

Summer and Layton,
So glad to hear how Macy is doing. I think of you often and how much you touched my heart while Macy was at Children's. The girls are both beautiful. I would love to hear all the details of her progress. Children are amazing. I no longer work at Children's CVICU. In fact I have been several places since leaving there in April. However, I am now in school to be a neonatal nurse practitioner. Anyway, Merry Christmas to you and your families. I would love to hear from you.

I just read the updates and also Praise God for the accomplishments that Macy is doing. He is so faithful. Your story is such a testimony to when we will believe that He is who He says he is and can do ALL things that many things are possible. I hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Wilson & Bailey both ask how Macy is doing as they too have prayed for her over the past year. Wilson said it was one of the things he was Thankful for over the past year. This has been a wonderful witness to him of the power of prayer. God bless you all.

Hello, Dale Family,
I just read the most recent update and am delighted that Macy is pulling up. It is great, also, that she is progressing in so many other ways, as well. I believe we could say Macy has become the "moving on up" kid: from spit-up to sit-up to pull-up! How wonderful! Your family is still on my prayer list. Thanks for the beautiful pictures!
Love to All,

What a wonderful affirmation from the Lord for Macy to sit up on Ansley's birthday and just before her own first birthday! God is so good! It's truly amazing to see the pictures of Macy--she seems like she's grown so much in the most recent pictures. Ansley--Macy is so blessed to have such a great big sis! We rejoice with you as Macy continues to defy the odds and give testiment to the great physician! Sum--I still hope to see you all sometime soon!

Hi Summer,Layton, Ansley and Macy, The birthday pictures are precious. I remember holding that little angel, Macy when you were in Destin this summer. What a joy it was to see her and now to see her on her first birthday. Sorry we don't keep in touch more, but seem to get caught up in every day living. We love all of you. Aunt Mary and Uncle Fred

Summer and Layton, I have been think so much of you as it gets closer to Macy's first birthday. God has really been so faithful. I was truly moved as I read and thought about your feelings and emotions over the past year, Summer. You still are able to find blessings in the midst of your storms and I don't think you will EVER know how many people, who have read about or seen your faith have been inspired and encouraged by you both. We still are thinking about and praying for Macy's health and all of you. I hope your move goes well. Love, Kelly Pike

Howdy to the Dale Family! We celebrated what would have been David's first birthday on Saturday and I kept thinkning about you guys and how far you have come in that year. I'll never forget seeing Macy just two weeks after David was born and praying so hard for her. We still pray hard for her, you know. And we still love her. It's probably unbelievably easy to get exhausted and frustrated with all of this, but if you look in from my point of view, you have come SUCH a long way. I admire you all so much. And most of all, I admire YOU, sweet Macy! I can't believe you're almost a year old! Macy, do you think you could ever talk your mom into bringing you guys over here for dinner some time? We'd sure love to see you. :)

I am glad that Macy is doing fine. I am one of the doctors who tooke care of her in the ICU in November last year. She apparently did better than what the neurologist had predicted. Today I saw her photo posted in the ICU so I decided to visit this site to see how she si doing.

Summer & Layton- Macy is such a beautiful girl! I'm sure Ansley is as well, but her pictures weren't posted this last time that I checked in. Your journal entries never cease to amaze me... it is so encouraging to witness your faith through this hardship. I know Macy has been a huge blessing to your life, but I can see that you guys are and will continue to be a huge blessing to her. The compassion, dedication, discipline, selflessness, etc. that it requires of you to take care of her is a lesson in itself. But the Godly example that you shine on her is the most important lesson you can pass on. You will be blessed for teaching your children about the Lord. Thank you for your example to us! We love you so much. Let us know if you're ever in Fort Worth... or maybe we'll just run into you guys at Cozymel's again!

Reading your journal it is hard to believe that these are the words of the little girl I met in 1987. You have grown into a wonderful woman of God. May he give you an extra measure of strength and peace in the days ahead. Macy is a cutie. I hope to be able to give her a hug in person soon.

