Amazing that I decided to check this page today, I see that it was only 5 years ago that Madi had her transplant. I will say a special prayer for Austin on this anniversary. Madi must be decorating the most glorious tree in heaven. May God bless your family this holiday season.

Thinking of you today. I know the rest of the Angels planned a wonderful birthday party for Madi in heaven today and she is dancing, running and playing with them all. I think about Madi everytime I look down at my bracelet and many times I talk to her while I am sitting in the Houston traffic(she keeps me calm). She will always be with us. Love you all.

I was thinking of Madi the other night before bed. I closed my eyes and pictured her with big angel wings and she had many many bracelets on both her arms and ankles!
I got tickled and laughed out loud. I guess Madi's blinging up heaven.

Dear Karen and Brown Family,
Watching those kids on stage at the High School plays having so much fun made us all feel like kids again. I do not know why some have to travel on a more difficult path to get to Heaven but I do know that when Madison arrived there was a party and some type of play where she played the main character never missing a line or a part. Her show will go on! Riya sends you her love and I will always smile when I think of Madison. There is no way not to...she touched so many lives. We love you all! Colleen and Riya Tyagi

God looked down and saw how very precious Mattie was and the pain she endured and took her up to Heaven as an inspiration for us all. She was not able to take her family, but she is there protecting and guarding your every moment. Know she will never leave our hearts, and will be in every prayer. What an awsome family of faith and love, that has taught us with God you can endure what ever he gives you. May God bless each of you.

Blessings to the Brown Family:

When we lose someone we love, it seems that time stands still. What moves through you is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, you may not understand why your daughter left this earth so soon, or why your daughter left before you were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, you will begin to remember not just that she died, but that she lived. And that your daughter's life gave you memories too beautiful to ever forget.

Madi is an inspiration to us all -- I stand in admiration of her strength and love of her family and of life.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in this very difficult time.

"God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be
so he put his arms around you
and whispered,
Come to Me.

With tearful eyes we watch you
and saw you pass away
and although we loved you dearly
we could not make you stay.

A Golden heart stopped beating
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove us
he only takes the best"

Dear Madi, Big Brother , Mom and Dad, Although I weep today with so many others, I am filled with gladness that you are in Heaven with God and all the other children, grown ups and my own family members who were saving you a place! You indeed were a brave girl and your family are Super Heros! I was privileged to meet to meet and care for you and your family at the beginning for your journey and after your transplant when you were at home. You are all terrific and have given a gift to others of lighting a path down into a unknown forest and demonstrated God's grace by sharing and teaching how to "be" to the world community. God bless you and keep you all the days of your lives.

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with your family, friends and loved ones. I am one year working through the grief of losing my son.

Dayton, TX - Sunday, May 23, 2010 1:44 AM CDT

I just learned of your daughter's journey through a friend on facebook. I am so glad she got her wish today. When my dad died I was 25, and at first, I thought I was "too young to lose him" because of "all those years" it would be before we were reunited in heaven. I now realize that once there, "all those years" will seem like the blink of an eye, as it will for you when you see Madi again. What JOY there is in FAITH! Thank you for your courage and faith. It deepens mine as I prepare for my own daughter's BMT next month. God bless you and your family.

Oh Madi, we are so happy that you are no longer suffering. You have been through so much here on this earth. The strength and courage you have shown us makes you are hero. I know all your loved ones (including your dog) were there to greet you.
Karen, before I even knew Madi had passed, we were outside and a butterfly was flying all around us. It actually sat on the end of my nose for a while. I immediately thought of Madi and knew she had passed. Thank you for sharing her journey with us for all these years. It let Madi be such a part of all of our lives. There wasn't a night that went by that we didn't pray her (and of course for you, Mike and Austin). We never know The Lord's plan, but heaven just received an AMAZING child and you and your family, just received an AMAZING Angel. We will never forget her!

God Bless You Sweetheart and we will pray for Mom, Dad and Austin. Rest now baby, your battle is over. I Love You !

Madi as I have very sad to let you go Mr. Mike told me that I was luckier than most to have gotten to love you so much. And that I got to talk to you on Sunday and tell you how much I love you and you loving me back. Every year we have Shane's b-day party you have always been on my mine each year and so glad God gave him to me on your birthday. Every year we will cont. to think of you on your birthday...however when you get to there and you see a pink balloons floating to heaven remember it for you from all of us. Mr. Mike said that just to think you will have good entertainment with Rusty Powers up there with you. Please tell him we said he is not to give you any RPPQ's. We love you very much but knowing you just want to dance again gives me strength in letting you go. Today Sarah and Shane are having dance recital and both are going to JUST DANCE just for you. We will always miss you but with that will always be better people because we loved you and you loved us back. I will cont. to pray for all of you.

