You truly have an angel here on earth. I wish the best for all of you, but mostly that Allie's time here is as comfortable as it can be. She is a beautiful sweetie, and the world is a better place for her having been here. Thank you for sharing her story!

Jenny and Andrew,
May the memories of these days always bless and keep your hearts warm and full. You angel has touched so many lives in such a short time, she is a miracle! We truly are all better people for "knowing" Allie and your family.
You are always in our thoughts, thank you for sharing.

Dear Scott Family,

Words cannot express my sympathy for what your family is going through. I have followed your story (from babycenter.com) for about a month now & am so saddened by Allie's prognosis. However, having watched my mother die 2 1/2 years ago, I understand your desire to give your daughter peace and dignity. My boys miss their Grandma Jan a lot (they were 1 & 2 1/2 when she died, however my oldest does remember her!). I have faith that my mom is in heaven & will rock your dear daughter, like all good grandmas do! My mom joined a daughter in heaven, as well as her father. Allie is & will continue to be an angel to all of us! May God give your family peace!

*Allie*

Jenny and Andrew: I have read and re-read and re-read the posts from the past few days hoping I was reading wrong. I am truly deeply saddened that you have to go through this. But like you said, you are truly blessed as you have been given the opportunity to hold a real ANGEL. I have no words or song lyrics to offer you, just a deep love for three strangers. I wish you nothing but peace at this time in your life. I wish I could offer you a miracle. I'm glad that you have decided to celebrate her life. You two are truly amazing people to be able to share this most intimate part of your life with the world. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. I pray that Allie stays comfortable. Please kiss her for me. I wish I could meet her and hug her. Although I don't know her, I love her and I love you two strong, wonderful, spectacular people/parents as well.

I do not have any great words of wisdom for you, but I just wanted to let you know that I am praying really hard for your family! Your story has changed my life, and I will never forget you....especially that beautiful, sweat baby! I saw a stuffed giraffe at the store yesterday, and it instantly brought tears to my eyes! Thank you so much for sharing your story...HUGS, and GOD bless you all!! Love,

I am consumed by you all. I think of Allie constantly during my day. I hurt for you all. I wish there was a way to change this. You continue to be inspiring parents and human beings. You do have an angel on earth and for that you are incredibly lucky.
Thinking of you and sending love.
If you don't mind, can you share another picture of Allie?

Stow, Oh - Friday, September 10, 2004 11:38 AM CDT

Today is the first day that I have visited this website and I am glad that my Kleenex box is within reach. I am very saddened to read about your struggles and can only imagine how you must feel. Two years ago my little boy died before he had a chance to live; he was stillborn at full term. I tell you this because I want to tell you that in a strange way you have been blessed. In Allie's short existence, thus far, you have grown to love her smile, the way she looks at you and tells you she loves you even though she can't speak. You've watched her blow raspberries, comforted her when she cried, played with her tiny toes, and have probably cringed a little when all she wants to do is eat them. You have been given the love of a child, and that is just the best thing in the world. Some people will never get to experience those joys, and, unfortunately, most people will never get to experience your heartache. You have reminded me not to take the people in my life for granted, and to love them to the best of my ability every day. Cherish every moment with Allie (who is just as cute as a button) and be there for each other as there is still a lot ahead of you. I will say a prayer every chance I get and wish you all the best. Your strength as parents in a situation like this is admirable and you will thank yourselves later for chronicling this time in Allie's life in such a formidable way. There is a future ahead of you and I pray that it includes your darling Allie. Miracles do happen.

Jenny and Andrew, My heart aches for you. I cannot believe how incredibly sad I am at your story. I am amazed that I can feel so much for a little baby and two young parents I have never met. I will continue to pray for strength for your entire family. Your words are beautiful. Thank you for letting the world peek into your private life. I hope you know how may mothers and fathers are holding their little ones tighter because of you. Please give that precious baby a kiss for me.

To all of Allie's family: A friend of mine posted this on the Nov 2001 board yesterday. I know she won’t mind me passing it on to you:

I am standing on the shore as a great ship gently glides from the harbor and sails toward the horizon. She is beautiful. Sails billowing and shining bright as sunlight sparkling on distant waters. She grows smaller and smaller until at last, her white sails shine as ribbons, out where the sky and water mingle as one.
And as I watch, a voice behind me says, "Well, she's gone." She's gone. Gone? "No," I tell myself. No, she is not really gone. Not really. She is gone only in the sense that I can no longer see her.
In reality, she is the same as ever; just as beautiful; just as shining. And deep in my heart I know that on another shore someone is crying out, "Look! Look everyone! Here she comes!"

I pray today that you will feel peace, and that all of this love, love for one another, which now stretches to the far ends of the earth and has touched so many lives, all of it created and guided by your Angel Allie, will lift you up in your most desperate of times. Quite a legacy!

Your family is in our prayers. I have a 3 year old girl and am expecting my son November 19th. Tests showed that he might have downs syndrome, I opted out for the amnio, so I guess time will tell. I hope if he does have downs that I can have as much strength and courage that you both have. God Bless

Hi Allie and Family,
You are truly amazing people. I lost my dad to cancer and kidney transplant failure in May of this year. Entirely diferent than your struggle, but I can understand the pain of losing a central part of your being. My dad seemed like a little baby by the end. I am so happy that you are able to express yourself at this time. Nothing will cut the pain but this outlet has got to help. And I will pray that your prayers are answered, since they are complex and your needs change daily, I will simply pray that the needs of your heart are met daily.
Much love and peace to all of you and Baby Allie from California,

Jenny - I know I probably sound like a broken record; you have heard so many times before - but what you and your husband are doing with Allie is having a huge impact on how I relate to my son. I do not take him for granted; I have more patience with him; I enjoy and celebrate every day the kisses, the sweet hugs, the loud laughter, and the pure joy he brings to my life. My heart breaks for you; I want so badly for you to experience the same things with Allie. It gives me some comfort knowing you are celebrating her life; and loving her with every piece of your body and soul. As I was reading your post last night the lyrics to a song came to me...'Mourning to Dancing'

You've turned my mourning into dancing again
You've lifted my sorrow
I can't be silent
I must sing for your JOY has come!!

Love and Prayers - Renee

May God Bless your precious Angel Allie and your family. I pray that God gives you strength in dealing with the hardship that your family is enduring.

Allie has touched me in such a way I can't stop thinking about her having a 7 month old baby girl of my own makes me cry and makes me admire you as a mother in unimaginable ways. I don't think that I could have your strength. You and your husband and loved ones are extremely brave and I pray that I could have just a % of your strength. May God Bless Your Family and Your Precious Angel.

"Wind Beneath My Wings"

Ohhhh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh.
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.

Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.

Jen, Andrew and Beautiful Allie
Wow, what a beautiful post. We come several times a day to read the updates on Allie. We, have come to love Allie and your family. What a blessing little Allie has been to myself and my daughter. I find that I am more patient, and have more time for hugs and kisses and just sitting and talking with my girl.
I love this song "The Wind Beneath my Wings" Allie has inspired many people and will continue to do so for a long time. The time that you have shared your little darling with the world will remain with us. Forever we are changed because of Your Family.

My baby is 6 months old today and I keep looking at her and trying to imagine what life would be like if she were in your Allie's shoes and I can't. I can't imagine how you must really feel. I'm sure no one can unless they've been where you are right now. I'm so sorry for all the sadness and pain your family is going through right now and your precious Allie. It's so sad and I will keep you all in my prayers every day. I pray that Allie finds peace and comfort soon, wherever that may be. Take care.

Like every other parent, I had no idea the depth, breadth, and ferocity of love you could feel for another human being until I had my first child 4 years ago. The pain that is the other side of that coin is unthinkable, unbearable, and cruel.
Despite this, I have no doubt that you, Jenny and you, Andrew, would go through every second all over again in order to experience the gift of being Allie's parents, even for a short time.
I am deeply touched by the strength of your marriage, and I know together you will love each other through everything that needs to be done.
I am so deeply, terribly sorry and sad for all you have been through and all you will face.
I wish you peace, comfort, love and yes, joy.
From my family to yours.

After reading some of the other so eloquent entries, I know my words can never express the pain that I feel for you all. I feel so blessed to have had Allie in my life if only through your beautiful words and pictures. My Grandmother said that no mother should ever have to lose a child. It just isn't the natural order of things. Allie is too perfect for this world. We all have to find comfort in knowing that she will not suffer and have a beautiful smile and raspberries for the rest of eternity. I am praying that all of your pain is eased and that you continue to find peace. I am also still praying for that miracle. Love

Dear Jenny, Andrew, and the grandmas,

In the past several weeks as I've read your updates, I've tried over and over to come up with some words of comfort, but far be it from me to think that I could do that. Maybe, hopefully, I pray, that I will be able to. The following words are some excerpts from a song by Wayne Watson. They have been on my mind all day today. He wrote this song when a friend of his was dying from cancer. It's called "Home Free"

I"m trying hard not to think You unkind
But Heavenly Father, if You know my heart
Surely You can read my mind
Good people underneath a sea of grief
Some get up and walk away
Some will find ultimate relief

Home free - eventually
At the ultimate healing
We will be Home free

Sometimes the good die young
It's sad but true
And while we pray for one more heartbeat
The real comfort is with You

Pain has little mercy
Suffering's no respector of age
of race or position

Home free - eventually
At the ultimate healing
We will be home free

Loves and prayers to you,
Tonya

Dear Jenny and Andrew,
This is the third time I'm writing to you this week! You both truly amaze me with your strength and courage! After Wednesday's entry, I was almost afraid to open up last night's, but I'm glad I did because for the first time in weeks, I was able to feel the peace and love that you were feeling. The fact that you were able to laugh with Dana and Annie made me feel so much better. I know your hearts are breaking right now as are all of ours, but just like you said, we are also celebrating Allie's life. She is such a blessing and is a miracle as we all know it. She will never have to stare hunger in the face, abuse, prejudice, hatred or any other vice on this earthe hunger in the face, abuse, prejudice, hatred or any other vice on this earth. Because of you and Andrew, she has known only love, laughter, adoration and beauty. She will continue to feel all these things in heaven, and she will know in her beautiful heart that she is "home". I pray for you that this final journey will be a wonderful celebration of Allie's life.
My beautiful baby Allie:
You are such a sweet and strong girl. I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through. I wish I could take all your pain away and make you better. You have made such an impact in my life, and for that I will forever be grateful. You bring so many smiles to my face when I look at your pictures. You're a little darling, and I wish I can be there to hug you and kiss you! When you get your angel wings and go to heaven, please watch over your mommy and daddy. They love you with every ounce of their being, and hate that you are hurting. Keep them safe and let them know that you will be ok. I'm always praying for a miracle for you, but then again, YOU are the miracle. I love you!

Jenny and Andrew- Your posting last night was so beautiful. Thank you for taking us through your day to experience a sample of the love that was flowing through your room. I have to tell you, when you talk about Allie caressing your face it just warms my heart. It is such an overwhelming experience. It is like she is memorizing you as well. It was good to hear that you were able to spend some time with Allie and those that love you guys so much. I could see images as I read your post with Dana coming in and you guys surrounding Allie and then Annie describing each precious feature of Allie's face. I pray that today all you guys feel is love and peace. I pray for Allie to be comfortable. I continue to pray for a miracle. Take care!

Much Love- Kristel

Jenny, to read your last comment on your post last night brought streams of tears down my face. I have *seen* actually read about your struggles and hatred towards God in the last 4 months and I cannot say that I know how you feel, I can only imagine, but I will be celebrating your daughters life through my 2 boys for thier every breath and thier every laugh. To write this now is hard because I don't truly know you, only through your words, but you have become a kindred spirit in my heart, a fellow mother, a fellow wife, a fellow sister in life, and I want you to know that you are truly amazing. No matter how many times it is said to you, you shine like the morning sun in Allie's eyes, in Andrew's eyes. You received and angel because you DESERVED her and you yourself are an angel!!!
Continuing to pray for you and Allie and Andrew!!!
Love you all, I will keep checking your site everyday, as you are a HUGE part of my heart!!!

My love is with you now and forever b/c I'll never be able to forget your family.

Allie is a beautiful little girl, hold her close.

This was on my fathers memorial cards and I would like to share it with all of you.

If you think you are beaten you are
If you think you dare not, you don't
If you think you'd like to win, but you can't
It's almost certain you won't

If you think you'll lose, you've lost
For out in the world you'll find
Success begins with a fellows will
It's all in the state of mind

For many a race is lost
Before the race is run
And many a coward fails
Before his work's begun

Think big and your deeds will grow
Think small and you fall behind
Think that you can, and you will
It's all in the state of mind

If you think you are outclassed you are
You've got to think high to rise
You've got to be sure of yourself
Before you can ever win a prize

Life's battle doesn't always go
To the stronger or faster man
But sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can

Sweet Jenny,

I am at a loss of words; although, I'm sure I'll type many! I have only been reading your post for a few weeks, and the past couple of days have been total deja vu with the exception that Paige was at home when her sweet spirit left us. I'm glad you snuck in Sam's room and were able to share smiles. I must tell you after Paige left, I chose to go outside while other family members said their goodbyes. When I returned, they had moved Paige into the bedroom and she had a smile on her face. I asked if they had made that smile, and they promised no that it appeared on her own. I smiled and said that my baby must have received her pink wings... My very first comment when visiting her prior to the wake was that she had lost her smile. The Pastor said "No, she didn't lose it; she took it with her." I know that Allie too will smile continuously from up above. Today would have been Paige's 11th birthday and I will ask her once again to welcome sweet, baby Allie. You are right you know, we have been truly blessed to experience the unconditional love of such courageous angels. Your family has touched the hearts of many and your strength is amazing. My love and prayers continue to be with all of you.

Big hugs,
Amy

Jenny, Andrew and Allie,
My sister-in-law, Kristin Sartor, shared your Wednesday post with us. I want all of you to know that you are in our hearts and prayers. I have a grandson who was born on Dec 22, 2003, just a few days younger than Allie and a granddaughter born March 23, 2004. I can't say that I know how you feel, but I know how I feel just thinking about something like this happening to our babies. And yes, no matter how old your children are, they still are your babies. I pray that the grief we feel will lighten your load. You are obviously people of great faith. I know that God will give you the strength to get through this. In time we will understand the meaning of it all. Isn't it amazing how someone so small can affect our lives so much with things as simple as a smile or a touch? Thank you for celebrating Allie's life and sharing her with the rest of the world. May God bless you and bring you His peace.

Your Thursday entry was one of complete love. Your faith and love come through each and every word you write. I feel the love of God all around me at this moment because of you and sweet Allie. If ever there was a blessing in all of this...this is one now. Thank you for making my faith even stronger than it was...wish i was as lucky as dana to find a special friend (which is you) God bless you and know that Allie is so much more than what this earth is and what she is teaching us all about life.