I can only imagine as I have a picky eater on my hands with Carson and pray about his eating habits, then Macy's is so much more. Please share all of your thoughts and concerns, and don't hesitate. I thank God for you and your amazing faith and courage this past year. We love ya'll.

It's got to be difficult not to have "normal" days. Little routine tasks that most of us take for granted are huge for little Macy.
My children have a half sister (with their father and his wife) who is 5 now and has CP. I'm learning through her situation that miracles do happen with medical technology and God's help. She has made huge strides in a short time and starts kindergarten this week. I'll keep pulling for Macy to continue to make good process. God Bless your family.

Oh, Summer, I sit here crying just reading your sweet comments about your precious family. Anytime your children hurt, you as their mommy will hurt tenfold. I often experience the same thoughts with my sweet Ansley. I have come to conclude that although there are so many worse things that could have happened to her and I am so thankful for where she is, you never want anything to be wrong with your child-for their sake. Whatever each individual is dealing with is real and a concern for that particular family and situation; and so it is ok and normal to wish and long for "normalcy" and to hurt for your child and their loss of that. We continue to pray for your family. What a blessing you have all been to others.

In July I saw some pictures of Macy, she is a beautiful child. I found this quote and would like to share it with you, Trust God where you cannot trace Him. Do not try to penetrate the cloud He brings over you; rather look to the bow that is on it. The mystery is God's; the promise is yours. John Mac Duff.

You know Mel/Elizabeths mom as I am always called.....I have kept up with liitle Macy since her birth......
shelley told me about the websit and I look forward to hearing from you about her.. I dont know if you know this
or not but Elizabeth was a twin.......and I lost her sister
in a I mean I hate this word STUPID home accident.......
So I know the pain of heartache.........but I also know the
pleasure of happiness.............So I agree be thankful for what you have but I also sometimes wish I could have had the normal life but not to be.................But there not many who would know what there daughter would have looked like at 25 years of age after a lost at 18 monts.....but God gave me Elizabeth who was identical to Rebecca......so I at least I have that...............
God is helpful in so many ways..........those girls are precious........

Dear Summer,
Though you do not know me, I am a member of your "forever family," as we say at WFRcC. We are all amazed at your faith and endurance.
My husband and I have 5 healthy children and 7 healthy grandchildren. I can not even imagine how it must feel to watch one of them endure what Macy has. My heart aches to think of it. I thank God daily for my precious family, and I pray that your precious family will be normal & well again very soon. In the mean time you continue to bless everyone with your faith. Love in Christ, Judy

I just read your last entry and my heart does go out to you We have four children two of them with problems. One of them is mentally challenged ( I hate the term delayed because he will never catch up ) and then I also have one that is bi polar. I have often longed for a "normal" family. I have learned that sometimes you have to mourn the death of the normal child you don't have to deal with the child you do have. Several times during their life you will have to do this. For me right now the hard part is dealing with a 16 yr. old who is not able to learn to drive and get his license but of course he knows that is what others his age do so he wants to also. The mother in me feels sad for my child, but I sometimes think he handles things better than myself. I wish that I could just talk to you. May God bless all of you. Linda Paul

Just about the time I think the pictures of the girls couldn't be any cuter, you send more and set me to "oohing and aahing" again. Thanks for sharing them with us, and thanks for sharing your thoughts. You and your family continue to be an inspiration to me, and I look forward to whatever you have to say, whenever you want to say it. Don't stop, and don't feel guilty for having the feelings you do; after all, you are only human and moms do want the best for their children. One thing is for sure: Macy and Ansley have the best for parents. You are in my prayers.