You know, I've never written anything on here, i'm not sure why, but i've always read the updates and the guestbook. Madi, I remember when mama was pregnant with you. You were another beautiful blessing and another addition to my mom's babysitting gang :) I loved all of ya'll, but you and Austin held a special place in my heart. You would always beat me at Guess Who...even when I wasn't trying to let you win. I still have video of us dancing and singing to music in the living room. I'm playing the guitar on the broom, and you're singing into the end of it. You know, when I was going through my anxiety issues and everyday seemed like a hopeless battle, I want you to know that I looked up to you and admired your strength and courage. I would always say to myself, if Madi can get through all her treatments, then I can get through my days as well. I've never known a more sweet and beautiful person than you Madi. You were my first rodeo art project. It's in my closet right now. Not the perfect drawing, but the perfect subject. I hope to one day be as strong as you are. You and your family have been a huge blessing to me and my family. Don't be scared, God will take care of you. Soon, you won't be in any pain and the world will be more beautiful than you thought possible. I'm sure my grandma will meet you in Heaven. Give her a hug for me, I miss her so much. It'll be okay soon sweet girl. Praying for you now and always.

Hi Madi. I sure hope and pray you start sleeping better. I know that you need your rest.
Karen - we bought Karson one (she was a reddish/brownish color) about 5 years ago from a lady in Crosby. Her name is Beverly Wanke and she lives on Kennings Road. Her daughter, Sandra, has them too. I'm not sure of their phone number(s), but I'm sure they are in the phone book. Beverly used to work for CISD in the transportation department, but she's now retired. If you can't find her number in the phone book, maybe they could help you out with getting in touch with her. I'm sure Ms. Barron, Ms. Nixon or Ms. Slot would call her on your behalf and get her number for you. Hope it works out!

Hello Brown Family,

I know you met so many people at Madi's climb on Saturday, but one of them was my son, Michael! He was doing a little detective work for me as we could not come down! He said it was Awesome, amazing, overwhelming. He did not expect all of the people and events. I can't imagine all of the volunteers that made this happen. We ALL appreciate what they have done for Madi and all of you! Lots of hugs from Lipan.

Merry, merry Christmas to Madi, Karen, Mike and Austin!! We hope you have a lovely day at Grandma's house! We had a little Christmas "miracle" on December 23 when 14 in our family were out here in the woods visiting. Some exotic deer got loose back in October and two visited us for awhile, but we hadn't seen either of them in almost a month. Then Wednesday when the family was here, the larger one that we had named "Prince" came to visit on the St. Francis Trail! He looked majestic, with his tall horns, and our granddaughter Katie felt like she had a visit from one of Santa's reindeer! He stayed a good while and ate corn, so everyone got a chance to see him. We were thanking God for this very special Christmas blessing! Much Love to All, Cathey & Ervin Buchta

Hello Madi, Mike, Karen and Austin,

One of my new friends in Sunday School went back and read all of your journals after we had asked prayer for you. She was overwhelmed at your experiences and the concern you always express for others. You know the effect on water when you skip a rock?? That is how I envision the work of God in you life. The ever-widening swirl of His love and His desire for others to support you in prayer.
Always in our thoughts and prayers

Hello Madi, Austin, Karen & Mike
Thanks so much for the update on Madi and Austin. How exciting for Austin to place so well at the shows! We will pray for his wrist to heal quickly. It lightened our hearts to hear that Madi is getting good care on the 9th floor. Praying that the DR's will be able to discern which meds are causing this situation. As always, you remain on our hearts and mind. I gave a new friend of mine, Cheryl a "Madi" braclet. She was thrilled to get it. She is in our Sunday School class and always inquires about Madi. I just sent her a link to this web site so that she could see what was going on with the Brown family.

Hello Brown family,

Sounds like you have had a tough week. We had prayer for you in our Sunday School class this morning. Tell Madi I showed everyone the picture that her MawMaw took of us together. Now they have a picture in their mind of Madi when we ask for prayer...May you continue to be encouraged and strengthened in the Lord every day as you are an encouragement to all of us!

I just wanted to check in and tell you hello. I have been thinking about you. Hope your internet is still working. Ours goes in and out all the time with the Verizon DSL. It is so annoying to be in the middle of something and not have it work. Hope Austin is better and Karen hope you are better too. I went to see some of my HS friends from Dickinson a couple weeks ago and brought them some of your bracelets and told them about you Madi. THey loved the bracelets. Carol has been reading your posts and keeping up with you now.SHe is praying for you and even asked facebook friends to pray for you. You are touching so many people sweet one. She asked if you had more bracelets she may want some as gifts.
She is a nurse and actually did some training at Texas Childrens she asks about you all the time. So you have another friend, she is such a caring person. If you have some extra bracelets, let me know I am sure I can sell them for you.I had my red and silver one on at homecoming and someone asked if we were selling them. I told her not this one... but she could go to Laura's Cleaners and maybe get one.Saying extra prayers for you.