Andrew & Jenny
Today was the first day reading about your struggles and I wanted to say your strength through this process has brought so much more perspective into my life. I recently found out that I be a mother for the first time and your story has made me want to be the best mother I can be because there are no guarantee's in life. I pray that Allie lives the rest of her days with as little as pain as possible. God Bless you and your family!

Andrew, Jenny & Allie,
Last night I sat down and read your entire story after I posted below. I didn't imagine how much your story would impact me... I went downstairs and got my daughter out of her bed and just hugged her. She was sound asleep, but I didn't care if she woke. Even after I got the evil I from my husband. I am so thankful that I am able to share my life with such a wonderful person. Your story has made me realize how very lucky I am. All of the little things that used to get under my skin w/my 9 month old; the crying, the screaming, the fits, the poops, no sleep. But also the great things; the smiles, the kisses, little words and shreiks of pure joy... They mean so much more to me now. I see them not as irretations or little things now, but as true blessings. Little things that some parents can only dream of sharing again with their children. I can only hope that you receive a miracle that will allow Allie to get stronger and healthier.

I have never cried for a stranger. No one has ever touched my soul like your family. You have amazing strength and love. I sat and cried and thought about your family and tried to explain to my husband why I was such a wreck. I could barely speak. So, I had him come read the article that was in your local newspaper. I watched his face and I knew he then understood my sorrow. We hugged each other for what seemed like eternity. And went downstairs he just watched our princess sleep.

I have sent your website and a description of your story to my friends and family, asking them to pray and pass the word around about your family. I have also written an email to my favorite DJs on a Chicago radio station (I just moved from there and still listen daily) asking them to help spread the word, if they get a chance. I know they will. Being so far away I know there is not much I can do, but I will help spread the awareness of little Allie and hope that her story touches everyone's life in some way. And that they can help out w/prayers, giving blood, donations, or whatever else they can help with.

We are all thinking of you. We love you. God Bless you and we will keep praying.

Jenny, Andrew and Little Miss Allie,

I ran into your website via a link I found on another website I frequent. Your story brought tears to my eyes. I want you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish there was more I could do for your family, but I will do what I can in my part of the country, all the while thinking of your family and your sweet Allie. I hope the next few weeks you can find peace in knowing many people are praying for you. God Bless.

Thinking of you in the Mid West...

I found your site when I was trying to find some clipart. I am not sure what page it was at the time, but I saw a picture of your sweet angel, and I clicked on it. Ever since then I have been hooked. Also with Sam's page, and then today I just learned about the Ormond Family. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you everyday. I know that right now it is very difficult for both of you, I am a parent of two boys, and it would be so hard for, as it is for you. I pray that God will bring you the peace that you need to get thru this. Your angel is so beautiful.

May God Bless you,

You don't know me - I found your address from a message board I belong to - it was a link on another gal's signature. I had tears in my eyes as I read through your struggles and know that I will go home, hug my two children and thank God for them.

My heart breaks for all of you. I know this is a difficult time and there are no words that can be said that will take the pain away. Please know that your story is being heard around the world and millions of prayers have been and will be sent up to God for all of you. Allie, you are a shining light for all of the world! God has a special plan for you and you have touched so many lives in such a short period of time and you don't even realize it. You are a precious angel sent straight from above!

Hard doesn't come close to describing the situation you are in right now. My heart aches with you and wishes that I could take away some of your pain. No parent should have to endure what you are, and yet you are handling it with such dignity and grace.

I had a hard day the other day with my 9 month old daughter. It was frustrating and long. Then I read your post and my attitude completely changed. That is what you have done for people...and that is why so many people want to give something to you in return.

Through your struggle you've risen to heights that have inspired us all.

I heard this song first when my daughter was 1 month old. I was driving somewhere and I had to pull over because of the emotions it brought to me. Now when I heard it the other day I thought of you, I just wanted to share a few words of it with you.

In My Daughter's Eyes
Martina McBride

In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me gives me
strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about

It's hangin' on when your heart
has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes

My God lead you to peace and my Allie always live in our hearts.

"What Cancer Cannot Do"

Cancer is so limited:
It cannot cripple love,
It cannot shatter hope,
It cannot corrode faith,
It cannot destroy peace,
It cannot kill friendship,
It cannot suppress memories,
It cannot silence courage,
It cannot invade the soul,
It cannot steal eternal life,
It cannot conquer the spirit.

Like many others I have been following your story and rooting for Allie every day. I have never commented because I didn't know what I could possibly say that you haven't already heard. Instead of dwelling on how sad I am for you, I am going to tell you about how proud I am of you both, and your little angel. That little girl has touched millions of people and has inspired me to become a better person and a better mother. With the help of you, her parents, she has done something in a matter of months that many will never do in an entire lifetime. That is something you can be so proud of. What an amazing, sweet baby. Every night, I wait for your update, read about how your day went, then go upstairs and kiss my 3 month old son goodnight, whisper in his ear how much I love him, and thank God that I have been blessed with another day with him. Thank you all for being such an inspiration.

Jenny, Andrew, & Angel Baby Allie,

You all are such and inspiration! I pray for you every day. I know you will find comfort & strength in the Lord. God only blesses us with as much as we can handle. Your precious daughter was sent to you for a reason. I admire your strength & love for your family. You are all so amazing. Your story has touched my heart and makes me realize how precious life is.

I have read & followed your story from the baby center boards. My son, Austin was born June 29, 2003. That whole board is rallying for Allie.

I wish there was something I could do for you, but for now, as you requested, I will celebrate with you in my heart and pray for all of you.

Take comfort in knowing your baby girl will always be your guardian angel.

God Bless you all!

I have never genuinely prayed for anyone or anything in my entire life until last night, when I said a prayer for Allie. I will continue to do so. Words can't express my admiration of your courage, or my sorrow for the empty space that will be left in this world that was Allie's. I know that you will fill that space with joy and hope and because of that her memory will live on forever, in you and in all the other people around the world who have grown to love Allie. I will celebrate her life every day with my son and my husband, and think of the Scott family often. You are truly an inspiration, and you are loved.

Dear Jenny, Andrew, and Allie:

I have heard pieces of your story over the past few months, and visited your site for the first time yesterday. It is very moving, to say the least, the effort you have made to keep everyone informed of your priceless moments with Allie. I am not a parent, but I am an Aunt, a sister, a cousin, a friend, and I am someone’s child. I, too, believe that quality of life outweighs the quantity of it. As I sit here with my aching heart, praying for your miracle to happen, I realize that your miracle is Allie herself. And she will overcome this, just not the way we all hope or expect. You have blessed your daughter, as she has blessed you, with unimaginable and endless courage, strength, and all of your love. You have done a wondrous thing in sharing this love for each other with the rest of us, as this love spreads to our family and friends. Wow, what a legacy! You have given her, and yourselves, a most precious gift in loving her and helping her through this final phase, which will also be a new beginning for her as she gets ready to soar.

May you find comfort with the words you have written, may you find joy with the love you have spread, and may you find peace in celebrating Allie.

Thank you for sharing such beauty with me and allowing me to celebrate along with you.

With love and prayers,

I've been following Allie's story for several weeks, but I don't know that I've ever signed your guestbook. I was heartbroken when I read your most recent journal entries. Although I don't know you and I've never had the pleasure of meeting your beautiful baby, I wanted to let you know that I believe Allie has touched many, many lives. I know she has touched mine. I will pray for continued strength during the days and weeks ahead.

Jenny and Andrew.
As I sit here and read your entry from last night I think to myself, "look at all the strength!" I want you to know that you have given me so much strength to handle these problems with my daughter. My heart aches for you and your family. Words cannot express what I truly want to say. I have this feeling inside me that is unexplainable. When I look at Baby Allie I truly see a beautiful angel that was put on earth. Maybe for just a short time but she has impacted and touched so many lives in her short life. Precious Allie sure has earned those wings she will recieve. She will be free of pain and AML. Keep the faith and the strength and God will help you through it. As will everyone here that thinks and prays for you everyday. Emily and I prayed for you last night. We cried and asked God to help Jenny, Andrew, and Precious Baby Allie. My little Emily loves your baby Allie and so do so many others.

Baby Allie,
You are such a precious little angel. You have been so strong and brave. You have given my little girl that strength to continue fighting her cancer. You have the BEST mommy and daddy. I have never come in contact with two people that have so much love, strength, bravery, and faith in you. They love you so much.You have truly touched so many lives here on earth and I know that the angels are goin to fall in love with you like we all did. Love you and God Bless

You are so right- Allie is a joy and a blessing- but not just to you... she has been a blessing to so many. I thank God that during her life she has known nothing but unconditional love. Never has she known neglect, or uncaring, or indifference. She has been enveloped by love her entire life... and because of this I know that she is going to feel right at home in Heaven. I don't know why God sends these angels to us sometimes, but He clearly had a plan for her and for you- and just look at the thousands your sweet little baby has touched. She's taught so many of us to delight in the simple things, and thank God for the small blessings. Lucky you to have such a special angel in your lives! We will celebrate Allie's life, and I will continue to pray that she has comfort and peace.

God Bless,

I promise you that I will celebrate Allie's life, today and every day. I feel honored to "know" you, to "know" precious Allie. I pray for so much for her, and you. The strength that you and Andrew have shown is amazing. Allie has an amazing family, with so much love. Thank you for sharing such a precious angel, and your love with me and the countless others around the world. Little Allie, your family, y'all have touched the world. Allie has accomplished so much more in her 8 1/2 months than most people who live to be 90 have. I only "know" Allie and you through this site, and I love y'all with all my heart. You and your little angel will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart. We will hold you in our prayers always. We will pray for Allie's peace, although I'd still prefer to pray for a miracle...If you need me, PLEASE email me... {{{{HUGS}}}}

Jenny~ Yesterday was my first time visiting your web site. I will pray with all of my heart that God will hold all of you close to him. I shared your story with my nine year old son and he told me before we laid down to go to sleep that he prayed for Allie 3 times. You have allowed me to see that life is all about our children and not to take even one moment for granted. Give Allie a gentle squeeze of the hand from my Angel already in heaven. I am sure he is watching over her. All of our love and prayers to you all~

My 3 year old is saving every penny he finds to help "his" other Allie. His goal is $10.00 but he says he'll need help counting that many pennies!! He has a 2 year old sister Ally but he says he needs to take care of both "his" Allie's. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers now and always!!

Jenny, Andrew and Allie - I know there are no words that I could say that could bring you any comfort right now. I wish there was a magic wand I could wave over you to make all of this just go away - but I can't, and it breaks my heart. I pray that you both remain strong, and that Allie continues to stay comfortable. If a miracle does not occur and Allie, the angel she is, flies to heaven, I hope you find comfort in knowing you have someone watching over you at all times. I want to tell you what an inspiration you have been to me as parents - you are the epitome of love, and Allie is so blessed to have you both. Although her time here is limited, she has touched so many people and made us all a bit more humble. Continued love and prayers being sent your way!

My heart is aching so hard for you and Andrew. As a parent you never want to have to watch your child suffer. I have been praying that God just keeps his hand on her and that she doesn't hurt, that he keeps Allie and you and Andrew in the comfort of his arms. I know that pain is still in your heart for I know that pain of watching your child slip away. (I lost my little boy in 2001 due to other problems)I have asked many people here in the city of Tulsa to pray for your family and sweet precious Allie. You all have become a big part of my life through reading these posts. Know that you are being loved and prayed for.

Dear Scott Family:
I am an Aunt of Megan (Eisel) Bowman and Great Aunt of Claire Vivian Bowman. Meg sent me your web site information on Allie because she knows I am a strong Christian woman who truly believes in the power of prayer. Please know that you have been placed on a prayer chain at Welsh Memorial Baptist Church in Frostburg, MD where your family will be lifted up daily. I know you have had to make some very hard decisions with regard to Allie's care. Always remember that those decisions are also in God's hands - His will be done. I will lift you up in prayer everyday. Whatever decision the Lord makes with regard to Allie will be the right one for her. You must trust in that. If He takes her into His arms, they will be loving and warm and she will sit at His feet forever. She will be one of the fortunate ones to get there before us. I will be sending this information to many friends across the U.S. and abroad so that even more prayers can go out.
In Christian Love,
Susan Eisel

Hey Jenny,

I just read your post and i wanted to thank you once again for sharing yourself and your family so graciously with all of it,i know me and a lot of others were deseperate to know how Allie was today,i must have checked the site about every 30 minutes at least today,i was so anxious for you all and wanted to know how that sweet little wonder was doing.

It sounds like you have had some beautiful moments of love with Allie today whilst lying with her and when she looked into your eyes,i'm so glad you're making good memories.I'm not surprised you and Andrew can't sleep,but i am glad you're talking to each other so much,often parents in your situation forget that and make things harder still,lean on each other always and remember nobody loves you more than he does.
I'm glad Dana and Annie got to visit with Allie today,what a blessing for both of them to be close to such a special person as Allie,i wish we all had the honor of being able to actually meet her before she's no longer with us,i'll always regret that we didn't get to spend any actual time with Allie seeing her smile *tears*
Be gentle with yourselves Jenny and do what you and Andrew need to and feel is right at the moment,i'm sure the Dr's will have other ideas on what they feel is the thing for you to be doing and not doing right now but they aren't the ones who have to live with all of this and so you need to do what you can to get through this as much as you can.

I am thinking of sweet Ted,i hope he passes gently and his family are all with him for those last goodbye's.I'm sure he'll be there for Allie when the time comes as well *so many tears,i can hardly write those words* i've spoken to my angel Daniel as i do often as well and asked him to make sure he's there for her as well,he'd be 12 now so she'll have an instant big brother there to look out for her as well.

Take care of yourselves right now,we love you all.

Theresa xoxo

Jenny, Andrew, and precious angel Allie:
I've been reading your site for weeks now - and I the love I have for your family is just outstanding. I cry with you, laugh with you, hurt with you, and I'm a complete stranger. You've touched the hearts and lives of so many, Allie. You're such a blessing to all. Jenny - I want w/ everything in me to fly to TX this weekend and spend a few hours just comforting you. Yet again, I'm a complete stranger. I know you get comments like this all of the time - I just want you and your family to know that you're in our prayers everynight and you're so loved. I'm a May 2003 mom - on TLGO and we update our site constantly w/ updates of Allie. <3

Wow, Jenny. Your post just spoke volumes to me. I know you might not be aware of this, but the Lord is with you as we speak, giving you the strenght to celebrate the glorious life of Allie. I've never been so touched in all my life. Here you are, a mother whose watched her child suffer for months on end, whose been to hell and back agonizing over the ups and downs, and whose chosen to celebrate her daughter in what may be her final moments instead of hanging on for dear life as I'm sure most of us would. Your strength, perserverance, and wisdom is supernatural at this moment. I'm just blown away.