Summer, God is so blessed by your honest heart. He knows the great burdens you carry and is glorified by your sincereity. I loved your 1 Peter 1:16!! Keep Believing God for every victory. He will restore you and will carry on the great work in Macy until it's completion.
"So Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you." Mt 17:20 Summer, your faith is definitely greater than that of a Mustard Seed! These mountains too shall MOVE! It's such a blessing to be able to catch up on Macy and all that she is accomplishing. I still check in to see how she is doing!! :) And yes, VENT ON! God loves to hear your heart.

I have not kept up with Macy's website in the last several months like I should have. Upon revisiting today for the first time in a long time I am astonished to see the work the Lord is doing not only in Macy's life but your own. Your recent inclusion of scriptures really speaks volumes of how God is using Macy in your life to bring you closer to Him.

You have a beutiful family! I can't believe how much Macy has grown since the first time I saw her picture. We at Fellowship Church - Grapevine/Hand In Hand Ministry continue to pray for Macy. Just think of how much she has been been able to accomplish and how she has touched so many lives since she was born. She is a very special little girl. Should you need anything, please let us know.

Dear Layton & Summer, Your continued faith and the strength you draw from God's word have been a real inspiration to me. Summer, I know it's hard to have patience and allow things to happen on God's time table, but you are doing great. Layton, saw your mom at church couple of weeks ago, she had a few (?) pictures of your visit. Macy's courage has also been an inspiration for me and the lesson's Ansley's is gaining from all of you will strengthen her faith as she grows. May God continue to hold you up and strengthen you. Thanks for sharing your struggle with us, you're in my prayers. Chuck

Hey guys!! I still look at the site and think about Macy quite often. Even the nurses at the ICU the other day were talking about your sweet girl. They STILL talk about her!! And your sweet family. You really made an impact on everyone there! We will be praying for your move across town and for Macy's continued health. Please call me if you have any spur of the moment speech/language concerns. I know you guys are well taken care of but I know sometimes it helps to talk to a friend about these matters.

Summer-
Hi, this is Angie Layman. Remember, we met at Carson's birthday party at Michael Ann's. I used to watch Carson.....well, I was watching an old video and I saw where Michael Ann introduced us and in the background, Wade's mother was holding Macy.I haven't heard anything in a while and I was curious. So, I researched my e-mails and found the one with this website in it from Michael Ann. Wow, I just read all of your entries since January and I am amazed and encouraged. I know that your faith in the Lord has been such an incredible testimony to many, many people. I know that weeks full of doctor visits can be stressful and testing. (I had a baby with some health problems too) However, you are truly a living, walking, talking testimony of God's word, "Where we are weak, he is strong." I will be praying for you and your sweet family. Just know Summer, this is only a season....thank you so much for being so willing to share your journey with us, it's a true blessing.
May God grant you peace and strength,
Angie

I keep your family in my daily prayers and thank God for keeping His healing hand on Macy. Every Sunday morning, my Bible class(18-24 months old) thanks God for allowing Macy to get stronger and stronger everyday. You should hear them repeat what I say in prayer, it's so sweet and a bunch of mixed up words, but God knows exactly what they mean! I am counting down the weeks until your arrival in West Memphis and look forward to seeing all of you! Hugs and kisses to all of you and I love you!

I first heard of your family and Macy through my daughter Melanie. We have been praying for Macy's health and the family's health and strength since Macy's birth. Although this is the first time I've written, I have had Macy in thought and prayer for a long time. I know first hand the healing power of God, as my twins were born 3 months early with multiple health problems, but God was so good to us through those rough times, and continues His faithfulness today. Your faith in Him, and His faithfulness to you will see you through as He has in the past. May He bless each of you abundantly!