It seems like yesterday you and McKaylie were at the babysitter together. The kids in my homeroom will be so excited when I tell them. When you feel up to it, you come visit us any time. I can't wait to show you all the critters in the back of my classroom. Don't worry, you don't have to touch. We just like to observe them. I have a webpage link through the district website if you want to check out what we are doing in class.

I am so glad you got the test tubes out. Hopefully you can go home soon. I am sorry Austin isn't feeling well with the medication. Not a very nice thing to go through during your birthday. Maybe when everyone is home the four of you can relax and enjoy each other. I know i have said it before but it is worth repeating. Karen, Mike, Madi and Austin are the most amazing people I know I am blessed to know you. You are amazing as well as the whole Brown/Rucka clan. You are the inspiration and reminder of what true love of each other is and how much a family can bond. You are my heroes

Austin, please go slow and let yourself heal from the colonoscopy before you start football! You are more important than football! One of "Madi's ladies" at Nada e-mailed me back when she got your Mom's update yesterday, concerned about your starting football too fast before you are healed. Your Aunt Cheryl was asking about your birthday, and I noticed on my calendar that you and your Dad both have a birthday on August 17, with Grandpa Leo the following day.

Hey SweetPea!!! I love you, we are so proud of you, you did so well today you are so brave!!! Austin on the other hand had to be put to sleep Mom forgot to say if they found that kolache. :) He only ate about a dozen before he had to go on liquids. He probably wasn't being silly from the drugs that's just Austin and about losing 30+ pounds I found them and he can have them back anytime. I may have to start playing football. :( would I be defense or on the fence. HAHA Austin he knows I am not into the football like the Rucka/Brown guys. Uncle Randy and Daniel won't even let me in the same room when a game is on. By the way I owe you something for being so brave today. Think of something really good!! and let me know. I will bring it Sunday. I love you Sweet Pea very much!! o.k. Austin you too!! and I guess I will buy you something for going through your procedure what would you like?? How's about a cup of chicken broth:):)

Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you this morning and ask for your divine intervention in Madison's situation. I ask that your crown of favor be placed over the Brown family and those doctors that are eager to take care of Madison in the best possible way for her. I ask that you deliver Madison from all of her pain and that you renew her physical body and spirit. You are mighty and your are full of grace and I ask that you extend your grace to the Brown family today. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

My Dear Friends in Christ, Another set back for Madis' lung surgery. She didn't have it today. The surgeons said the meds. that they were going to do, couldn't be done. They have been telling Mike & Karen they could do this & that 4 different times. They haven't been honest with them. Now they just want to sedate Madi with morphie for the surgery. So, no lung surgery tomorrow. Praying for A Miracle. Love & Prayers, Maw Maw

Karen, we are praying for all to have wisdom to help Madi. You don't have to allow the doctors to do the painful lung surgery, especially since the GVHD continues to cause problems in spite of all they do. A patient has the right to refuse extreme treatment. They should be working to alleviate her current pain rather than creating more! We are holding you all very close in our hearts & prayers! Cathey & Ervin Buchta

Since my Mother lost her battle to cancer I have been out of touch, but always think about Madi and what a brave little girl she is. God bless her and all those wonderful Drs and nurses at MDAnderson. We sure loved them and the care they provided Mom. Hang in there kiddo, thinking and praying for you often.

Hey, Brown Family. I got up really early because all 3 of our hunting dogs got out of the yard to go hunting in Newport. One woke me up trying to get back in the fence. I don't know why our dogs can dig out but not get back in the same hole they just crawled through to get out. Ha! Anyway, I always check my email and your page when I get up and I just read the article! My mom sent it to me online. The people of Crosby know how special you are and now even more people know!

Karen, thanks so much for the update. I know this takes time, especially when you have so much to do after being at the hospital for over a week. I was able to run the update this morning and get it to most of the ladies at Nada who are praying for Madi, with just a few to mail. Two of the ladies I can send the updates to by e-mail. One came up to me after Mass this morning (Virginia Pavlovsky--she's the one who made the little coverlet for Madi last year and brought her the little gift from the Miraculous Medal shrine this year)and said in a joyful voice, "She's home!" Madi stays close to us all in our hearts and prayers! Much Love, Cathey & Ervin

Madi - Alicia and I want to thank you for our special bracelets and card. You are amazing! You made our weekend!We both have worn it all this week! I saw Austin on Monday and almost stopped him in the hall and gave him a hug to give to you but figured he would think I had lost my mind! So, IOU a hug! Also, thank you for sharing your dad with us - he is such a great help with our pigs. We sure do appreciate him!
I wish I could make your pain go away. Hopefully, your doctors can figure out a good treatment for that pain. Bear hugs and butterfly kisses!
Love - Trish and Alicia <pfranta@crosbyisd.org>

Hello Madi, I just learned that you might have a new clinic neighbor...His name is Timothy Rose and he has just started his first round of steroids and chemo at Texas Children's. His parents are Marvin & Melinda Rose of Baytown and I believe his dad is a pastor at Garth Road Baptist Church. He has T-cell lymphoplastic lymphoma.