I know you faith varies right now, and I can understand that. But what I do know is the Lord is with you, and little Allie and this has allowed you to want to celebrate her life rather then melting in despair. I know that when Allie leaves this world, although our hearts hear on earth will be burdened and heavy, the heavens will be rejoycing because her magical spirit will finally be home. No more suffering, blood tests, medicines, just her little amazing self with her creator. It brings a smile to my face.

I will celebrate Allie Scott all the days of my life. She has strengthened my faith, warmed my heart, and with each passing day made me realize that what I am witnessing is a miracle. I realize her recovery was the miracle we were all hoping for, but we can't always see the big picture either. The miracle was that Allie spoke to thousands of hearts and made thier existance better. The miracle was that Allie made several thousands of us become blood donors, marrow donors, and contributors to this cause. The miracle was her spirit, her eyes, her raspberries that we all felt through this computer screen. She has become OUR daugther, everyone of us that reads your posts and laughs and cries throughout her journey. She's left her mark on this world, and her footprints on my soul forever.

I love you baby Allie. I hope your resting well today.

Dear Jenny, Andrew and Ally,
I would like to thank you all for letting us in your lives. I have been following your story since June. I am a mother, grandmother and oncology nurse.
You have dealt with this disease with such strength, grace and dignity and have taught many us to live and love for today.
Footprints in the Sand
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there was one only.
This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from anguish,
sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints,
so I said to the Lord,
“You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there has only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”
The Lord replied,
“The years when you have seen only one set of footprints,
my child, is when I carried you.”

Andrew, Jenny, and Little Miss Allie,

I signed one day earlier this week, but just feel that I need to again. You guys have one beautiful Angel for sure. I am a member of the May 2004 BBC board, but I don't get there nearly as much as I would like. I just read about your precious baby on the board this week. I can't beieve I had missed all the other threads about her. She's been on my mind and in my heart since then. I've found myself here several times a day the last couple of days. The three of you have truly touched me. My heart aches for you. As a mother of four healthy children...my youngest being almost 4mos., I just can't even imagine going through what you are going through right now. I have Allie, as well as the two of you, in my thoughts and prayers most all of the day and night when I'm awake. I can't believe how many lives your precious angel has touched, she is truly amazing. May God be with you.

Jenny, your post last night was beautifully spoken. You have given me a sense of peace with your words, and I doubt that I am alone in that feeling. We will continue to pray for comfort and peace for you, Andrew, Allie, and your family. Last night we could not come up with the words to express our love, but were reminded of the Serenity Prayer. I'd say that you and Andrew have executed it flawlessly. We will always be here for you should you need anything at all. Thank you for sharing Allie with us. Much love to you all, Allan & Jennifer Rayson

I am so sorry for what your family is going through. My daughter was in the hospital for 6 days with RSV & pneumonia, and I thought that was tough. I pray that God is at your side during this difficult time, cradling Allie in His strong arms and blessing her with all your love. I'm about as far from Dallas-Fort Worth as you get, but if there's anything I can do, please don't hesitate to ask. I feel compelled to help you, but not sure of the best way. Please let me know. My prayers and God are with you.

Words cannot begin to describe how much sympathy I hold in my heart for you, and how many tears I have shed myself over your situation. Allie is beautiful - the epitome of an angel - and you both are the best example of parents I could ever imagine. Allie made you become a mother and father, but your actions during her illness have made you mommy and daddy, the best she could have hoped for.

My wish for you is peace, knowing that you have done the best for Allie, knowing that she will never be forgotten, and knowing that she was loved and you loved her in return with all your hearts.

God Bless.

It's a hard thing to watch your child suffer and to be helpless in easing that suffering. Jenny,through your willingness to lay yourself wide open for the world to read your innermost thoughts and worst fears, I respect you. Through your writings you have put a face on this horrible disease. A precious angel face. Andrew, your strength is obvious. That strength and your love and commitment to your family is an example of what a REAL man truly is. Along with you, I celebrate Allie. What a precious gift she is! All of our days are numbered and none of us, infant or older person alike, knows how many we have. Your family has touched my heart deeply and obviously so many others too. I find myself checking every morning on Allie's progress and sending up a prayer for her and your family.She is blessed to be surrounded with such an abundance of love! From family to hospital staff to complete strangers, she has made quite an impact. How many of us will ever make that kind of an impact if we lived to be 100! My prayers continue for Allie and for you Jenny & Andrew. May you be strengthened and filled with hope and anytime you feel as though it is in short supply, draw upon the love and support of all of us out here who have come to include your family within the circle of our own.

Jenny and Andrew,
You are both amazing people. God has given you Allie because he knows how strong you are and that you are able to love an angel in an amazing way. He knew your strength when he placed Allie in your arms and he knew you would be able to share her with the world. He did not make her sick, but he knows that she is too good for this world. He has a job for her in Heaven, to watch over your family and all the babies in this world. He needs her to teach people to love more and to respect their families more. Thank you for sharing your angel with all of us. You have touched my life.

The past few days have flown by like jet planes, and yet the nagging feeling that I have to sign your guestbook would not leave me. As I sit here with the triplets, I wonder. What if it were someone I knew. Would I be as strong as Jenny and Andrew? Would I have the faith to get in front of computer night by night as my child lay in a bed with an uncertain future? I should only hope! In regards to Barbara in Canada; that was the most beautiful post I've seen! You too, have wisdom!

Miss Allie Scott has a webpage dedicated in her honor. http://alliescott.harmonysechopc.org If you would like additional information or photos to be posted, you can email me anytime. Through Allie and Caring Bridge, I have come across the most courageous people in America. No military official could withstand the courage and bravery as a parent or child suffering with disease. I would die a thousand deaths so that Allie could live just one life. I say that for all children; healthy or not. Miss Allie has deeply inspired a newfound faith in the Lord in my home. We had become wayward, not hearing his callings. Now, after several months of following Sam & Allie, we have heard him. We no longer spank our children. We no longer yell at them for recourse of intelligence. We no longer punish them for petty mistakes. We only embrace their naivety and try to redirect their brains to act in a more concise manner. I thank the Scotts for giving me this peace. As many are donating for Allie, they have no idea what they've 'donated' to us, as a society.

We are grateful, Dana, Dr. E, Jenny, Andrew, Sam, Ethan and Allie, for your perseverence and dedication to your children. Hug them, kiss them, tickle them, throw them in the air, chase them out of your bed, give them bubble baths, let them run naked, do whatever it takes to keep smiles on their faces, in their hearts and in your lives!!!!

We celebrate you, Allie! We love you in ARIZONA!

Your friends,
Amanda, Adryan, Phillip, Wendy, Kylee, Jaycie, Delani, Brody and the rest of the Starry, Newton, Clarke family!

GOD BLESS YOU

IT WILL NEVER EVER BE THE SAME IN MY LIFE ......

Whenever I will see a giraffe or Sophie,
it will put a smile on my face.

Whenever I will see the surname Scott,
it will remind me of your family,

Whenever I will see a baby blowing rasberries,
you will come to my thoughts,

Whenever I will see the name Alison or Allie,
your sweet face will come in front of my eyes,

Whenever, I will hear the word strong and brave,
your name will come up on my lips,

Whenever, I will hear the word "Leukemia (AML),
it will bring tears in my eyes.

Allie, you will be always in our hearts no matter the distance in between us.

May God give peace and calmness to your parents and hopefully also a miracle.

Dear Sweet Allie,

First, I would just like to say that you are the strongest baby I have ever known. You are so brave. You definitely get it from your mom and dad. Oh how I wish for a different outcome! I am still hoping for that miracle to happen when they say you are better. No on should have to endear anything like this, especially a baby and her sweet loving parents. Allie, I know people have said this before, but you have made me love my little baby girl so much more. She has always been very special to me, but even more so now. I cherish every minute with her and take nothing for granted. Allie, I love you so much and am so sorry that you are in so much pain. I am sitting here crying while I am typing this because the situation is truly breaking my heart. Jennifer and Katharine in Richmond, VA

Beautiful because it united thousands upon thousands of people who normally wouldnt know each other; we've been encouraged to donate, volunteer, walk, fundraise, etc; Allie's life is something special to be celebrated and you can bet everyone is still praying for beautiful Allie and your entire family.

Jenny, I signed the guestbook yesterday but felt so led to sign again today. I just read your post about the memories. I would love to one day read an entry from you about the special times with Allie. What a wonderful way to view her life. We sometimes get caught up in our circumstances and forget the blessings (I know I do!). Because of angel Allie, I am no longer so quick to focus on the down side but I remember everyday to remember my blessings. Allie is one of those blessings. She has blessed me tremendously. There is a song by the Greenes called "Jesus Rocking Chair" and the one line tha stands out is the obvious... Jesus has a rocking chair. Jesus will be Allie's parents in heaven until you meet her there again one day. Be blessed. You are such a blessing to the world.

Your story has truly touched my heart and I cannot wait to start my profession to ease the pain of innocent children that have to deal w/ the unfair hardships of life. I pray many times a day for your family. I still have hope that a miracle may happen. Your family is the strongest I have ever "known". Your last paragraph ment the most to me....you are really blessed to witness being parents to a true angle.I wish the best for all of you. God Bless you.

I'm so sorry for not signing the guestbook yesterday after reading your post about our Sweet Allie. Due to the time difference here in Hong Kong, I always read your update at work at around 10 in the morning and the worst thing is that I work at the reception and believe me I had a really hard day yesterday, trying to hide my tears and my face. I just had to tell everybody I'm having a very bad cold. I just had to wait and sign the guestbook in a secure place where I can shed my tears while typing it.

I was wishing so hard not to read this kind of post by you for Allie. I really could not control myself and have to wait to get home and let myself cry to let the anger and the grieve out. But, believe me, it did not help at all. I'm still feeling the same way.

When I first came to this website and saw sweet Allie's face, I could not control but to fall in love with her. I can't put it in words how much I love her.

I really hope Allie can make it through another few months and have another transplant done which will make her all well. But.........if she is going to suffer then I think it is best she takes her leave.

You are right, she is too good for this world. We do not deserve her, she is a angel which belongs to Heaven. Better place for her. BUT......... I'm not going to give up, I'm still going to pray for a miracle to happen. I would ask God if he has a miracle in store for me, I would like him to give it to Allie and make her healthy. She deserves a life with you. I just wish God give her another chance and let her enjoy.

God Bless Allie and give you enough strength to go thru all this.

Ending with a very heavy and sad heart

Dear Jenny and Andrew,

Seven years ago my father passed away in front of me, my mother, my brother and sister, after a year and a half battle with cancer. As with Allie, many people came to spend a final moment with him several days before he passed. It was heart warming and overwhelming all at the same time. We didn't know when he would pass, we just knew it was imminent. After a couple days of "false alarms" and truly supernatural episodes, he was ready to go and he told us "It's time, get Mom."

He was able to narrate his passing with us, which was a miracle in and of itself given his mental and physical state at the time. In his words, looking wide-eyed up to heaven, he saw "A bright light! Music! Lots of people! I'm going to miss you guys. I love you." He reached toward heaven with the most amazed look in his eyes and the widest grin I'd seen on his face in months. And then he took his final breath. It's a sound I'll never forget. It's a moment I'm blessed to have shared. I'ts an experience that I wanted to share with you because Allie is not able to tell you what is happening.

Medical reports can't tell you that right now she is meeting angels at her bedside and begging them for one more day with Mommy and Daddy. You're right, you are lucky to have been blessed with such an angel. I'm blessed to have learned of your story. I still celebrate my father's passing as one of the most sacred blessings ever given to me by God. It was truly a testament to our family's faith. Allie will experience the same welcoming as my father did, in fact I will say a special prayer tonight asking the good man to visit her side and guide her when the time is right.

Since my Father died we have experienced his presence in very obvious ways and have received unsolicited messages from him from the least suspecting people. It may sound cooky, but his presence was obvious and comforting for the first couple of years after he died. Now, he's moved on and so have we. We never thought we would, but we did. I still cry on occasion. I always will. His presence is no longer as obvious as it was several years ago because he knows that we got what we needed from him. Allie will of course be with you for the rest of your lives, in your hearts, but don't be shocked to find "hard" evidence of her spirit shortly after her passing. She and God will provide the comfort and assurance that you need.

God Bless your Angel,

Cristina

Peace be with you and your precious angel Allie.

"...
our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
but i'd of had to miss the dance
..."

Rejoice! You are so right to celebrate! Given the chance, most of us would trade a mountain of heartache for the five glorious minutes that you were given today with your sweet baby girl.

Breathe her in. Let her skin melt into yours.

Jenny and Andrew; "comfort measures" ...says it all doesn't it?

words escape me sometimes, but my feelings run so very deep for your family. what you are doing for Allie in the name of love is indescribable....just loving her. incredible.

it hurts me to look at pictures of Allie...there's one in particular, where she's happy and has a real mischievious look in her eyes...she's happy...i love that picture...i've seen that exact same look in my daughter's eyes..right before she does something that she knows will elicit a reaction.

you're right, this is no way to live for a baby. "comfort measures"...she deserves that at the very least and dignity and respect....and once again the 2 of you rise to the occasion. in the name of love. her eyes tell a truth that we can not ignore...she knows, she knows...she also knows that it will be ok. the wisdom and pure honesty in babies and children is so very heartwarming.

while i continue to wish for a miracle, i know that allie will show you the way. and the best part is that you're listening...truly listening. follow her lead...she will take you there. it hurts beyond belief, i can only imagine...i never want to imagine, but i do nonetheless.

i wish for the 2 of you to find peace with the incredibly hard decisions that you are faced...and to rejoice in the love that allie has for you.

i feel so very sad for both of you right now...lost dreams, aspirations...you didn't sign up for this...the crappy part is that bad things do happen to good people. i get angry, very angry at the mere thought of diseases that attack our children...it just pisses me off...its not fair.

but what you have taught me and soo many others is...this is not a bad thing...this is true love. when and if allie takes her final breath, it will not hurt, there will be very little physical pain in comparison to what she has already endured. the pain comes in not having her physically with you, blowing raspberries, stroking your faces, smiling etc. you already know that. but you also know that a baby should be smiling at least 500 times a day. and if she is not, then something has compromised her quality of life. you also know that. you know that a baby "knows" its environment (usually home), and not filled with tubes, medicine etc. you also know that.

i'm a firm believer in death with dignity...allie deserves this....she needs to feel that its ok to go onto the next phase of her existence...its ok. and yes, you will be left with unfufilled dreams, and a broken heart. for that i cry for and with you.

i cry for and with you. i cry for allie. she's a beautiful baby that was dealt a shitty hand. its just not fair. she deserves a fair shot, she hasn't got it...this just plainly sucks.

i fluctuate between extreme sorrow for the possible loss of allie and the extreme love that you feel for her. that gives me happiness. it has changed the way i have thought and lived my day to day life.

i just want you to know that your family has created change in the world...i know you didn't set out to do it, but it happened.

listen to your gut, instincts...let allie guide you to the rightful end. she knows, don't kid yourself...she knows...and she will continue to love you forever for respecting the path of her journey.

my thoughts continue to be with you on this horrible, yet inspiring journey. there's so much sorrow, but then there's so much love. focus on the love. there will be much time to focus on the sorrow if need be. allie will always be with you, know that, feel that, live that.

jenny and andrew; you're doing the right thing...don't second guess yourself...continue to listen to allie as she will guide you....

in love and respect,

As I sit here feeling the sting of tears as they roll down my cheeks I do wonder about miracles.
Everyone always hopes for the miracle of extending life but what I think we forget sometimes, is that miracles are all around us, all the time.
You are a miracle mom, faced with such anguish I'd not wish on my worst enemy, yet you glow with love and compassion for others who hurt. How you put yourself out there for other families grieving is a miracle extended to those that hurt.