Hi Summer, Layton and girls,
Michael Ann and Carson are here in Houston visiting with us and we are having a great time. One of the things I asked her to do was to catch me up with Macy's progress so we have been reading the journal entries this afternoon. I am so encouraged about the progress she has made. We love all the pics but the one we love most is where Ansley looks like she is whispering in Macy's ear,"Don't worry sister, no matter what they say God told me you're going to be just fine".
They are so cute and beautiful, They are looking more and more alike. We loved the Easter dresses.
Love, The Scotts

I'm so thrilled to hear about Macy's progress. She IS a fighter. Your fight, as parents, is STILL amazing to watch. Here you are, going on countless visits to the doctor, having to watch them poke and prick at your precious baby, and YOU'RE leaving US with an inspiring verse from the Bible. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Again, and always, I am moved, inspired, and BLESSED by your OBVIOUS faith and strength. THANK YOU!

I love praying for you all and for Macy, I love seeing how powerful prayer is and how God shows His love and healing through her and your family. We will pray for her developmental milestones. I am sure that she will reach them, with the support that she has at home, she can't miss! Summer, thank you for that verse. I really needed that today. You all mean a great deal to us and we will continue to pray for healing and wellness for Macy, Summer & Layton as parents, and for Ansley as a sister, and for all the rest of your family as you live each day through this.

I am so excited that nothing needs to be done to correct Macy's heart valve at this time. This will give her time to grow and get stronger - so that when/if something does need to be done in the future she will have an easy recovery period. She is such a miracle. I'm so thankful for you guys - the LORD does work in wonderfully mysterious ways.
Give Ansley a big kiss from Sammy and tell her we hope to play with her soon.

Macy is so adorable and she looks like she is excited about what is going on around her. Thank you for the update. I will be sharing with my prayer partners and we will be lifting up all of you knowing that GOD is in the process of making Macy perfect in everyway. Blessing and courage as you continue on with the day to day of dealing with the demands of having two little ones, one who has very special needs. I know that it is a challenge to meet both girls needs. Caring for Macy and yet not overlooking big sis. I hope that all of you are doing well and that your mom is still in Dallas to help support and encourage you. Are Your parents still moving back to Nashville?
Your perserverace and faith is an inspiriation. Blessing of peace and strength.

Thanks for sharing your day-to-day story with us. Your family has experienced a lot, and your spirit shines through it all. In a few years, the difficulties will be a dim memory, and Macy's progress will be all that matters. Remember that medicine is more of an art than science, and doctors cannot predict everything. It sounds as though Macy has her own ideas about what she can accomplish!
Praying for you daily.

So glad to hear that Macy is back home. Summer, I sat next to Layton at one of our sales meetings in New Orleans (before Macy was born) and the first thing he did was pull out a picture of your older daughter to show to me. Being a mom, I was so tickled to see a Dad so proud of his little girl. Make sure he has more to bring to the next meeting. They are both so beautiful...I do think Macy looks a little like her Dad. We will continue to keep you in our prayers!

Macy continues to amaze me, God has something special planned for that young lady. I know that everyday is a challenge for your family but always remember that your future is in God's hands and who better to be in control. I'm sure Ansley was as excited as you were to get Macy back home. May God continue to watch over and bless you as he sees you have need.

My husband and I have been fortunate enough to be included in the long list of people praying for little Macy because of our friendship with Becky & Lou Jones (Roseville, CA). Periodically, I review Macy's website to see how she is doing, and our heartfelt prayers go out to all of you that you might find ongoing strength and peace in our Lord, Jesus Christ to get you through one day at a time. We pray that Macy endures minimal pain, that all of you get some deserved rest, that your stay in Texas is short, and for Macy to be home and back in your arms soon. Today, we are also passing this site onto our bible-study group, friends and family to also lift Macy up in their prayers as well.

I am glad to have knowledge of what has been happening in your lives, to see the hand of God at work is always an encouraging thing.

You are a true testament to the power that is available when we lean entirely on the Father and trust Him for our strength, energy, and happiness. Thank you for being an encouragment to the two of us! We want you to know that we have caught ourselves up on all the info. through the website and we will commit to becoming prayer warriors on your behalf as well.