If you run into him, you can explain about your guest book and how God uses it to make your very own circle of friends.

Take care..Pam & Jimmy from Lipan

You are continually in our prayers and thoughts and we share your concerns and joys with our new Sunday School class here in Lipan TX. Had not heard how Austin did with his pig at the Expo. Wish he could show up here in Weatherford and then we would have an opportunity to purchase!!! If you ever decide on a road trip, just let us know. I am pretty sure that we can accomodate your needs! No reservation for you guys required at the Burton B&B! If you could count all the stars in the sky, you would know the wishes and prayers being sent your way!

I also have a pair of purple hightops I'm going to wear. I should look just gorgeous when I'm done! I hope your back is feeling better. Mom was telling me that your new chair needs some work on it so it won't cause you more pain. I hope they can get that taken care of real soon. Have a good day sweetie.....Mrs. Hardwick

I know you probably dont feel like doing anything with them now, but when you feel better you can get back to your business. I am so glad you are selling them at the cleaners now. I bought several before Ike for my neices, but I had to keep the red one and the one that looks like dalmation spots for me. They were all so beautiful I might have to keep them all and buy some more for them. Karen I know this has been a rough week for you too. I know its several weeks late but Happy Birthday to you Karen and aunt Cheryl... you too!

Good Morning,
I have a very funny story for you. Poor Shane wasn't adjusting to Kindergarten the 1st couple of weeks. Cried every morning didn't know what to do with him and then Ike hit.
I thought oh here we go again when he went back to school on Thursday. He got up did the morning thing.. got ready for school NOT one tear. Dropped him off Still nothing. Mind you I was prepared for the worst. When I picked him up I was telling him how proud I was of him and you know what he said?
I was waiting on my 1st hurricain so I could be big. And if we have another one I will start cring again. Right then and there I said a little prayer. Dear Lord please I prefer not to have to ever go through this again. But if we do, can it wait until he is out of Kindergarten?
Just thought I would share the life I live with this crazy little 5 year old.
XOXO

I just got off the phone with Karen. She wanted everyone to know that they do have power. No internet. Please pray for Madi. She has been in lots of pain. Her pain has been keeping her up until 3 and 4 a.m. Please also pray for Weston Zucha who is having dental surgry today. Because of his E.B. the Dr's were not sure if they would be able to remove the tooth. Please pray that his skin will not be damaged while they are performing the surgery. Thank you!!

I was so glad to hear that y'all made it thru the hurricane and are all safe ! I feel very lucky that my home took no damage at all and just branches and mostly cleaning up the yard. I stayed at my son's home and he was well prepared with a generator, food and water supply and the whole house was boarded up. I spent most of the time there until I got power back. I got my power back last Friday and only was without for 6 days. The Lord took care of all of us with the cooler weather that came thru last week. I know the Lord will take care of you also, Madi. You are in my prayers everyday. Luv to all, Jan Swendsen

Hey Brown Family,
Wanted to let you guys know we made it through Ike ok. The roof has to replaced. Also, we have a very large dog house in the back yard that took 5 men to put back there and the winds got so high that it picked up the dog house and where did it land... ONTOP of the A/C unit. Blahh! Thanks for the info on the A/C company it will come very handy. we do have power back but no A/C. The adjustor came out and said it could take up to 2-3 weeks for the ins. company.
Glad to hear you guys are doing good.

Hi Madi, I received one of your bracelets in the mail this week from a very good friend of mine. Apparently, my friend's sister bought your jewelry at a recent silent auction. so, i guess once she found out about you, she oredered some more. I LOVE my bracelet and the fact that it was made by such a loving person just adds to it. My bracelet has big silver beads, and I wear silver every day!! I am very sorry to hear that you are feeling bad and have a type of cancer. That is very sad, however, God is with you always. Take a look at Romans 5:3-5 New International Version (NIV)
3 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

I would like to order more bracelets from you for my friends and to share your story.

You are a very adorable and strong little girl.

Hi Madi and family,

My nieces (Jennifer and Jeana Lewis) were the owners of the Growing Garden and recently told me the story of this amazing little girl named Madi. I commented on one of the bracelets they were wearing. Well, I just had to have some of those, so their mom, Julie Lewis went and bought me a whole bunch of them and gave them to me last week. I've printed your beautiful picture off of the website with your amazing and couragous story and I'm giving a bracelet to all of my girlfriends to wear. As they admire their new bracelet, I'm asking them to say a special prayer of healing for you! Keep making them on the days when you feel good - I'll bet more will be gone soon! Love, Ms. Gina

Our thoughts and prayers are being sent out to the Dugan Family. Sorry haven't wrote you guys sooner. Wanted to let you know Shane had to have emergancy surgery on his hand this last Tuesday. He had a major accident and hurt his pinky on his right hand. He is doing better but won't know much until we see the doctor this next Tuesday. We are hoping and praying he will have full function of his pinky finger when it heals. They say it could take about 6 weeks to heal most of the way. Just in time to go to Kindergarten.
So glad to hear you are did better this week Madi. I needed good news!!