Your sweet daughter is a miracle child and she shows us all how courageous she is every day. Her raspberries are miracles, because they were her way of expressing her joy and comfort with her surroundings! What more could anyone ask for with a child hospitalized for any length of time?

It's a miracle when we are able to let go of someone we love tenderly and with all our hearts....a miracle that we survive the pain of doing so!
I'm so sad for you all tonite and I send along my love and prayers for a comfortable journey as your Angel prepares to fly.

Jenny and Andrew- We love you both, though we have never "met" you have let us into your lives in such a powerful way. You two are truely cut from a different cloth- such a wonderful, rare, valueable family you make. Thank you for always sharing with us. It breaks our hearts to read your posts, it takes me several times to read through it, especially of late as I, my mom, and sis all have tears running down our faces. I have friends who call me every night to get updates, as they don't have internet. We will always pray for you, please know that no matter what happens you have tons of support and will always find love and acceptance with us. You two are so strong and caring to be able to think of others struggles and pains and ask for prayers for them when you are dealing with the worst thing a parent can face. I believe God can heal Allie and I pray that that is His plan, if it is not- she has touched so many lives and is such a wondeful blessing (which of course you know). Please hold her, hug her, and kiss her for all of us. We love you all.

Allie- You are such a beautiful wonderful baby girl. We all love you so much. We will not give up on you, you are such a fighter, so full of love. We will never forget you, no matter what happens. You have become just like our baby.

I will celebrate your daughter's life. She has made me love my son more then I thought I could. I appreciate him more because of her, I don't get as upset about him teething or not sleeping because of her. I know you already can tell how she has changed and affected a lot of lives. Thank you for sharing her story. My son Cavin Douglas will live a better life because of her.

I came back tonight to read an update and pray for you and Allie! Your Angel is truly one of the wonders of this world and it is too soon for her to have endured so much - for you to have endured so much at least you all had each other. I thought of you all many times today and my children and I have prayed for you. I took my baby in my arms many times today and asked him to send blessings - those of the innocent child on wing to Allie! My words can not express all that I wish I could say for you. You are the strongest people I know. Mine, and my childrens, thoughts and prayers are with you all tonight.

Jenny,
I will celebrate with you! I'll celebrate Allie's life every day of my own. I'll celebrate how much that little angel (and her special mommy) have touched so many people & changed so many lives. I'll celebrate the love you have for you daughter & the love she gives in return. I cried through tonight's entry until the end when you said that. It just made me smile.

Thank you Allie for touching so many lives. Thank you for being you.

Thank you Jenny for sharing your triumphs as well as your heartaches with all of us. You know how many people you have touched.

I will always remember you and your family and beautiful little Allie. Her face is etched in my heart and mind forever. {{{{HUGS}}}}

My heart aches for your family. Over the past months Allie has become a part of me, and because of her I am forever changed. Here is a book that comforted me in hard times. Not only is Allie amazing but your whole family has more strength and courage than I ever could imagine one could have.

The Next Place

By Warren Hanson
The next place that I go will be as peaceful and familiar as a sleepy summer Sunday and a sweet untroubled mind. And yet it won’t be like any place I have ever been or seen… or even dreamed of in the place I leave behind. I won’t know where I’m going, and I won’t know where I’ve been as I tumble through the always and look back toward the when.
I’ll glide beyond the rainbows, I’ll drift above the sky. I’ll fly into the wonder, without ever wondering why. I won’t remember getting there Somehow I’ll just arrive. But I’ll know that I belong there and will feel much more alive than I have ever felt before. I will be absolutely free of the thing that I held onto that were holding on to me.
The next place that I go will be so quiet and so still that the whispered song of sweet belonging will rise up to fill the listening sky will joyful silence, and with unheard harmonies of music made by no one playing, like a hush upon a breeze.
There will be no more room for darkness in that place of living light, where an ever-dawning morning pushes back the dying night. The very air will fill with brilliance, as the brightly shining sun and the moon and have a million stars are married into one.
The next place that I go won’t really be a place at all. There won’t be any seasons -- winter, summer, spring, or fall – Nor a Monday, Nor a Friday, Nor December, Nor July.
And the seconds will be standing still…while hours hurry by.
I will not be a boy or a girl, a woman or a man. I’ll simply be, just, simply, me. No worse or better than. My skin will not be dark or light. I won’t be fat or tall. The body I once lived in won’t be part of me at all. I will finally be perfect. I will be without a flaw. I will never make one more mistake, or break the smallest law. And the me that was impatient, or was angry or unkind will simply be a memory. The me I left behind.
I will travel empty handed. There is not a single thing I have collected in my life that I would ever want to bring except the love of those who loved me, and the warmth of those who cared. The happiness and memories and magic that we shared. Though I will know the joy of solitude I’ll never be alone. I’ll be embraced by all the family and friends I’ve ever known. Although I might not see their faces all our hearts will beat as one, and the circle of our spirits will shine brighter than the sun. I will cherish all the friendship I was fortunate to find, all the love and all the laugher in the place I leave behind. All these good things go with me. They will make my spirit glow, and that light will shine forever in the next place that I go.

I found out about Allie through a chatroom at Babycenter.com I have cried so hard this night at what you and your family have faced. My heart breaks to read the posts that Jenny has made - Allie is truly a special angel! The last few years have been rough in my life - but Allie's story has reminded me that no matter how rough it gets, my children and my grandchildren are here. I pray that your family knows peace and that if it is not to be for Allie to stay, that she will be happy and peaceful and oh, so comfortable. You and Allie have touched me more than you could ever know. I will be following your story and praying with you.

Allie-
You are one of the most beautiful little girls I have ever "met" and my heart just breaks when I read about this horrible disease that has invaded your little body. Your strength and courage are awe-inspiring! You have brought so much joy, not only to your family, but to the rest of the world who has been touched by your story. One day, you will join the angels in heaven to watch over and protect those on earth, but the world isn't ready to let you go. You are such a fighter and it gives me hope that you will beat this! You have inspired so many to live our lives to the fullest. I have a daughter who is 2 months old, and 2 sons, ages 5 and 3, and I know the joy they bring into my life. You have also brought joy and love into our life and have taught us many valuable lessons. You have inspired us to HUG TIGHTER, PLAY HARDER, SMILE WIDER, AND LOVE DEEPER. Every moment of every day you are in our thoughts and prayers. Continue to fight with all your might and brighten everyone's life with your infectious smile!

Jenny and Andrew- Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful daughter with us. The stength and grace that you have shown is something that we can all look up to. I can not imagine the mix of emotions you feel with each passing day. My heart aches for the pain you are in, but amazed at your courage. You are in my prayers every moment and will continue to be forever. May God grant you to the strength to continue the fight for your beautiful daughter and grant you peace and wisdom in your decisions. We love you all!

I just want to say I am sorry that things are not looking too positive right now for Allie, but it is wonderful to read that you and Andrew are taking in every ounce of Allie that you can pack in.

I want to also say that I think you made the right decision to keep Allie where she is. Just knowing that there is medical support a buzzer away has got to be more comforting than your own bed right now.

To our Angel Allie - I have a baby girl one month older than you. I kiss her, hug her, and tell her I love her all the time as we talk about you. I ask her for strength for you and she squeezes my finger. Allie, we may have never 'met' you, but so many people really 'know' you. You were sent here for a purpose. You have definately succeeded. When there is a cure for Leukemia some day, you Mom & Dad can be proud to say - Allie helped. Your beautiful smile has brought so many strangers together. My daughter's school prays for you. My family prays for you. God sent you to help everyone learn the power of prayer that maybe so many of us have forgotten. You've helped me to think about the other kids here that suffer from this horrible disease. I've donated some baby items to the local hospital's Ronald McDonald house because of you. I'm walking next week and took off of work to do it. I'm honored to be walking! You have had an incredible life! You have experienced so much love, so many prayers. You've altered so many lives for the better. Your place here on earth will one day help find a cure. Your parents can be so proud to say Allison Scott is our daughter and she has made this world a better place for EVERYONE!

Thank you Allie for being a part of our lives as well. We love you like you are our daughter. When you do stretch out your beautiful hand and accept the hand of God, could you do one more for everyone on earth? Could you please give those raspberry kisses to all our babies that have been miscarried, stillborn, or left us too soon?

Thank you Miss Allie Scott. You are a hero, and you deserve your wings. Rest peaceful my love!

God Bless you and your family now and always.

Much love, Kari Z. (BBC Nov '03)

Andrew, Jenny, and Allie-

I wish that I had the words to tell you how deeply sorry I am about your beautiful baby girl. You have shown strength that I never even knew existed in life. I don't know how you do it. I would be a constant wreck. I was turned onto your website through BabyCenter a couple of months ago and have been following your story every day since then. I am expecting my first child, a little boy due September 15th. Because of your story and your sweet little girl, you have changed the way I have viewed every aspect of my pregnancy and my life. I know because of you, I will be a better mother, a better sister, a better daughter, and a better friend because I realize now how much of a blessing each life is, no matter how long it stays with you. I am halfway across the country and I probably will never meet you, but you have inspired me. I have never cried and prayed so much for someone I haven't met. My problems and worries are so trivial compared to what you are facing. I know that the past couple of days have been filled with much greif and frusteration. As many of the other posters have said, I too want to beg you to keep trying, but I also know that you've made the right decision. Allie has known so much love and you're right, she has changed and inspired a lot of people. She is an angel on Earth. I hope that you find continued strength knowing that thousands of people around the world are crying, supporting and praying for your family. Like so many others have said, you will forever be in my heart and will still be checking Allie's updates every day praying that God finds her a miracle.

Thank you for sharing your most precious gift with all of us, we'll carry her with us forever.

Jenny, Andrew, and Allie,

I have been keeping up with your website for the past few months and have celebrated every breakthrough and cried for every setback that Allie has been through from halfway across the country. I cannot understand this kind of loss because I am only 20 and have only begun to dream about what my family will someday be like. But I know that I want it to be just like yours and I want my family to have the kind of love and support you all have for one another. Allie is amazing and I will continue to pray for her for as long as I need to. I know it's no comfort but maybe God saw a baby like Allie and was jealous that she was with you. He decided that he needed to have a little girl as beautiful and sweet in heaven with him. Good luck to you all and you will be in my every thought and prayer!

Just in Case You Ever Wonder
By Max Lucado

Long, long ago God made a decision-
a very important decision...
one that I'm really glad He made.
He made the decision to make you.
The same hands that made the stars made you.
The same hands that made cranyons made you.
The same hands that made trees and the moon and the sun made you.
That's why you are so special. God made you.
He made you in a very speical way.
He made your eyes so they would twinkle.
He made your mouth so you could smile (and raspberry).
He made your laugh so you could giggle.
God made you like no one else.
If you looked all over the world-
in every house - there would be
no one else like you...
no one with your eyes,
no one with your mouth,
no one with your laugh.
You are very, very special.
And since you are so special, God wanted
to put you in just the right home...
where you would be warm when it's cold,
where you'd be safe when you're afraid,
where you'd have fun and learn about heaven.
After lots of looking, God sent you to me. (where Allie is loved unconditionally)
And I'm so glad He did.
I'll never forget the first time I saw you...
your eyes were closed,
your fingers were curled in two little fists,
your cheeks were puffy and round.
I knew in my heart God had sent someone very
wonderful for me to take care of.
Your first night with me, I heard every sound
you made:
I heard you gurgle,
I heard you sniff,
I heard your litle lips smack.
I heard you cry when you wanted to eat,
and I fed you.

As you grow and change,
some things will stay the same.
I'll always love you.
I'll always hug you.
I'll always be on your side.
And I want you to know that...
just in case you ever wonder.

Remember I'm here for you.
On dark nights when you hear noises
call on me
When you see monsers in the shadows, call me.
On hard days, come to me.
come to me...'cause I love you.
And I always will, just in case you ever wonder.

Most of all, I'll teach you about God.
He loves you.
He protects you.
He and His angels always watch over you.

And God wants me to make sure you know
about heaven. It's a wonderul place.
There are no tears there.
No monsters.
No mean people.
You never have to say "good-bye"
or "good night,"
or "I'm hungry."
You never get cold or sick or afraid.

In heaven you are so close to God that He will
hug you. Just like I hug you. It's going to be
wonderful. I will be there, too. I provise.
We will be there together, forever.
Remember that....
just in case you ever wonder.

What a beautiful daughter you have! Her sweet expressions and little tongue sticking out are just precious. I am sorry you have all had to go through so much pain. But your love for each other is so wonderful. I work with teen parents in a very low income area and so many of these children (the teens from rough homes who are now parents themselves) have had just truly cruel and shocking childhoods of abuse and neglect. They have known less love and attention in their whole life than your little Allie gets in a day from you. I am so glad she does have her dignity and unconditional love and attention. That is such a miracle! Your love will carry her through whatever she has to go through. I saw a link to you from amitymama.com Peace and Love to your family

Dearest Scott family,

How incredibly strong you are! I sit here with tears just running down my cheeks and you seem so calm and so incredibly strong. I kiss my Allison a thousand times more a day (if that is possible) because of your story. I will help you celebrate Allie's life! Even though I have never met her, she has touched my heart and my life so deeply, words cannot express. We continue to pray for a miracle for your sweet angel girl. You three are truly an inspiration, thank you for sharing your story.

Love, Prayers and Hugs to you,
Jen, Scott and Allison

Jenny I have been sent updates from a friend a few times a week (He send it to a group of prayers) and this is the first time I have been to the web page I came because his first prayer request was for his grandson of 3 mouths with medical problems then your posting for the 8th.
The love and care being sent out to little Allie by total strangers and there familys is moving in ways only the Holy Sprit can work.
Lost with tears, for the strength and courage, Love and Peace flowing freely to each person tuched by your words of LOVE for your angle.
Thanks for letting her be a part of my life.