We are all still praying and thinking about you here in Kenentt. I loved looking at the pictures. Both of your girls are absolutely beautiful! Having two kids is draining enough, but I know that all of the doctor's visits add to your stress. We will continue to pray that Macy gains strength with each passing day, and that God grants you the strength and courage to deal with the daily activities that go on. Our prayers are constantly with you.
Love, Tonya Sando

Hi,
My name is Kimberly Freeman. I got your name and story from Peggy Ghrist. I have a "miracle" baby that was born on April 2, 2003. She has a few of the same problems and a few different ones. My baby (Hope) was not supposed to make it at all. They gave us no hope, but we prayed and tried to stay very positive. She had open heart surgery at two days old and stomach surgery at nine days old. She also has a narrow aortic valve and a hole in the heart. She has asplenia (no spleen - which fights infection), her stomach is on the opposite side, as well as her liver and her heart is midline. I wanted to write you to let you know that prayer is why we have our Hope and why she is doing so well. I would like to give you my phone number if you ever need anyone to talk to about our very special babies. Your baby is adorable. I will keep her, as well as your family, in my prayers. My phone number is 817-491-3555. By the way, our Hope is doing great and they don't see any future plans on surgery. She was supposed to do the Norwood surgeries initially as well. For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord... a plan to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 Our family lives by this verse. God bless you.

I want you to know that even though I am just across the street - I still love reading Macy's website and reading the guestbook entries. Macy has touched so many lives - it is just unreal!!! I loved holding her for the first time last week - and I hope to hold her many more times . She is so small and yet has impacted my life in a way that you cannot believe. (I also loved getting to know Ansley better - maybe she will stay with us soon to play). You two, and your family have been an inspiration for me that I am just absolutely thankful for. I see the Lord's work through you so much - I hope you can see that too!!
Your faithful neighbor,

It must have been so frightening watching Macy have to experience choking on her formula.It sounds like you both did a marvelous job handling the situation and hopefully it will be something you will never have to go through again. I am thrilled to know that she is growing and smiling. That makes me smile and my heart feel such joy. I will continue to pray for all of you and I think of you often.

Just wanted you to know we continue to pray for you daily. I loved the New Years pictures -with one exception - Macy seemed to be favoring Turner over Preston.(no offense Luke & Paige) She appears to be leaning on his shoulder. You need to remind Miss Macy that she is already betrothed!!! All kidding aside, we are so thankful that Macy is home where we can all love on her. Which reminds me, I haven't gotten to hold her since before Christmas. It's my turn!!!!

Layton and Summer,
I grew up in Russellville and I can't remember not knowing Lyndal and Loretta. We went to Harding together and then lived in West Memphis. You may have even heard the story about me wrecking their car the week before they got married! We moved away from WM before Layton was born. Our daughter, Elizabeth, is married to Paige Strawn's brother, Lane Andrews. We have been keeping up with your family since before Macy was born. We pray God's continued blessings on your and your family. We are inspired by your faith and sense of peace. I'm so glad that Macy is at home.
Love to all the Dale family,

May God Bless each of you as you journey through this difficult but blessed time. I, too, have walked in your shoes with a "special child", that God sent us. Many years ago our child was a first born and lived just a short six months. I have always believed that the Lord sent her to us for a blessing, because she changed our lives in a way that a normal child would never have been able to do. Your strength comes through faith in a loving Father, and He knew that you both would be up to the task of caring for this particular one of His own. Our prayers are with each of you.

Layton,
I saw your mother Wed. night and found out about your beautiful baby, Macy. Believe me, Macy is truly an angel from God. You see my heart has been so... heavy with grief this past month and reading about your lil' angel Macy and the love and faith you and your wife share is an inspiration to all and has given me a new strength. I know things happen in our lives and we may not understand why it happened, but we have to stop and remember that God does. You see, I'm Bubba Deen's mother, needless to say, his sudden death has been so unbearable at times, but I try to stop and count my blessings, one of which I'm so thankful to have had Bubba for 25 years and now the precious memories of him, so please cherish every minute of everyday with your sweet angel and know that she a blessing to all. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. May God continue to be with you and your family always, especially, during these difficult times.