Morning pickles, Maybe knowing the gene is there will help the Dr.s find something else that will work better on you (I hope). I hope Austin feels better real soon maybe some medication will do wonders. It's a crazy week here I hope yours is calmer with less pain. Take care sweetie, Love Mrs. Hardwick

I HAVE RESIDENTS I TAKE CARE OF THAT ARE 80 YEARS OLD AND THEY CRY ALL THROUGH PT TOO, I TELL THEM THEY'RE STILL BLESSED THAT THEY ARE HERE TO BE ABLE TO DO PT AND THAT IF I COULD I WOULD DO IT FOR THEM, ONE OF THEM STOOD UP AND SAID "THERE - BE MY GUEST" POINTING AT THE CHAIR.

Hey Madi!!

Just wanted you to know that meeting you Saturday was the most profound and touching experience of my week. It's funny how we adults get caught up in the small stuff of everyday life that really in the grand scheme of things mean nothing, and it takes a sweet little angel like you to remind us of the many blessings we all take for granted everyday. Know this, I , my mom and our prayer group and many of our friends are lifting you up in prayer. Continue to fight the good fight and know that you are blessed to have a loving and faithful family surrounding you. Tell your Mom, Grandma and Aunt it was a pleasure to meet them and we have all of you in our hearts and prayers!!

God Bless!!

Hang in there Madi. I will continue to pray for your pain to subside. I am so glad that your therapy is helping with your tightness. Alicia had a great time at your special fun run yesterday at school. The weather is beautiful today. I hope you are able to enjoy even a little bit of it! I know seeing sunshine always makes me feel a little better. Bear hugs and butterfly kisses.

CROSBY, tx usa - Saturday, April 19, 2008 9:57 AM CDT

Oh,Madi, we are so sorry to hear that you are hurting so much, but it is good news that the physical therapy is helping with the tightness. I guess you are going through what the atheletes do when they have heavy workouts--they say, "No pain, no gain," because they hurt as they work out (and afterwards)to build up their strength. It is still so hard to hear that you are suffering. Just know that we always keep you close in our hearts and prayers! Much Love, Cathey & Ervin Buchta

Karen,
What great news Madi is doing better. I have not been on the computer much because of going back and forth to therapy with my mom. She is doing really well and it was sweet of you to mention her. (As usual you are always thinking of others when you have so much going on.) The prayers have worked and she is working very hard to recover. She is praying for you too. I told her maybe she needs to take up making bracelets to help recover some of her coordination, maybe you can give her a few hints. She was having a little trouble getting past a four step color pattern I am sure she would think making a bead pattern for a bracelet was much more fun than making a pattern with colored golf tees in a foam board. ( hey sounds like a visual for kindergarten step patterns ha ha )Karen, my sister is going to save the grapefruits off her tree for you. Within the next week or so they should be ready.I am praying extra hard for all of you. I think about you alot!
Love ya'll

Madison, I just wanted to let you know that I pray for you everyday. This is Bubba, Kathe's husband. You also need to know that you are an inspiration to me and your strength is unmatched. I can't tell you how lucky I am to have met you and look forward to seeing you again. Sorry that I had to leave Renae's wedding a little early because I wanted a dance too. Daniel was the lucky man that day. Just keep fighting and I will keep praying for the day that you can walk up to other children and let them know that you can beat this. We love you very much and let me know when you make some more bracelets.

Hi Madi, This is Linda Haseman again. I am the Sunday School teacher from Our Shepherd that has been praying for you. I just wanted to let you know that I am also a substitute teacher at Crosby High School and today during 3rd period when we had the moment of silence I prayed for you. If I sub tomorrow I will pray for you again during the moment of silence. Hopefully, some of my students will join in and we can get more to join in the next day and so on. Keep the faith, prayers really work. I'm happy to do it and the more kids that join in the better. I have 6 boys and girls in my Sunday School class that I'm going to recruit too.
God bless you and keep you and may his face shine upon you and give you his peace.

Madi,
I'm glad to hear no surgery & hope the new chemo is the answer. Aunt Nancy is making me laugh so hard with her GIANT pill comments I may pee my pants. That would not be fun considering I'm at work!!! You know the Mary Poppins song "a spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down", I'm thinking mom should agree to Easter candy after each pill (wink-wink, I'm sure it's worth a try anyway!). Feel better soon cousin, you are in my thoughts and prayers daily.