I just can't imagine the struggle your family has gone through. I will be praying for you and Allie. God has a special plan and purpose for us all, but sometimes it just does not make sense to us. After reading your posts, I just want to grab both of my children (9 years and 7 months) and hold on to them for dear life. Prayers are all I can offer right now since I am so far away, but prayer is a powerful thing. Your Allie is a sweet and strong beautiful angel. Enjoy your daughter and trust that God has his reasons and He will keep you strong.

Thank you for posting tonight Jenny. I've spent most of the afternoon checking (time difference here - lol!). I love how you want to celebrate Allie. I am sure so many people are richer for "knowing" her. I am so glad your friends can now hold her and be in the room with her. I can understand you wanting to stay in the hospital and not just for Allie but for you too - you have so much support there. As usual I don't know what to type now. No words are ever sufficient.

Dear Jenny, Andrew, and precious Allie,
I have been reading your journal entries every single night for over a month now. I can't begin to tell you how much your story has touched my life. Every time I feel discouraged or upset about something going on in my life I think of you and it gives me courage and faith that things can and will get better. I have a 3 year old daughter and an 18 month old son and I make sure to give them extra love and attention because of you! Every night before I go to bed I pray for Allie, I pray for some sort of miracle to keep your little angel by your side. After reading your post last night I haven't been able to stop thinking about Allie and praying that you are all okay. I am sending lots of prayers and hugs your way:)

Here I am, still awake to read tonight's beautiful post, having dawdled away my time at the computer until nearly midnight! So glad you broke the rules and had some together time with your new "family." Don't know if sleep will find you tonight (obviously you are NOT off to a good start if you are posting this late!) but it is good to know that your family is together regardless. Poor Dr. Lenarsky, he obviously underestimated his enemy in the 12 South mommies!

Please pass on thoughts and prayers for May and Ted's family. You are right that a mom cries for her baby no matter how old. Bless you for being there for them.

Jenny and Scott,
As I sit at my computer with tears rolling down my face, I am praying for you and your family, that God will take care of each of you in whatever way he chooses. You were given a miracle even if for only a short while, many people never feel what you have felt with Allie and many people never love the way you have loved with Allie, your lives are so much richer having had your miracle to call your own. May God continue to give you the strength that you show today, you will never know how you have touched so many lives, made so many of us stop and rethink our lives and taught us the greatest lesson of all, the lesson of unselfishness, unconditional love. Allie is such a beautiful little angel from Heaven. She is an inspiration to us all. No matter what happens in our lives, God had a plan for us all, and I know he will help you through whatever comes next. My prayers are with you each day. I will continue to pray for Allie, and continue to payer for you. My two daughters and I go every night to your site and look at Baby Allie's pics and we say a prayer for her. May God Bless your family from this day on. Thank you so much for sharing your strength with us. In Christian Love,

Well, that made some tears flow... Im not crying because Im sad, either. Im crying because of what you wrote, you wrote it with love and peace. I'm sure you are shaking inside, aching to watch her play and smile just once more. I mentioned to some girls on chat that as a child - I saw a duck, small baby duck in a man hole filled with water. I must have been around 8 yrs old or so. I love animals, to death! Well, being the animal lover I was I stayed there trying to help the little duck get out, reaching and grabbing for anything to save him. As time went by, the duck began to get further n further back to where it was impossible to reach him, yet I still tried and tried untill I could not see the duck any longer. I remember thinking that the duck was right there, right in front of my eyes and I couldnt do a damn thing to save it. Not one damn thing and all I wanted to do was hold that duck and let it FREE instead of dying. I know this little duck means nothing compared to Allie, but that is what it reminds me of. Allie sits before you, sleeping. Allie is your true love, and you sit there, reaching and hoping and not letting go even though she is just slipping away from you and there isnt a damn thing, not one damn thing you can do but pray and wish and dream. I break knowing you feel this way. She is right there, right there, ALIVE and you know you hve no power. Im just so damn sorry, so sorry. I love Allie - it just hurts that I will never meet this person in real life. This person who has changed me so much! AS YOU WROTE, as Ive been writing to you, Im not sure if you read what I wrote you or not but it was something like what Ive been saying - You have held an angel. You sure are right! All of gods children are angels, but there is something in that little Allie of yours that is so special.

Jenny - If you stopped posting, but just a few words we would all very much understand. We arent that important as the time you spend with your family. I wont lie, Im selfish and I want to know how Allie is doing, but if you ever feel its too much for you and you just want and need to be near Allie - Do what you must and be near her, we can all wait.

I love you Allie, I just truely love you, You are my ducky... I hope a miracle comes down and kisses you ever so gently.

Andrew, Jenny & Sweet baby Allie ~ I have been following your story for some time now and have become so attached to your family and especially your precious baby girl. The last few days have simply broken my heart and I can't stop crying. My baby is only a few months older than Allie and I simply can't imagine what you are going through or where you are finding your strength. Your family is something dreams are made of. Allie is such a beautiful soul and her pictures in your posts always make me smile. I have literally been crying since last night & I even dreamt of her and wish only peace for her and your family. I hate that your journey is leading down this road but I really like what you've said before about how she is just too perfect for this world. (although I too was hoping for a character flaw to allow her to stay) She has touched so many lives and so many hearts. So many people love your little girl and your family and wrap our cyber-arms around you all and send you love and peace. All our love. Kiss your angel for us, I know I'm holding my children a little tighter because of her and what she has taught me.

I can't even find the words to say how I feel all I know is I will keep that darling baby Allie in my prayers In my family when we have someone sick or need prayers we burn a holy candle night and day I will go and get one a light it for your babygirl. I had a little brother that was taken away from us when he was only 8 months old. It was really hard on my parents I was only 3 at the time. I also lost my dad to cancer a few years ago. I will be praying for your baby everyday and checking on her here too. You are very strong to be able to cope with this. May God Bless You and your family

Jenny,
After just reading your post, I can truly say that God's grace is with you! You are such a strong, loving mother! Allie has accomplished so much in her life. She has taught so many people to love deeper and focus on what really matters. Thank you for sharing your life with us. May God bless you and give you all peace!

My heart breaks and the tears flow as I read little Allie's updates. I am praying for a miracle for your precious baby. I hope, if it's God's will that Allie go home, that you, her parents, will take some comfort in the fact that your little angel has brought so many people together. She has touched so many lives and made so many people take the time to be grateful for their healthy children. I will think of Allie each time I hold my 14 month old daughter and remember how lucky I am to have her. God bless you all.

I left a message a little while ago but then found this and thought I would send it your way. I am like so many others and want to thank you for sharing your story and Allie with me. My daughter Emily has cancer and her and I sit and read the postings everynight together before she goes to bed and then we say a little prayer for your family and precious Allie.

God only takes the best

God saw she was getting tired
and a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around her
and whispered "come with me."

With tear-filled eyes we watched her
suffer and fade away.
Although we loved her deeply
we could not make her stay.

A golden heart stopped beating
precious hands put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.

I truly admire you, Jenny and Andrew, for your strength and bravery. Before I heard about your story I would look at my little girl and wonder, "How are we going to make it through this?" Now that I have been reading about your journey it has shown me to cherish everyday that I have with my little girl. I want you to know that my little Emily and I will continue to pray for your family everynight just as we have been for quite some time now. I hope that today was filled with pain free joy,happiness, love, hugs, kisses, and of course rasberries. I know that I don't personally know you but I love you guys and you are in my heart forever. God Bless and Amen.

I don't even have words for what I feel for you all. Sweet baby Allie has stolen my heart in just the short time I've been reading your website. She always looks like such a little diva in her snappy Gymboree outfits (I work at Gymboree so I love to see her as a little model). ;)

Today, my heart is broken for you and for Allie. Part of me wants to scream that you must KEEP TRYING and part of me knows that you have made the right decision. I still hope for a miracle but if that is not the way her little life will take you, I hope for a peaceful and loving sleep. I'm sure you will be able to give her that.

*Hugs and Kisses* to you darling princess.

I believe, Allie to be the only person, that I have not met and do not know, to make me cry as hard as I did when I first read your post yesterday. I teared up and my throat began to hurt. I had to excuse myself and went to got in the shower so that I could have a good cry. I don't believe I have EVER cried so hard for someone I have never met. My heart truly aches for you Andrew and Jenny. I wish I had words to comfort you. I realize that there is nothing I can possibly say to make things easier. Just know that your little girl has touched many hearts of thousands of people who are complete strangers. Know that your little girl has improved families and given many parents a greater appreciation for their own. Your little girl IS very special, which I know you already know, and for that you should be the proudest parents ever. I am truly heartbroken and sorry for what you have been through and continue to endure each day. I will continue to hope for that miracle, always. I look forward to reading your post for today. I hope today was a better day for all of you.

I can only imagine what a difficult day this must have been, knowing the decisions have been made and the die cast. I hope that everyone had a chance to sleep, that perhaps there were some moments together in the quiet too. The words are simply not good enough anymore, just know that so many keep you in their hearts, their thoughts and their prayers.

I don't know what more to say than my family and I are praying for your family and for little Allie's health. I see her sweet face and cannot imagine what you are all going through. I just know that your story has put perspective in my life and I do my best to now kiss and hug my 9 month old son more often. I do hope peace comes to you and yours soon and I am praying to God that he will spare Allie and send a miracle.

I am crying so hard right now that I can hardly see the keys. I am so sorry for what you are going through. I just lost my mother in law yesterday to cancer. She was diagnosed with it about 2 weeks ago. Over this past weekend she became very ill and couldn't speak or swallow. On Thursaday her kidneys shut down and on Thursday night she stopped breathing and had to be intabated(sp?). The docs told us yesterday morning that there was no more that they could do for her, we then decided to let her go. We talked to her and held her tight untill she was at peace. I hope that you enjoy your time with your beautiful baby girl. My thoughts are with you. Your daughter has changed my life, You are a beautiful family. Sincerly Cristin

Jenny & Andrew --
You are in my thoughts & prayers. A moment doesn't pass by that I am not thinking you of and Allie. I pray each day for her & for your family.
You have shared your sweet little girl with the world and I say thank you for touching our lives. I look at my son who is 6 months old each day and treasure each moment with him, even the not so pleasant ones. Because of you sharing your life with me, I have learned about the love a parent & child have for each other.
I will always think of each of you. I will always hold a special place in my heart for you & Allie.
I am praying for you.
Lots of love & hugs are being sent to you.

Thank you for sharing Allie with me and the rest of the world. She is truly a very special little girl. I am praying for the comfort of Allie. I also pray that God give you and your family peace at this terribly painful time. I just found your site today, and read every entry. I cried all day, wishing there was something more that could be done for your precious baby. I too lost a baby girl, and I pray God gives you all the same sense of calming peace when it is Allie's time that he gave me as I held my dying baby. Such a heartwrenching, difficult time, but also a relief in knowing that the suffering is over. May God Bless You All.

As I sit here and watch my daughter sleep, I weep and my heart bleeds for you. Even though I do not know you personally, I still want to say "Why?" and every child's favorite "It's not fair." I have no words to express the sorrow I feel for you, or to express how my heart is aching for you. Allie is a precious baby girl, and it tears me apart to read these words. She is an angel who has taught so many around the world to appreciate and love their families more. She has shown us that the important things in life aren't how much money we have, what kinds of jobs we have, or cars we drive. She has shown many across the world what the MOST important things in life are. I hate this disease, for what it has done to this beautiful little girl, for what it has done to your family. I think that it is such an injustice. Once, when I was little, a little girl that I didn't know was killed in a tragic accident. I was crying and I asked my Mama "Why?". She said, "Because God needs rosebuds for his garden, too." The only thing that I could say to that was "But why THIS rosebud, Mama?" As a child, I had to ask that question then. As an adult, I have to ask that same question. Why THIS Rosebud? I wish that I could heal little Allie, and spare you this pain. My heart goes out to you. You are an amazing family and I send my love to Allie, you, Andrew, and the rest of your family. I wish for the peace and dignity that you hope for. I will hold Allie and your family in my heart now and always. I just wish that I could make this all go away for you.

I have been reading Allie's story for the past few months. I always end my night with checking on her. Your post yesterday left me in tears, knowing that Allie will be ending her fight against this horrible disease. She is such a beautiful and strong little girl. I have developed such a place in my heart for Allie. She has helped so many people,including me, see that life is precious. She helps me make sure I give my little boy, Christian who is 8 months old, an extra hug at night. I found Allie's story from my message board, January Joys from MSN, formely Babycenter. All our thoughts and prayers have been with all of you. Andrew and Jenny I wish I could just give you a hug, because I'm so proud of your little one. She is a miracle. All my love.

I can not begin to imagine what you are going through and I will not tell you how sorry I am that this has happened to you. What I will say is this; From the time of conception, you have had a wonderful, loving daughter in your life. From all the pictures I have seen she is absolutely beautiful. Be thankful that you were given the time you have had with her and be thankful you were given her at all. While I do not understand all that you are going through I wish I could be there for you to help in any way that I could. I have a 2 year old daughter who happens to be a December 2002 baby. I wish I could share her with you, but I know that would not take the place of you precious, loving Allie. You must know she will always be with you and will be looking down on you every day of your life. I pray that you find the peace you need to survive this most difficut time. With all our love and prayers.

Allie has helped me "stop and smell the roses" and just be thankful for the things that I have. The things that are so easily taken for granted. You Jenny and Andrew are wonderful parents and Allie is so lucky to have you. Your family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Desirae

Dear Scott Family,
I felt compelled to write you tonight as I read your latest post. I, too, like many others have been following your story and I am simply amazed at the spirit and strength that God has provided all of you (especially your sweet Allie). I have a 7 1/2 month old daughter myself and your struggle has made me cherish her all the more. I continue to pray for your family and may the Lord continue to give you peace during this heartbreaking time. He gave her to you and may you now give her to Him, into His tender care. Allie is so incredible and she shines from the light and love of the Lord!

I too am at a loss....thank you for sharing Allie with me and my family. I am awestruck at your parenting and devotion for your child. I too am a better mother, wife, friend because of Allie... Your courage amazes me.

I wish you strength, comfort, and peace as you travel through the last leg of this journey. Savor and cheerish every moment with her.

Allie has changed the world in just nine months, that is more than any of us do in a lifetime.

Today on my way home from work I begged God grant you a miracle. I have read and reread your postings and I have more respect for you than anyone I have ever come in contact with. What more can be said for people that are so unselfish as to spare their child's dignity. I feel so priveledged just to be able to read your beautiful words. You can tell by looking at your darling daughter's pictures that she is closer to God than I could ever dream. She is an angel. All the teachers in my building have been reading about Allie and we have all shared tears for Allie and your family...we have all shared prayers for Allie and your family and if we all had one wish, we would wish that Allie gets a miracle. When your strength waivers know that there are thousands of people that want nothing more than to carry you through.

I have just read many entries on your site and seen many pics of your beautiful daughter and family. I cannot stop the tears from rolling down my face. I am amazed by the strength that you both have for your daughter. I am going to donate blood next week, and ask my husband to do the same, all in Allie's honor. I have a Dec 2003 daughter and cannot imagine the pain you are going through. I will be praying for baby Allie and for both of you. May God bless all of you, especially your sweet Allie.