What a precious, darling blessing from heaven! Jason, Sophia and I look forward to meeting your newest little angel. We pray earnestly for you all, for comfort, peace that surpasses all understanding, and joy amidst these most difficult trials. "For ALL things work together for good for those who love the Lord and are called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28 Seek and claim that goodness, peace and joy that the God of all Mercies is showing you now. We also pray that God is providing an army of angel warriors to surround you and protect physical bodies and health, and your hearts, souls and minds from the evil one.
Much love to you.

Hi Summer and Layton. I met you last Thursday night at CMC. I know (from experience) that you see a lot of people come and go out of your room so you might not remember me. I am a volunteer in the ICUs. Just wanted to say that your strength and faith touched me. God has great things in mind for all of you and it is good to meet a young family that is in tune with Him. Guess I won't see you tomorrow night at the hospital - but that is a good thing. I am happy that Little Macy is home with you (and I know she is happy about that too). I will keep you all in my prayers. That you for sharing your web page with me. God Bless you all. Linda

Layton,
When I first came to Harding back in 97, I was looking for role models. You were an easy pick. Now, you are going through something that more people will go through in the future and they will look at you and Summer and will mirror how you guys are handling this situation. God has answered many prayers recently with my Mom and Dad's health. This same God is watching over your family right now as well. Take comfort in him and let him use your beautiful Macy as his tool. We all love you guys and thousands of prayer warriors are talking to our Lord every day on your behalf.
Love,
Eric Johns

What a precious little girl and what a precious family. Sometimes things happen in our lives that we do not understand and, as heartbreaking as things may be, we have to let God take care of it, and he works it all out. Sometimes it's hard to remember that God doesn't give you more than you can handle. Layton, we just love your family here in West Memphis so much and they are such an encouragement to us. Savor every moment with your precious little gift and know that you are in our prayers.

It is simply amazing to me to look at the vast areas that this situation has brought together. How reassuring to know there are so many believers, and that so much of their prayer power is focused on your family. You have been an inspiration to me; your faith and spirit are incredible. I know that no words can truly comfort your family so I will continue to share my words of prayer with the Lord.

Layton and Summer, you and your entire family are in our prayers. I would like to share something that I have on my bulletin board that was shared with me. God did not promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain. But he did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way.------If God brings you to it.....He will bring you through it. I hope this thought gives you some comfort. We love you and are praying for you.

Layton and Summer,
I just wanted to take a minute of your time to share a verse that has helped me through many troubling times:
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6 It is obvious that you are both trusting fully in Him and I am assured that He will direct all of your paths because that is His promise. Stay strong! You are a blessing to us all. We will continue to pray for your strength, wisdom, peace and comfort for your precious baby. In Christian Love, Becky Adams and family

Dear Dale family,
My name is Natalie Stricker. Marti told me about your sweet daughter Macy. Please know that my prayers are with you. I have a first hand knowledge of some of the things you are going through. My daughter Kennedy was born Sep. 11, 03 with a diaphramatic hernia. She spend 24 days in Cooks childrens hospital and 19 of those days on ECMO. She went to be with God on Oct. 5th. I know how dificult is being at the hospital day in and day out. But don't give up hope. I can't tell you how many babies we saw and prayed for that the doctors said had no hope of living that went home with their parents. Macy is beautiful and she is a daughter of the God most high. He is watching over her. I pray that He will heal her so that she can be home with you soon. Continue to run to Him and He will give you the strength you need to get through.
In Christ,
Natalie Stricker ><>

I just got off H.U.'s Alumni website and read your link. I am truly touched by your story. I can't imagine the trials and inquiries that have been a part of your life this past month. I do believe, as cliche as it may seem, that things happen for a reason. God has an ultimate plan for you and your family, as questionable as that may seem. You must know that you two are special people to be trusted with such a gift from God. It is clear that He believes in you and knows that this child will be loved, comforted and cared for, by you. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care of each other.