What exciting and awesome news that the Graph vs Host can barely be found! Yes, prayers do work! We just got back from the healing service at Nada (they have been having one a week for 9 weeks, and as part of the service everyone chants the Divine Mercy Chaplet before the Eucharist) and were delighted to see a parishioner back home after weeks away for cancer surgery and treatment. The parish has been praying intensely for him. We asked them to add Madi's name to the intercessions a few weeks ago, so she is included, too! Much love to all, Cathey & Ervin Buchta

What great news to hear that Madi if off the TPN! It is always great to learn of progress. Actually the 9 hour novena is something a lady at Nada parish started awhile back when we had people in great need. She signs up people for every hour of a chosen day for 9 hours straight, and each hour at least one person (sometimes more) is praying to Jesus in His Divine Mercy for the person in need. Some are able to spend that hour before the Eucharist, if the day occurs Monday through Wednesday when we have Eucharistic Adoration at Nada; others pray at home; but the praying goes on for 9 hours straight! On October 13 we had 15 people praying that day for Madi, including Ervin and me. It was a blessing to participate and to be drawn closer to the Lord as we asked for His blessings for Madi!
Happy Thanksgiving to all! Much Love & Prayers, Cathey & Ervin Buchta

An angel you are. I'm sure you looked perfect in your costume. You are such a sweet girl, I'm sure everyone liked getting their candy from you. That sounds like a lot of fun. It's always fun to hand it out (instead of just getting it), because you get to see everybody's costumes.
Karen~ I know one day the Lord will give you "normal" again. I can't imagine what life must be like, but know that everyone is always praying for Madi, you, Mike and Austin. At Halloween, I always remember Madi, because that's when you left to take care of her. I would have done the same. Madi~ I'm wearing my red bracelet today (I have one for each outfit) and I've already had a compliment on it. They are all so pretty. We're thinking and praying for you always.

Madison, I know my Madison was so excited to see you at Newport!! She came home and told me all about your visit to school. I just know you will be back in school soon! Hang in there little one and know that you have so many friends and people out there praying for you that love you. Your always in our families thoughts and prayers. I check your page everyday or two to read your updates and see how you are doing. I've heard how beautiful your bracelets are and I'll be heading out to buy some with my Madison and Caitlyn (Caitlyn is in Mrs. Halls class right across from your moms class). As much as my girls love jewelery you need to keep making those bracelets because we may end up buying them all out! God bless!!

I finally made it to The Teapot Depot and boy was it worth the trip. Madi your bracelets are beautiful! And it sounds like your jewelry is quite the hit there. Maybe you should consider a career as a jewelry designer...we can all say we knew you when!

I'm so happy you got to see your friends. I bet it was fun for them to see you as well. We'll pray that you're back in school soon! Take care.

With all you are going through, you always ask for prayer for others, and I can feel the urgency and compassion for others in your writing.

Highlands, TX USA - Wednesday, October 10, 2007 2:41 PM CDT

To all Madi's friends:

Since Madison is not mobile, but can use her hands she makes lovely bracelets which are for sale at the Teapot Depot in Highlands. Mike, Karen, Austin and Madi have had quite a rocky road to travel and have been an inspiration to many of us for their strength, faith, and courage.

All of us have Madi in our thoughts and prayers and want to help out in any way we can, so I am sharing this information with you. There is an account at Crosby State Bank that anyone can contribute to if they want to and/or are able. The account is in the name of MIKE D. OR KAREN BROWN. YOU MUST PUT THE D. AFTER MIKE. To do this, simply enclose the check and a note with the above names listed (Mike D. or Karen Brown). The address for the bank is:

Crosby State Bank
P. O. Box 929
Crosby, TX 77532.
Atten: Tellers

I have gotten Karen and Mike's approval to let you know this and they are appreciative of everyone's prayers and love.

Please pass this information to anyone you know that might want to contribute.

Love,
Aunt Betty

Madi I heard you've become quite the little business woman...selling all your bracelets at The Teapot Depot this past weekend! It would be worth a trip to Highlands just to see your work. From what I've been told, the bracelets are beautiful and you've got a great eye for creating jewelry. Keep up the good work and remember we're praying for you!

Hi Madison! In addition to making jewelry for us, we may need to hire you to take care of Weston's garden in Webkinz World. He is so busy with school that it keeps dying. Rotten pumpkins, corn, and everything, just wasted!
OH, and have you ever tried a meatball sub from Subway? Weston tried one and was able to eat it (with a fork) and he has been loving them since this summer. Today we went to the Subway closest to our house and the lady said "6 inch meatball on herb and cheese bread?" I told him he has been eating too many sandwiches if the lady doesn't have to ask what he wants! She even remembered to give him a fork :) I hope you have a more comfortable weekend.