From Aunt Jeri and Uncle Richard Lawson.

The computer is still out so they are not able to log on. They are not sure when the cable will be back up. They are braceing for another hurricane Ivan. Just watching right now. I called and gave them the update from yesterday's posting. I told them that I was posting in the guestbook for them since they can't right now. They send love and prayers your way. I will keep them up to date as best I can and let you know how they are doing in hurricane country.

I will attach my prayers for all of you as well. You have made the best choice for Allie. God just wants her back sooner than you are willing to let her go. She is very special to Him and to you.

I hate what it has done to your beautiful baby girl. I pray that ya'll will wake up one morning and she will be fine, and there will be no cancer anymore. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers everyday.

Jenny, Andrew, and Sweet Baby Allie,
My heart aches and tears fall everyday for all of you. I have followed your story for quite some time now. Your little Allie is truly a precious angel on earth. She is so strong and I definetly see where she gets it from. My daughter, Emily, is 5 years old and is battling cancer for the second time. I wonder as I read your story why God would put a child through the horror of this disease. I would like to express to you how much your story has touched my heart and the strength that you have given me to continue the good fight. Allie will remain in my prayers and in my heart for many years to come. As will you and Andrew. I don't personally know you but I feel drawn to you and your family. You have a special place in my heart and always will. I have been praying for a miracle for a long time, but should that miracle prayer not be granted I have also been praying for peace and a pain free life. I want you to also know that you and your family will be in my prayers always. God love you and so do I.
Dear God,
Please be with this family and help them through this horrible time. If precious baby Allie is meant to come to be with you then please take her gently. She deserves nothing less. She is a beautiful, strong, brave, and loving little girl. Be gentle and kind. God Bless and Amen.

My family has been following your story since early August--I learned about Allie on the DISboards from another poster. We have been reading your posts every day. By the time I was done with yesterdays, tears were streaming down my face. What difficult decisions that you had to make--ones that you should not have had to make. We just want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with all of your family--have been since we started reading about precious little Allie. Andrew and Jenny, may you remain strong for each other as you cherish the time that you have with Allie.

I just found out about your journey through this dark time tonight. I don't know you all in person, but after having spent over an hour reading various parts of your website, my heart is with you all tonight. I wish I could be there to touch Allie's beautiful face and whisper comfort to her. I wish I could hug Jenny and just be silent with her. I wish I could sit with Andrew and just watch his beautiful family with him. But you're there, and I am here, but Christ is bridging the gap between us. I'll be going to bed tonite, praying desperately that His Love should give you all strength. And Hope. Despite the grimmest prognosis, there is ALWAYS Hope. And if God chooses to take Allie home to be free from AML forever, that's still no indication that the devil has won. Whether she lives for 100 more years, or whether she goes to Heaven soon, she is amazing. Beautiful, brave, precious, and she is God's. Nothing will ever change that.

In Christ,
Holly

Allie-I was just told about your story today, and have spent a long time reading all of the beautiful things your mommy and daddy have said about you. Don't worry baby Allie - there will be no more owies, no more pain - I know there are angels looking down upon you right now, holding you in their wings, and taking all your pain away. You are a beautiful baby girl with a mommy and daddy that love you so very much. You are their gift from God, and one they will treasure forever and ever.
Jenny and Andrew - words cannot express how much my heart aches for you and your beautiful baby girl. We are strangers to each other, yet your life story has changed so many. As a mom, we share a special bond that cannot be broken. I feel like all children have become my children since my son Andrew was born (3-17-01), which is why I have become a volunteer for Make-A-Wish. I hear your story, and stories just like yours, and it rips my heart to pieces. I've cried for you today, and I know that there are more tears to come. It is so obvious from this guestbook just how many lives little Allie has touched in just her short amount of time here on Earth.
I was 7 months pregnant with Andrew when my grandmother passed away - I was very very close with her, and her passing hit me extrememly hard. There were nights, when the lights were dim and I would be rocking Andrew - I would look down at his beautiful face, so still and peaceful, and all of a sudden, he would smile.....a very happy, loving little smile - and I knew that my grandmother was there, kissing him, holding him, tickling him. I just knew it, I felt her presence.
It's taken me a long time to think of what to say, and this very well may not be my last entry in your book. I hope you can feel all the love and prayers being sent your way from all over the world tonight - you are strangers to so many, but it doesn't seem to matter. Allie has brought a new meaning to so many lives, and her courage and her love will live on forever.
So, at night, when you are sleeping, and you feel a tickle on your cheek..........it is your precious angel Allie, giving you butterfly kisses, and smiling her beautiful little smile.
My love, thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Thank you for sharing your story, and thank you for sharing Allie's life with all of us. I am a better person because of it, and I know so many others are too.
(this is an excerpt from a book called I Hope You Dance that I bought for my son when he was born):
Heaven (n.): (1) a place somehow high above the clouds, yet deep inside your soul; (2) a place of complete peace, of total and utter happiness; (3) a place that is greater than the sum of everything you will ever be or could ever imagine to be; (4) a place we all want to get to, but just not yet.........

Dearest Jenny, Right now my every thought is with you, Andrew and your Moms for Allie to have perfect peace in her parting from this world. She's been the bestest trooper throughout her long ordeal. For whatever unknown reason she was dealt this horrid AML, a near impossibility to conquer at so tender an age. I'll never understand why this happens. Dana asked why isn't life easier. My same question would be why is life so tough. But as you know, it sure as hell can be as you've lived this impossible dream at Allie's side for so many, many months now. Keep loving her physically and know that your deep and abiding love will never end for the rest of your lives. My love for her and each of you will continue for all time as well. Please never feel alone. Peace and love, Jill

Miami, FL - Thursday, September 9, 2004 10:09 PM CDT

I have been checking updates regulary. But tonite, I felt so compelled to sign your book. Now that I am here, I don't know where to begin. May God Bless Your Family! Let me tell ya, I had a son born with a debilatating illness, he was give nearly 0% chance of living 48 hours, He made it, but once again we were told he would not live a month at the most, so on and so forth. I couldn't even touch his little hand or hold him for two weeks and one day after he was born. He had surgery immediately at birth after being airlifted to a hospital 3 hours away, he remained hospitalized there for the first 6 months of his life, we were never giving hope of survival by doctors, but day by day he grew stronger and stronger. No child has ever lived this long with his condition, he does endure surgery every three months and other surgeries and treatments in between. He has multiple bouts of pnuemonia, infections, g-tubes, and more. Even "normal" Life is a daily struggle for him. Eating, breathing, etc. Guess how old he is now? He turned 4 years old in April. Although we still have no idea of his life span, he is our miracle! We were blessed to have him, no matter how long it is for. I know where you are coming from when you said that. There are so many times that I say to myself, how much can he possibly endure? Most adults couldn't go through what he has been through. I wish you could see him, he is such a trooper! I hope you don't think I am waving this all in your face, cause that is not what I was doing. I wanted you know that miracles can and do happen. I am true believer that all of God's children were put on earth, for a purpose; no matter how long we get to be with them. If you feel that you and your family and all others who are with you even, in thought have been touched in any way by your daughter, then God's plan was successful. It is all in the chain of love. I pray that you get the miracle you need. Whether it be the miracle of her life continuing, or the miracle of her sweet transition into the arms of God above.

I also want to say something else to you, the mom. The biggest comment I get from people, either strangers or family, is "you are the strongest woman" I can totally say it is amazing the strength you gain from your children. Sadly, I can now say that you ARE the strongest person I know of. I know how I personally feel about my son and his condition, I can't even phathom how you feel. My heart aches for you. If it helps any, one thing that I kept in my heart was, God will not give you more than you can handle. There are times when I was just get as close to him as I can and put my face next to his, just so I can breathe the same air he does, I know it sounds silly, but I want to share everything I possibly can with him. I want to be able to lock in every single memory I can into my mind. My point is, do what feels right to you no matter how silly it may seem. Even under the best of life's circumstances, we don't know how long we physically have here on earth.

I apologize for going on like this. It is just that on a certain level I understand your feelings, but yet I cant imagine how you must feel. Please know that I am definately thinking and praying for you. ((Love))

Jenny, Andrew & Allie,
I am so sorry for what you are going through. I have been praying for your family every night since I heard your story 7 weeks ago. It has become my daily routine to check your site every night & in the morning the first thing I do is give my 8 month old daughter Cassidy an update on her friend Allie. Thank you for sharing Allison with my family. Because of her I appreciate my daughter so much more. I appreciate everything so much more. Please know how many people Allie has touched. My heart aches for you & I pray for peace for your family.

My heart is breaking for you, I have cried so many tears, prayed so many prayers - I am so, so sorry that you have to go through this. I hate this horrible disease so much! As so many others have said it's hard to find the words to say but I think it is important to sign the guestbook and let you know that you are being thought of and prayed for. When my son was sick with leukemia I remember thinking that I would rather people say the wrong thing than avoid us and say nothing! I do pray that you really feel the prayers of all the people around the world faithfully praying for Allie. I am not going to have access to a computer for the next week and I will really miss coming to your site every day and seeing Allies beautiful face. Thank you for sharing her with all of us, I have been blessed by your family.
Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that you will hold this very precious family close in your arms, let them know how much you love them, carry them through this difficult time. Let every moment they have together be a joy. Please bring sweet Allie peace, happiness and comfort and give her many more wonderful days with her Mommy and Daddy.
In Jesus name, Amen

God bless you and your entire family.

To Allie's Mom and Dad,

I have been following your story through Babycenter updates, but only yesterday went to your site. I am deeply saddened by the recent change in Allie's condition. My only sibling, Christopher, was taken by this same terrible disease at the age of nine. I remember his last days vividly, 15 years later. It's a elite membership that no family wants to be part of. So while he was my brother, and not my child, I have witnessed your pain as I watched my parents say goodbye to my brother. My Jakob was born just two days after Allie's diagnosis, Jakob has needed a Caring Bridge wesbite too, and like you I'm also a teacher. Somehow I've felt that if we had met along the path of life, we would certainly be friends. I'm terribly sad to know of the heartache you are experiencing; our lives have been touched by your family.

Jenny, Andrew, Allie, I don't know if you realize it, but every person who reads your updates is now reaching out in some way - arms around your family - during this time of intense emotion. Please know that there are total "strangers" out here who love you three. Your streangth amazes me.

Jenny, Andrew, Allie & family, I haven't a clue what I want to say, other than Allie is a beautiful little girl, with an amazing smile and a strong spirit- you can see it in her eyes. I hope you are so proud of her, because you should be. I have a son who is just 8 days younger than Allie, and I can't imagine what you must all be going through. You will all be in my prayers and thoughts, and I will be praying for that miracle to happen.

There is nothing I can say that will ease the ache and pain in your hearts. I know this. But I felt compelled to write you a note so that you may know how your precious baby girl has touched my life (and many others) in ways I am unable to adequately articulate. Imagine someone so small has changed the lives of so many for the better. Allie is truely a miracle baby. She was sent to you in order to bring you joy and love, but she was also sent here to remind people that family and love are the most important things on this earth. Your daughter is my inspiration and my family thanks her for touching our lives for the better.
I will continue to pray for your family and your gorgeous daughter Allie.

I posted earlier, but I just couldn't help but post again. I keep checking for Allie's update tonight, but nothing yet and I am afraid for her. How appropriate, on the radio is the song "You raise me up" I am in tears just listening to the words and thinking how they apply to you and Allie. I wish Allie and her friends on the floor no pain and miracles!! I don't know what else to say. I wish I could send Fairy Dust that would make everything better. Please know that eventhough we don't know her, we love her and care a great deal about her. We could only imagine your pain and heartbreak and if I could take all the hurt and sadness away, I would in a heartbeat! Sweet Dreams, Allie!

I have just heard about your precious Allie a couple of days ago, and i havent been able to stop crying. You have such a beautiful family!! The only thing that i could possible say to you is that I have included you and your family into my thoughts and prayers. I couldnt even imagine what you are going threw right now. I am a diabetic so some days for me are really hard, like right now i am fighting a nasty cold and my 17 month old son is screaming in my ear right now, but all that sounds like a day at the park when i look at your story. I have been giving my son alot of extra kisses and doing alot of extra stuff with him that i would normally say, "I will play with you after im done with laundry or cooking or cleaning" but now all that can wait a little while longer while I read one extra book to him, or play one extra game with him. God said when we were all born, we were born dieing, we all are not promised tomorrow, and alot of us use the phrase, I will do it tomorrow, but your story im sure has made alot of people rethink that phrase and have started to do it now instead of tomorrow. I know that even thou i have only know Allie for a couple of days she has made me into a better person. I hope that all the test will come back with a great big smiley face on it!! There are miricales out there, And i have a prayer out there that one will happen for Allie. May God be with you all during this trying time. I will never forget Allie. Please keep us all posted and remember your not in this alone, You have gained alot more family members.

Dearest Jenny, Andrew and precious baby Allie-
I have searched long and hard today for the right words to express my deepest gratitude to you. I was certain that when my grandparents passed one by one that then I was appreciating people I love and life as I knew it. Then when I suddenly lost my father, I was certain that it was at that moment that I knew how to appreciate people I love and the life I was living. Since becoming a mother, I thought that it was parenthood that had brought me to a more profound appreciation still of life and the dearest people to me. You should know that your lives and your story have brought me and countless others to a place where the word appreciation does not suffice. Very simply, as if motherhood, and life's lessons did not compell me enough, I know better how to love my child and my husband and all of those dear to me well. May you all feel comfort and peace in the love that flows to you from the thousands of people who hold you dear in their hearts and minds.
Peace,
Julie Mathews

No words can ever be said to make a situation like you and your family is facing seem any less painful. Your daughter is beautiful, as are all angels placed in our care. I sit here watching my own 6 1/2 month old son sleeping peacefully and I can't help but thank God for the privilege of having him in my life. I am sure that you as a mother know that feeling. I pray that Allie finds comfort and peace during her struggle. And I pray that you and your family find the peace in knowing that on earth as she will be in Heaven someday, Allie is truly God's angel. Laugh when you can, cry as often as needed, love like there is no tomorrow, and be thankful for each moment surrounded by those you love most dearly. You are in my prayers.

A lot of people have said how helpful your words are to them and to their families, and I feel the same. But I also hope that those same words can be some comfort to you and your family, as you look back on the love and joy that Allie brought to your lives. I think you have a gift for sharing Allie's love with the world, and because of this her memory will live on forever, we will remember her each and every day.

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. -Kahlil Gibran

I am sorry that she will be returning to be with God in Heaven at such an early age...but I guess now is the work that He had planned for her. Angel Allie will always have a special place in your heart, and will watch over you from Heaven all of the days of your life. And one sweet day, you will be reunited with her in Heaven. Thank you for sharing her courageous struggle with us. Blessings and love!