I love you all so very much and looking at the pictures that mom took this past weekend make me miss you all more than ever. The unknown of this whole situation must be so frustrating, and the faith that is sustaining you remains so strong. For that I am eternally glad and incredibly humbled.

Dear Marcy and other loved ones of Baby Macy,
I am mother of Cathy whom you knew at Texas Women's University. My prayer is that God keeps your faith strong and your trust complete as you stand guard with prayer vigil over the gift of life, given by our creator for
the glory of God.
The doctor who delivered me announced to the family that I was born dead. I was grey and lifeless as Mother almost died. Now 62 years later I am high functioning as I use my gift of creativity to compensate in areas that are
challenging for me. I still teach school and work long hours to help children learn.
Our God is on his throne with a heart for healing. Praise His Holy Name. Blessed be the Name of the Lord.
Blessings on you dear believers,
Jan

I read about precious Macy's on Harding's Alumni Digest. I was at Harding during the time you were there, but did not either of you personally. My thoughts and prayers are certainly with you during this difficult time. As a NICU social worker at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, I work with families each and every day who are facing the same extraordinary struggles you face now. I share the triumphs and disappointments with parents every day, and I pray that God will continue to grant you strength and comfort. God is the ultimate Healer and the Great Physician and through him I pray that He will continue to give Macy and your family healing comfort.

It may seem easy for us to write and tell you not to lose faith but the truth is that we have no clue what else to say. No words can express how troubled we are for you. We want to give you all the strength we have in us and God will give you all He has. You both know how powerful prayer is.

How amazing it must be to be blessed with such a beautiful angel of GOD, sent to touch the lives of people near and far. So sweet and innocent and she doesn't even know that GOD has used her to bring so many Christians around the world in unity. I can't even begin to imagine what it is like for you as parents to experience such a trial. Your picture glows with your faith and trust in Christ and your strength radiates. What a testimony you are for so many people. You are a reminder that through HIM all things are possible! Everyone is placed on Earth to glorify God and share HIS love. Macy has already done more living for Christ in a few weeks than most "Christians" do in a lifetime. You all are such an inspiration. Just remember everything is on GOD's time and not our own. You were placed in my life for a reason beyond human knowledge and have made such an impact on me. I will continue to keep you & your family in my thoughts and prayers. I will also continue the flow of GOD's love threw Macy and tell others your story.

Sometimes HE brings struggles and pain into our lives that at the time, we can't believe, but soon we see that he brought the rains in order for us to grow and for HIM to be glorified. You are showing how GOD wants us to lean on HIM, and you have also taken Macy's health to HIM in love and concern. I am proud to be your brother in CHRIST, and I will lift you and your family up to GOD every time I go to HIM in prayer. I pray for comfort, strength, understanding, and a peace that only HE can provide. GOD bless you. You are a beautiful family.

How special you must be, to be given this special gift from God. He has trusted you with something very unusual and you are making Him very proud.

What a blessing that your family has the Lord in such times of difficulty. Remember that God is not only allowing these trials, but will also give you blessings.

Romans 8:28, 31-32: And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose....
What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all--how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
God is for you and so are we. Loving and hurting for yall.

May God bless you through this time of trials. We have been praying for your strength and the strength of your little angel. Our little girl was born 10 weeks early and was in the NICU for 6 weeks. For every one step forward we experienced, there was always two steps back in her progress. I pray for the staff caring for Macy that they have wisdom and compassion. Macy will continue to be in our prayers as well as your family. May you feel God's everlasting love around you.