Hey, Madi, if you feel up to it I'll take 6 of those bracelets (one for each of the girls in my family!) When you get them ready, just have your grandma Lulu give me a call. By the way, I guess I better get your pricing list! Whatever, I still want the order. This may be the start of your own jewelry line, honey. Keeping you in our prayers, Aunt Betty and Uncle Jerome

Wasn't really expecting an update again so soon, but checked just in case. So sorry to hear the bad news about the pain from the meds., and possible feeding tube (let's hope they get around that), but the hopeful news was that the doctors are talking about WHEN they get the GVHD stopped, not IF and they are mentioning surgery to walk again, not saying there is no chance, and Madi was eating pizza! Just keep focusing on the positive--you have all come so far! And the rest of us will keep on praying! Bunches of love, Cathey & Ervin Buchta

I hope this week has been better to you. This weekend we took our Girl Scout troop camping. Sarah said it was Heaven on Earth. We didn't relize it until we got there but they had put in an AC unit this summer. We were very surprised. We are so used to roughing it that this was a cake walk. Hope you feeling better soon.

So sorry to learn that the GVHD is still hanging on; had so hoped the biopsy would show it was finally gone for good; but the ray of hope is that, if therapy continues, maybe Madie will be walking again like the rheumatologist had said she would. Glad to hear she won't have to have 4 shots a week, and will be praying all will go well with the news meds. and the antibiotic. Congrats to Austin on winning the ball game and hope his sore throat has cleared. We send lots of love and prayers to all! Cathey & Ervin Buchta

Hello Brown Family! Just wanted to drop a line and send you some bear hugs and butterfly kisses along with some prayers!

It's nice to hear that the aqua therapy is helping and Madi is enjoying it. We will say extra prayers that you get plenty of sleep for the beginning of a new school year adn that God will give you strength to do what it takes on the job and at home.

*Hi Madi,*
I hope you get better soon. I just got all new bedroom furniture and I can't wait for you to spend the night with me! I went to Space Center Houston and the Circus last week. They were both fun. I got about 5 inches cut off of my hair and highlighted. It looks good. I hope we can go to the movies again real soon. I have almost a month left until school starts again so maybe we can see eachother very soon. I'll keep praying for you.

Okay, Madi. I just found out that Marley and Taylor need your name and number to be your "friend" on Webkins. They can do all kinds of things, like clean your room for you and buy you groceries. Crazy. Anyway, if you want to be their friend, e-mail us your info at sixclan@verizon.net. Thanks!
Kelley Hofmann <sixhclan@verizon.net>
Crosby, Tx USA - Tuesday, July 10, 2007 7:21 PM CDT

Madi,
Marley has Webkins, too. She loves them. And they are, apparently, like "My Space" where your animals can get e-mails from animals belonging to your friends. I will tell her to e-mail you. I don't know how to do it but I'm sure she does. She will be excited about this. Sometimes thieves come and steal her animals' possessions (Taylor Jackson). Hopefully that won't happen to you. Or maybe you have good homeowner's insurance! You're always in our prayers!

Garret has a horse named "Spike" that sleeps in a bed (and eats hamburgers). He got his for his birthday also. I'm glad you have something fun to keep you busy. We're praying for you girl!

It is so good to hear such great news! We'll be praying for the doctors to have the wisdom to know how to keep Madi going forward. I've noticed since she started the IL-2 shots that she seems to go only forward, except for the vicious nausea, without the constant backward slides she had previously. We just have to keep sending up strong prayers! Love You All! Cathey & Ervin Buchta

I'm glad to hear you are finishd wth your shots. I hope you continue to feel better everyday. Ya'll are ALL always on my mind and in my prayers. I see so many families from the swim team that know you and they always ask about you. You are Crosby's most loved celebrity Princess Madi. I was going through some old photos and came across one of yor mom from water day when Bryan was in kindergarten. Of course Ms. Kayla is right there with her. Mom is pregnant with YOU. You were born not too long after that. Wow, hard to believe that was 9 years ago! Of course mom (and Kayla too) are just as pretty and young looking today.

Friends, Just in case you have heard a horrible rumor going around today, Madison is Fine. She has had her second shot today and has had a strenuous workout in physical therapy, but she is fine. Someone misinterpretated somethng in an email and started sending an email around saying Madison had lost this battle.Then, someone called the school and of course I immediately called Karen at the hospital. I have just spoken to Karen and is is not true. So, now that I can breath again, I wanted to let you all know not to panic. Karen asked me to give this update.