I found your story last night on the Babycenter website, and I wanted you to know that I cannot stop thinking about the struggle you are all going through right now. I wish there were words that I could say that would make this any easier, but of course, there aren't. I want you to know that there are many faceless people right now reading Allie's story and being touched in a truly meaningful way. We all get stressed out with our jobs, we get angry at other drivers on the road, but your story puts everything into perspective. There is nothing more valuable than the love of a family. You exemplify that, and I am so thankful that you are serving as a reminder to everyone out there that family is the most important thing we possess. I have a daughter who was born December 16th, 2003. When I read Allie's story, it really hit me on a very personal level what you are going through. You have the support, love, and prayers of my family and so many other families across the country. Please know that although some of us are far away from you, we are standing next to you with our support. God Bless.

I will hold my children tighter tonight after reading your posts. You have forced me to re-evaluate my priorities, my needs, my wants. Thinking about all that you have suffered and all that you have given to your precious baby girl has been life changing for me. You have inspired me to be a better mother, wife, friend. I love your little angel and I love you. Thank you for opening your life to strangers like me whose eyes need to be opened. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I have been following Allie's story, and cheering and crying with you for awhile. After yesterday's entry, about stopping the medication, I went in and rubbed my babies and prayed for Allie, for you, for my children, and every other child facing problems like Allie. Tonight I offered up the prayer request at a Chaplain's wives get together that I attended. My heart is breaking for you, and I won't pretend to know how you are feeling. I pray that Allie stays as comfortable and pain free as possible and that you continue to have the strength to get through each day. All of you are heros in my book. {{{HUGS}}}

Rochester, NY USA - Thursday, September 9, 2004 8:43 PM CDT

I've been reading your posts for some time now, Allie is the closing chapter of my day, every day. My heart is breaking for you now, my family doesn't even ask me why I've been crying anymore, they know! I read last night's post over and over, then I crawled in bed with my precious daughter (5) and I listened to her breathe and stroked her arm and kissed her hair and I thanked God for her and my son (20). I can't say I know how you feel, but I feel so desperate for you, I can only imagine what you must be going through.
Like so many others who have signed your guestbook, I pray for a miracle every day, I pray for comfort and peace for you all, and I thank you. I thank you with all my heart for sharing your beautiful Allie with us, your words have done more to help me keep life in perspective than anything else that has touched me. I look deeply at my daughter now, I pay real attention to her beautiful smile and I try to lock those images in my mind forever. I thank you for teaching me about true love. No matter what you're feeling, you're first priority is loving that baby!
Jenny, Andrew and Allie, you are the most amazing people I've ever come to "know" and I know that you're suffering terribly now, but the blessings that you have so graciously given to so many will come back to you tenfold. Jeremiah 1:5-10 talks about God knowing Jeremiah before he was formed in his mother's womb and setting him apart to be a prophet to the nations. When Jeremiah was afraid, God told him that He would "rescue him from trouble" (but not insulate him) and see him thru it and that He "put His words in your mouth." I believe that God chooses prophets now too, and I believe that you have blessed us all with your words about precious Allie. Look at how many people she has touched all over the world.
I'm so sorry for you pain, but grateful for your message. I just want to put my arms around you and hold you close. You touch my life every day I will forever be a better person because of it.

I read the posts every day. Today I received an email from a gospel singer Janet Paschal, with words to a song she's written. I want to share those lyrics with you. We are praying for all of you during this difficult time.

I Wish You Enough

For every beginning, something is ending
Everything changes but change
Funny how life is forever amending
The plans that we all pre-arrange
So laugh when you can, cry when you must
I pray you'll always live deep
Never forget, sometimes you must
Drink from the bitter to savor the sweet

I wish you love, I wish you joy
I pray that happiness camps outside your door
I hope you win, I hope you lose
I pray you'll realize that both are good for you
May you never have too little or too much,
I wish you enough

So savor the journey, live every moment
Hold fast to what you believe
You will discover a strength in your weakness
In ways you could never conceive
God speed, my friend
Peace and good will
I fondly bid you adieu
Always remember, as long as you live
I will be somewhere praying for you.

I'm visiting from the April 03 and July 04 BC Boards and can't get Allie out of my head this evening. DS (17 months) was completely out of control today and tonight -- I fear the Terrible Twos are upon us. DD (7 weeks) has a tender tummy (aka gas) most evenings, and tonight was no exception. As I sat on our couch feeling sorry for myself, watching the NFL's opening night game (where DH is and where I thought I should be), your beautiful Allie popped into my mind for the 30th time today. Reality struck. I have followed Allie's story from the beginning. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing her with me. She is a beautiful little girl and I offer prayers and more to you. Allie is a true Angel.

I have been reading your journal entries for several months and your family has touched my heart deeply. You are so strong to be able to share Allie's story with all of us. You have made me a better mother to my 11 month old son, I have realized that the things I think are terrible are really nothing at all. I have been praying for Allie and your family and will continue to do so. You have a very precious daughter and I know she will wear her angel wings well! May God bless you each and every day.

God looked around His garden
and saw an empty place.
He then looked down upon the Earth
and saw your tired face.

He put His arms around you
and lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew that you would never
get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough
and the hills hard to climb.
So He closed your weary eyelids,
and whispered, "Peace Be Thine."

It broke our hearts to lose you,
but you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you Home

Atlanta, GA - Thursday, September 9, 2004 8:03 PM CDT

I just found your story yesterday (Sept 8) via a BabyCenter.com board, and I started reading through all of the past journal entries. Then I got to the most recent one posted that day and couldn't help but shed many tears for you and your beautiful Allie. As I had read up to that point, I found myself hoping and praying for a miracle, and I will continue to do so even as you stop treatment for your precious daughter.

I want to thank you. Thank you for sharing your story with all of us, for sharing your pains, your joys, your hopes and your fears. Your words were so touching and moving, and I've felt so much emotion for you - a family I've never met. Life seems so unfair at times. I can't begin to imagine what your family is feeling now and has been feeling over the past several months.

I want you to know that reading your story has already made me a better mother to my children. As I read, my children asleep in their rooms, I couldn't help but think of all the trivial things I have let frustrate me, or all the times I haven't given my 21 month old son my undivided attention because I've been focused on chores, his baby sister, or making dinner.

After reading your journal, I looked at both of my children differently today. I looked at them as they are right here, right now, and felt such a surge of love for them and appreciation that I have them. In the days to come, when I'm tired or frustrated and not being the best mother I can be, I plan to take a deep breath and think of your little Allie and realize just how lucky I am.

Every moment with our loved ones is a gift to be treasured. We never know when they will be taken from us. All we can do is live in each moment and love them as hard as we can. I wish you and Allie much love and peace, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I don't even know what to say, just know that you have yet another family who considers you "cyber-family" after reading your updates for months. I have volunteered to collect money for the lukemia society and will donate money in Allie's name. You are the strongest, most loving family I have ever "known". Allie is blessed to have you both as parents and all of the love that you give her day in and day out. Love to you all...

Jenny & Andrew,
My heart aches for you and for your sweet Allie. I can not count the tears I have shead for the 3 of you. She is such a beautiful baby girl. My son will be 2 next week, he gave the pictures of Allie kisses. He kissed me while I cried for Allie. Your story of Allie has touched my heart and makes me a better, more patient mother to my beautiful boy. I pray for Allie, you and your family everyday.

Dear Jenny, Andrew...
You can feel the collective heart break as you read through this guest book. I think Allie must be one of the most loved babies in the world. And she is so fortunate to have the two of you. You are doing what is best for her even though it breaks your heart to do it. That is love.

Allie will find peace there is no doubt about that. We pray that you and Andrew will also be comforted.

Lots of love,
Erin Kelly, Edmond Hetu and baby Madeleine (December 2003 BabyCentre Board)

Thank you so much for sharing Allie with us! I have been deeply touched by your beautiful baby girl. I have faithfully followed your story from day one. I found out about Allie from babycenter. I think about you, Andrew, and baby Allie all the time. As a mother myself my heart aches for all of you. I am praying for your family during this difficult time!

Dear Jenny,
I stopped to wonder why Allie is so loved by me and thousands of people around the world. I came up with a few answers. First she is adorable, a beautiful mix of both you and Andrew. Second your words about her, about her struggle with this horrid disease has brought her off the screen, she is not just a picture to all of us readers because of your beautiful words. She is each of our daughters or sons, our nieces, nephews or grandchildren. When you write of her she is. NO matter what happens she will remain forever. I pray like thousands world wide for a miracle, but no matter what Allie is a miracle.

Jenny and Andrew,
Your love for your daughter is so evident. She has never known hate only love, love from conception, love forever. She has known more love in her life than many world wide will ever know. She has touched more people than most will ever touch. Please know that what you have given with this website is the greatest gift.

Allie,
Be strong sweet girl. Fight to be with your Mommy and Daddy. You are so strong and brave. Your grace and courage, beauty and strength are evident to each of us through your Mommy's words.

God,
Please help this family.

Dear Jenny,
Your journal entry yesterday (sep 8) took my breath away, and I can't believe I have shed this many tears for a family I have never even met....your story has truly touched my heart. Tonight I give special thanks for my three little boys, and for our health. I pray of course, for a miracle for Allie, but also that you and Andrew find peace and comfort in the coming days and weeks. My heart breaks for you and I know God will hold you in his hands, and your wonderful family will sustain you. God bless Allie, and you two wonderful parents! You and Andrew have given Allie enough love to last a lifetime!
Sending you wishes for a miracle, and peace...

You are living every parents' worst nightmare and sharing the intimate details with the world. Over the past few months we have all become your extended family and we are all feeling utter despair and sorrow - around the world, as it appears "our" little Allie may soon take on her angel wings. Little Allie and the Scott family have taught us all lessons on love and family. The Scott family has "struck home" the cancer and children issue; you read about a child having cancer but Allie has made it real to the hearts and souls around the world. Through Allie and this website and others on caringbridge.com, I have become more aware of childhood cancer and how this frigging disease is a living hell for families and killing our babies. I know that her story will live on. Jenny, I am certain people around the world will go out and donate blood, sign up for the bone marrow registry, participate in events such as Light the Night and Team in Training and they will do this and remember Allie! Give Little Allie lots of hugs and kisses - the whole world loves that little munchkin!!! Peace be with you and God bless.

I know you and your PAL class shared many tears when you first found out about Allie's condition. My PAL class this year has been reading your updates as often as we can-we were also planning on walking for Allie. I know it must be hard to even contemplate losing her... I do fully believe that the words in the poem you got saying in so many words-Allie wanted to come, she knew there would be pain and an early departure, but she wanted to meet her family more than all of the pain in the world, but now it's her time to fly away...
Allie and her family have and will stay in my prays
with much love

Dear Scott Family,
Like many others, I've started to sign your guestbook a number of times but couldn't find the words. I'm one of the December 2003 mommies from Babycenter, and although I don't post there often, I visit the site every day, and I've been following your story since Allie was first diagnosed. I check your site every morning and every night. My baby boy Aidan was born 12/31, just two weeks after Allie. I think of your family all throughout my day. I can't imagine what you're going through. This morning I was laying next to Aidan as he drank his bottle, and he began caressing my face. It brought tears to my eyes as I looked at his little face and thought of Allie doing that to you all as you lay with her. Allie is such a special child who has brought so much to so many families throughout the world. Your enormous strength as parents is inspiring, and I admire you so very much. You are in my thoughts and prayers, always.

I am so sorry this is happening to Allie. I am doing a Light the Night walk in PA in honor of a friend's mother, but I will definitely have Allie on my mind too.
I pray that God give you strength and comfort at this difficult time. I also pray that Allie receives comfort as well.

Dear Scott Family: I can sympathize with much of your situation- my 22 month old daughter Jenelle has a very rare and devastating form of Epilepsy called Lennox Gastaut Syndrome. Her prognosis is that of "short" life expectancy and they say most patients do not survive past age 5. That seems like decades in comparison to your sweet Allie. Though our daughters are fighting different monsters, I know what the power of prayer can do, and I offer Allie my prayers for remission, and offer you both my prayers for continued strength. Your story has touched my heart and I think you all are incredibly brave and strong. Praying for your miracle and thinking of you all with love and support.

Dearest Andrew, Jenny, and sweet Allie,
I have sat down to sign your guestbook countless times, but the words are just lost on me. I wanted to share with you that my husband, Levi, and girls, Faith 4 and Alorah 2, pray for your daughter each night at night before they go to bed. I go to bed and read your site and wake in the morning and do the same. I hug my children tighter, sing to them more, read to them more, enjoy them more just because I stubled on your site and learned of Allie. She has touched countless people, including our small family of 5. So deeply. I look at my baby boy, 10 weeks old, and I think of Allie and your struggles. I just wanted you to know how powerful your story is, and thank-you from the depths of my soul for sharing your family with us..thank-you, thank-you, thank-you. May you find peace and comfort durring this excruciating time. Our prayers will forever be with you.

Scott family,
As I sit here feeling every bit of sympathy and sorrow for what you are going through I wonder why God chooses those He does. He must have seen a strength in you that not many people have. He has sent you a beautiful daughter. He knows that you will give everything you have for her and you will cherish every moment you get! God bless you and your family, be strong. You will always be in my thoughts.

I came across your site by accident a few days ago. I have said many prayers for God to bring you a miracle for Allie. I have cried thinking of the fear you all are facing. I'm so sorry that things like this have to happen. Please know that I'm hugging my three children longer since I came across your family. Maybe it wasn't an accident as I first thought... The only verse I can think of at the moment to help you is Psalm 56:3 "When I am afraid, I will trust in You." Kiss that baby for us... May God bring you peace.

Andrew, Jenny, & Allie-

We have followed your family's journey since we met Jenny in the hallway outside the PICU the day Allie was diagnosed and the day our daughter Zoe Beth had her tracheostomy. We continue to pray for strength for you and with all that we have been through with Zoe Beth during these first 7 months of her life, we still cannot begin to understand the pain and heartache you must feel.

We will continue to pray for you to find strength in these next days/weeks/months/years. And lastly, we pray for the miracle that only God can provide now. If that does not happen, we pray for a painless and peaceful journey for Allie as she earns her angel wings and her broken body is made perfect again.

No poems... no songs... simply heartfelt sympathy. Allie's smile is one of the sweetest smiles I've ever seen & I am one of the many blessed to "know" Allie through your website, which is a testament of your unconditional love for your daughter. I will continue to pray that God will hold all of you in His hands & guide you through this mysterious journey that we call "life." Please give Allie a gentle hug & loving kiss from me. God Bless all of you.