Layton, Summer, Ansley and Macy,
First off, Macy is a beautiful little girl. I only got to spend 20 minutes with her and I instantly fell in love with her. My heart hurts for you and your family during this time. It brings into perspective the miracle of life and how much of a blessing every day is with our children. Your faith during this time humbles me. God doesn't always make sense to us, but knowing He is in control is a comfort. We may never know why all this has happened, but we do know that one day, we will all be made perfect in Heaven. My family will continue to pray for Macy fervently, as will our church (and every other believer who will listen to me when I tell them how wonderful your family is)! We love you guys so much.

God is amazing because he brings people into your lives at different times for different reasons. Despite her suffering, I am greatful for the opportunity to take care of her. She is so beautiful. You are both incredible parents who I commend!! Never hold your head low, for God is using you to take care of this sweet angel during her days on Earth.
I am praying for each of you during these hard times. I can not imagine being in your shoes, but you have done it with such dignity and strength, which I truly admire.

I have had family and friends praying for you all and little Macy since before she was born and we will continue to keep you in our prayers.
God Bless you all.

As so many have said, you don't know me, but Loretta Dale is a special, special person to me. She asked this afternoon that I pray for her grandaughter. In the hour that I have known about this, this precious angel has touched my heart so deeply. What a beautiful, beautiful little girl. I can only hope and pray that God will answer all our prayers and Macy will have a long, happy life. I pray that will be the Lord's will in her life. I pray for strength and comfort for you as you struggle through each day. It's so terribly hard sometimes to understand why things happen the way they do, but there is one thing that you must understand - hundreds and hundreds of people have been touched by your story and they will be praying for you.
Many, many more will learn about this gift from God and they will pray, as well.
I have already sent all my e-mail friends a note about Macy.
God bless you and keep you, now and always,
Nancy Alexander

Donna has been sharing photos and updates with us since Macy arrived. Please know that we have all been right there with you, praying to God to give your entire family the strength and courage that you need to continue the wonderful, loving care you have been giving to Macy. We have a newborn of our own, and my nine year old said the other day (in the most sincere voice) "Isn't it a miracle? Out of all the thousands of people in the world, God chose us to take care of Hayden." I feel that way about you and your family. Your love and support of Macy has shown so many others the tremendous spirit of God and reminded us all just what's important during our stay on this earth. We should all be so lucky to have parents like you. We love you dearly.

I know your heart is heavy but as a good friend of mine who is fighting brain cancer says, "God is good always - He is always good!!" No, we can't always understand why things happen as they do, but even though we may be confused, He is not. God bless all of you and I pray that He will bless you with understanding and peace.
Blessings always,

Summer & Layton, Mandy has been keeping us up to date on everything that you have endured over the past month. Summer, I (Jamie) met you a few times at Harding, I knew Melissa (Vincent) Gower from Louisiana (I think that's how we met). I know that God has a plan for Macy right now. Everyone's prayers will keep your hearts strong and able to endure. I worked as a Pediatric ICU nurse for a year out in Denver. We did Norwoods quite a bit. If you have want any more information on it let me know. It's an amazing procedure. You would not believe how much those little bodies can endure if that's what they need. I've seen many families go through what you are going through and their children have done great. If Macy does need this surgery, she will do great too. God has already made obvious miracles happen in Macy's life, and I'm sure there are more to come. And she (and you both) will be so much stronger because of it. Macy will never doubt that God is living in her and she has incredible things to accomplish in her little life. She will be an amazing child for God!

Hold fast to your faith and know that Macy will be more than a miracle in her birth, but a miracle in her life as well. "I can do all things through Christ who strenthens me." Not only do I pray for healing for Macy, but I pray for a peace that surpasses all understanding for you and your family. In Christ.

Summer, Layton, Ansley, and Macy...you are constantly in our prayers. Thank you for sharing the details of Macy's health situation with all of us, even those who are far away from you. We agree that God is watching over you all and is blessing you richly through this beautiful little girl. We can't wait to meet her in person! We love you all.