Madison, Taylor, Cash, Lance and I bought a special candle in your honor that we light each evening when we are eating dinner and we let it burn until bedtime. We all say a silent prayer for your strength and healing. As we go on about our night washing dishes, taking baths and doing homework we all think of you because the candle helps remind us to keep you in our prayers! Love, Lance, Julie, Taylor and Cash

Mike and Karin,
I don't know if you remember me but my name is Barbie. My husband, Brett Braud, worked with Mike at Exxon. I met you many years ago when Brett first hired on at Exxon. Over the years, Brett has often spoken of your family and the sicknesses that Mike and Madison and even your son have faced and I have kept you in my prayers. In more recent months, my prayers for you have begun to change. Brett had come home and informed me that Mike had to quit work because of the illness that He and Madi were dealing with. That day, I felt a burden for your family that I had never felt before in prayer, for anyone. This time as I prayed for your family, faith began to rise in me with every moment that I prayed for you. This same thing happened a few weeks later when I was in prayer for your family. The same deep burden as if it were happening to my own family and then this intense faith that Jesus Christ wants to do something mighty and powerful for your family. I don't believe this is a coincidence. I truly believe Jesus has something great in store for your family. I feel it as I type this email. I will continue to pray fervently for your family and I will have our church praying also. We attend Peace Tabernacle in Baytown. I want you to know that if you would ever like for some of the men in our church to come and pray with Madi and your family, I would be glad to come with them and pray with you. The Bible says in James 5:14-15: "Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church: and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him." We strongly believe this with all our hearts. Just last week, a 3 year old boy from our church who was diagnosed with Crohn's disease(I hope I spelled that right) when he was around a year and a half, has been completely healed of it. The doctor was so astonished that he wanted to know where the little boy attended church so he could come hear what we preached. The insurance company is now wanting to know how this child was healed of this incurable disease. Just know that the Lord has His hand on your family, why else would He put such a burden on a stranger's heart to pray for your family. If there is anything Brett and I can do for you besides praying please let me now by emailing me at bdbb123@hotmail.com. And like I said, please don't hesitate to call us if you want us to come pray with your family in person. We would be more than grateful to do so. Ephesians 3:20-21 says: Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. Our hope and prayers are with you, Barbie Braud

Dear Brown Family,

Praying for you all as always. We pray that the inter-luken 2 will enter Madi's body and in the name of Jesus that it will go in there and powerfully rebuild those cells that are missing and that they will form an army to overcome all the bad things that are going on there!!! In the mean time, praying that Madi will be able to rest and have relief from her pain and suffering. Thank you for sharing your story with us--it really makes me think about life and puts things in perspective. Madi is a little anget, and it's neat that she is able to bless others in spite of what she is going through. May God send angels to encourage her, too. God bless you all.

In this time of need, strengthen Madi. You are her strength and her shield; You are her refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. I know, Father, that Your eyes go to and fro throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts long for You. The body grows weary, but my hope is in You to renew Madi's strength.
She will not fear, for You are with her.
She will not be dismayed or overwhelmed, for You are her God. I know You will strengthen her and help her; that You will uphold her with Your righteous hand. Even as the shadows of illness cover her, let her feel the comfort of Your strength, O Lord.
Amen.
God Bless you lil' one and your entire family!

Karen asked me to give an update.
They were released from the hospital last night around 7:00 p.m. They had to go back to the emergency room at 10:00 p.m. last night because Madi's head was hurting. When Mike & Karen felt of her head it was soft and mushy. TCH did a cat scan and it came back fine. The fluid has built up in her head. TCH sent them back home early this morning. She is still in excruciating pain. Please keep them all in your prayers.

Thank you, Cheryl, for the update on Madi. I can't tell you what a huge sigh of relief I felt when we learned that Madi did not have to go through the dialysis. Praise the Lord for sparing her that extra suffering! Tomorrow is Divine Mercy Sunday and we hope to make the special service in the afternoon to pray to Jesus especially for Madi. Much love to all, Cathey & Ervin Buchta

To all our wonderful friends: Karen has obviously not had time to update. The doctors have given Madison large doses of lasix and it is working. Her kidneys are functioning and she is able to urinate. I do not have all the details, but she has not had to have the dialysis afterall, which of course is a blessing. Of course, she is not out of the woods, so she still needs your prayers and well wishes sent her way. Thank you for the love and support you continue to give.

All pain and sickness, hurt and tears, last only for a while. God's loving arms enfold you close, there's joy ahead, so smile. Take all your needs to God in prayer. Then trust, rejoice, and sing. For God has promised good will come from every hurtful thing. We are praying for you,

Dear Maddie,
I'm a friend of the Black family. I just read that you are feeling pretty crumbing today. We are praying for you! It is no fun being in the hospital. . . Find a nurse or Doctor or friend to bless and you will be surprised how fast it puts a smile on your face! I just love when God works through me for His glory. What an honor! Many hugs to you and your family! We will continue to pray for all of you! Blessings, The Bullocks

Hi Madison and Family,

Krystil and I were glad to finally meet you at TCH Clinic Thursday. We have heard a lot about you and been praying for you. Many of your friends on carepages have asked us to pray for you.

I'm glad you got to go to Austin with Brooke's family and be a part of everything. I'm sure everybody at the Capitol was glad to meet you.

I'm sorry to hear you had to go in the hospital, so we will keep you in our prayers and ask God to help you get better really soon.

I looked at your pictures too; you are a pretty girl!

Love & Prayers,