Scott Family,

I have posted several times before, but I cant help but post again. Thank you for sharing precious Allie with us. Like thousands all over the world, your beautiful daughter has taught me how to love again. I was not raised in an affectionate lovey household, but thanks to baby Allie my children will be. I realize now how precious life is, and how much it is taken for granted. Everytime I look into my baby girls eyes, Sarah is 7 1/2 months, I see Allie, and the tears start to fall. Allie has made me see how truly blessed my family is.

Also, thank you Andrew and Jenny. You have shown the world what unconditional love should look like. You have taught us how strong two loving parents can be when faced with such unbearable heartache. You have made all of us see what kind of parents we should be!

I do not know you personally, but I want to say thank you again, and my heart, my soul, my love, and my prayers will be with your entire family.

Scott Family,

I just wanted to let you know that I am praying for you and for the horrible situation you are in. I have been reading your updates all afternoon and I just can't imagine being in your situation. Thank goodness that God is good and gives us strength when we need it. I will continue to pray for your strength and ability to cope in the upcoming weeks and months. I know that in hard times it is hard to hear and listen to words of encouragement because you've heard it all before and nothing is taking the pain away from you or your child but I wanted to quote Lamentations 3 for you:"God's loyal love couldn't have run out, his mercifullove couldn't have dried up. They're created new every morning. How great your faithfulness! I'm sticking with God(I say it over and over).
....Why? Becasue the Master won't ever walk out and fail to return. If He works severely. He also works tenderly. His stockpiles of loyal love are immense. He takes no pleasure in making life hard, in throwing roadblocks in the way." These last 2 years have been tough for us losing a baby at 6 months pregnant and then delivering a little boy who has had numerous breathing issues, nothing compared to what you are going through, but I wanted to let you know we are just another group praying for you and your family

Jenny, Andrew, and Darling Allie,
I have signed this guestbook before, but after reading your post today I had to write again.
I have never witnessed such love and faith as I have since "meeting" your family several months ago. You're strength is an inspiration, and the love and support you have for each other is amazing! I keep you all in my thoughts and prayers daily, and I'm still praying for a miracle. That little girl is so important to so many of us. I can't imagine how difficult it was to make the decisions you have had to make, but I'm glad you are finding some peace in that. Allie is so lucky to have known nothing but unconditional love!
Thank you for sharing your lives with us, and thank you for making me realize the true meaning of love, faith, and family!
God Bless you!

You have changed my attitude towards motherhood. I can no longer tell my kids (4 years and 17 months) to hold on or wait a minute. You have taught me that every minute is precious.

I can't help but stare at Allie's little eyes in the pictures you have up on your web page. They are just an amazing wonder, so much love and affection for those around her. I pray for her and the family everyday. I pray now for these precious days ahead, and for peace for all of you.

Wow!!!

I have found your website through another website and am just gobsmacked. I sit here teary eyed reading all of your good and bad days, laughter, smiles, and many tears. Your daughter is such a lovely little girl and maybe a miracle will happen and she will have a full and healthy recovery. I can only sit in astonishment and think of you and your family in what tough times you have been through and the many struggles you may have in the future. You have touched my heart and made me appreciate my 3 little midgets so much more, I am lost for words.... just know someone is thinking of you and spreading your words from the other side of the world! I know that Allie has had a tough time but I am thankful she was here at all, she will find peace, you have been given a gift, but some gifts we can't keep, we just have to have beautiful memories... it is better to have loved, then to have never loved at all...

Thinking of you

kia kaha (be strong)

We, all of Allies friends everywhere, are feeling the same grief, hope and countless other emotions. What more could I say? Even if it is the same, hearfelt message, I need to say it.....hug her for me and I pray that she will have a peaceful journey. You all have become a part of my life.

Allie is touching so many people's hearts and lives. Thank you for sharing her with all of us. I will pray for your family's strength in all of this and that Allie does not suffer pain. I can't express in words how I feel for you and your family. I just wish I could "post" a hug to you all. God bless.

Your beautiful little girl and her journey has taught me to appreciate my daughter, my family, my life in a way that I cannot describe.

My heart goes out to the family of Allie & all those who have been touched by such an event. I was directed a few weeks ago here by a woman who's daughter was born roughly the same time as yours. I cannot begin to say that I understand the pain you all must face, but take hope in that you have loved Allie more than some see in all their lives, and that she is loved by so many who will not ever meet her. Each time I hold one of the girls, I think of Allie, and I hope for her recovery. May god bless and watch over you during these hard times. Should you ever need anything, reach out, for there are many here & abroad who will help, myself included. With love and prayers.

Dear Andrew, Jenny, and Beautiful Angelic Allie,

I don't really don't know the right words to say as I have never been in your situation, I just want you to know that each and every one of you are in my thoughts and prayers.
I look at my sons now with more love than I ever have before, thanks to the words that you write about Allie each and every night. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being the best parents in the word to that little girl. She is truley blessed to have you as you are to have her. I know that she has only been here a short while but just look at all of the lives that she has touched she is truley remarkable. I don't even know her, I live in Virginia, but I know that because of her I hold my sons closer and a little tighter now. Because of her I don't say no to the little things, because of her I don't stress doing the laundry, dishes, or vacumming the floor especially if that time can be sent with my kids.

May God Bless your family and may you be at peace with whatever happens in the minutes, hours, days, weeks, and months from now.

Dearest Scott Family,
I wanted to say something yesterday but I was too numb, utter devastation. I can't comprehend how you are feeling as Allie's parents. As many guests have said in the past, Allie has touched so many lives, she through your words Jenny have made me and I'm sure millions of others better people. I hope and pray her work is not done here on earth. I pray for a miracle. I'm walking the LTN in Del Mar, CA in honor of Allie, never thought I would be doing something like this ever. Through Allie miracles have happened and will continue to no matter what happens. Thank you for sharing your darling, sweet, adorable, fiesty, beautiful, daughter with us, I will forever be in your debt.
Love,
Miki
PS. You may want to play some Baby Einstien for her, even while she's sleeping, the music works wonders. I just remember your post about her smiling for that silly goat!!

You seem so at peace. I really admire you for your honestly. We love you guys so much.

Please know that if there is anything you need, anything we all can do, to let us know. If you need money, we'll raise it. If you need food, we'll make it. If you need comfort, just read these posts that keep pouring in. I've never heard of a family who has so many people who care about them so greatly.

We are praying for Allie's peace and happiness, as well as yours. She is an angel.

I've been thinking about Allie all day today. I keep thinking how wonderful it would be to check her site and see that, somehow...miraculously, her whites would be up some and her blasts would be lowered. That her body decided to do what medicine was unable to do...fight and rid her body of her leukemia. I know it's unlikely that will happen, but I hope and pray for a miracle like that. If that were to happen, that's exactly what it would be. I've read about women defeating breast cancer through the power of prayer and their belief in God. I truely hope that the power of prayer, and everyone rallying for Allie, can help overcome this dreadful disease, and that a true life miracle occurs.

Jenny, Andrew and Allie, It's Kristen from Sept 00/02 at BBC. I have signed the guestbook a few times. I know you have heard this a lot, but I wanted to let you know how often I think of your family, especially sweet Allie. I truly appreciate my own family more, and make a conscious effort not to take anything for granted. I have a dear friend Mark, we lost him to Leukemia in 1998. He was 18. I have dreamt of him every night this week. This is a poem we read at Marks Funeral. It's Beautiful. I hope it gives you strength, as it did us...

I'll lend you for a little while, A child of mine, He said.
For you to love her while she lives, and mourn when she is dead.
It may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or three, but will you, till I call her back, take care of her for me?
I'll send her charms to gladden you, and shall her stay be brief, You'll have her lovely memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise you she will stay, as all from earth return
But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to Learn.
I've looked the wide world over, in my search for teachers true,
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes, I have selected you.
Now will you give her all your love, not think the labour vain, nor hate me when I come and call, to take her back again.
I fancied when I heard you say, Dear Lord, Thy will be done, for all the joy our child shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run. We'll shower her with tenderness, and love her while we may, and for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay. And should the Angels call for her much sooner than we'd planned, we'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand.
(author Unknown)

May the love and support of the thousands of us around the world hold you up.

I learned of your daughter from another website. I just want to let you know that my heart goes out to you and that I'm praying for you. I prayed for your dear daughter's comfort, for no more attacks on her little body, and I prayed for a miracle from God that she would be healed but if not, for a sweet homecoming for her. May God's peace surround you and your family.
Blessings & Prayers,
Nancy

My heart goes out to you and your family. Your daughter Allie is a beautiful little girl. As I read your entries there are days of great hope and days I cry. I think that you are such a strong person to be enduring all this with Allie. She is so lucky to have such a loving family through all this. You remind me to hold my daughter and love her because life is too short. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

You do not know me. I recieved an email from a friend of your story and was asked to pray for you. I pray that God comforts you in this time of need and that you accept what has already been decided by him. I pray that Allie is without pain and recovers from this horrible disease. I praise your courage and love for your daughter that you had the strength to share her life with so many people. God Bless you all and everyone that has prayed for your family at this incredibly sad time in your lives.

Florence , Al USA - Thursday, September 9, 2004 4:48 PM CDT

Scott & Jenny,

Keep the faith and do not give up. This disease is not of God it is of the Devil and we can defeat the Devil with the power of God. God said if you believe on him and your ways are pleasing to Him you can ask what you will and it will be given to you. I know my ways are pleasing to Him and I ask that Allie's body be healed from the root of the diease and the name of Jesus. I believe it is done and you believe it also. When 2 or 3 touch and agree on 1 thing without wavering (with out doubt)God answers. I will keep the faith if no one else will. I declare Allie's body healed by the power of God. Amen

Hey, we girls sure miss seeing you around at church. This is the first time I've been to your site, and I finally am understanding some things about whats going on. I only have an idea of how you feel. I have lost my mom to breast cancer and my aunt to the same thing as Allie. I don't know if it is the same as what you are going through or not, but I have a feeling it is. I was looking down the list and I noticed not a lot of kids from church had signed it, so I decided it might brighten your day if I did. The whole youth group is stilling praying for you and your family. I love you as a sister in Christ, Megan.

Words cannot express my thoughts and desires for you and your family. I have been praying for Allie for several weeks now. I will continue to do so in hopes of a miracle. I do believe a previous poster was correct in saying Allie IS the miracle. She has touched the lives of so many who will never be the same after hearing her story by opening their hearts to her and to your family. Thank you for sharing her with us. She is an amazing little girl and you are an amazing family!

I ordered a bendable giraffe and intended to send to Allie. After reading one of your earlier posts about how many toys she's received and how you donated Sophie to her Clinic, I decided I'd keep it. I'm glad I did. I have a reminder of Allie in my home. I will keep it and never let it go. I saw it yesterday and immediately thought about Allie. I've named it Allie.

You're in my prayers.

Dear Jenny,
It breaks my heart what you are having to go through. I have only been following your story for the past few weeks now, but feel so close to you because not only am I the same age as you with a little one of my own (13 months), but I am physically close to you as well. I live in Little Elm and often drive down Central past Medical City. In fact I drove past it today, looked over and thought of you all, and nearly broke down in tears. It is heart-wrenching what you are having to endure. Do know that Allie has indeed touched the lives of so many--count us in! I hug my son tighter each day, cherish each moment a little more because of all that you have said and done for your precious Allie. I know that God is sovereign, but it is hard to understand the suffering of a little child. It just isn't fair. We would take their place in a heartbeat if we could, wouldn't we?! I was listening to a Chris Rice song (Untilted Hymn) in the car and thought of Allie. If her time comes sooner rather than later, I send the last verse out to her:
And with your final heartbeat, kiss the world goodbye, and go in peace and laugh on Glory's side. Fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus and live!

I am praying that the three of you are able to have wonderful moments together and that her ongoing journey is peaceful. I have been praying for a miracle for Allie, and am beginning to believe that in fact she IS the miracle. I am blessed to have been able to follow and continue to follow her story. My God keep you all and may your families and friends offer you the comfort that you all need at this time.

I think about Allie everyday and am hoping for a miracle for your sweet baby.

Yesterday I took my son for his 2 yr old checkup. The Dr let him pick out a sticker for being good, and he picked the giraffe sticker. I started to cry and thought of your sweet Allie.

Thank you for letting us follow your story and for touching our lives.

What a hard thing for you to have to go through. But God is in the healing business. And He WILL heal her, whichever way He decides.

You will be in my prayers. God bless you all....

There isn't much I can say that hasn't already been said. Allie is beautiful and precious. I hug my two sons (2 and 4 years old) tighter at night and we have added Allie to our nightly prayers.

Allie will forever be beautiful and precious in our hearts.

I wanted to let you know your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I have been following Allie's journey for quite some time and was praying that she would soon be on the solid road to recovery.

I admire your strength and courage in all of this and how during all of this, you still kept us all updated as to what was happening. It is not easy seeing a loved one through a serious illness or accident, I know as I had cared for my father for the past year following a serious accident until he suddenly passed away last weekend. But I can't imagine how difficult it must be to see your child go through this.

While her life on Earth may be short, her life in your memories will live forever. You have been there for her every step of the way and made decisions only in her best interest and provided love in a way that can never be measured.

I wish you peace in the days, weeks, months and years to come. I will continue to think of your family often and pray for you.

God Bless You.

Dear Jenny and Andrew,
I just learned of Allie today and in a matter of hours, I've fallen in love with her. My 2 yr old daughter has as well, touching the computer screen saying "beautiful baby". I am so sorry for what you are going through but so thankful that Allie has a mommy and daddy who love her so very much. If there is such thing as an angel, Allie is one and has many hearts adoring her.
I sent an email to Nana...

Dear Allie, Jenny & Andrew,

We've been following your story and you are constantly in our thoughts and prayers. Before our daughter was born three months ago, we made the decision to bank her cord blood. After hearing your story and learning more about leukemia, we're happier than ever we took the opportunity, and we encourage others to do the same. Maybe it will save a life someday

Many people spend their whole lives trying to find away to change the world, and Allie's managed to do it in only a few short months. It's truly amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your story and touching our lives.

Stay strong and take care of yourselves.

Dearest Jenny, Andrew and Allie,

My father in law and I had a conversation about his near-death experience as a younger man. He had a really hard time putting things into words but I remember him saying that he felt a very strong pull towards the warmth and love and incredible comfort of the light that was shining through an opening to his left, through which what he thought were souls were passing, two by two. He wanted to go so badly but it wasn’t his time then. Ever since then he has had no fear of passing through, only a memory of that longing beyond words for a kind of communion he has never known since.

I don’t believe that death is “just” an ending. I don’t believe that it separates us, forever and always, from those who pass on before us. There have been moments when I have felt the presence of my mother, even though she left us more than ten years ago. I think, someday, sometime, you will all be together again – whether it will be in a heaven somewhere or in another life, who knows? But I can’t believe that the kind of love your family has together is for just one lifetime.

Sheesh. I know this can’t help you at all right now. And I would be very surprised if you’re even reading this – I picture you all in your 12 South room, experiencing every second together with the desperate intensity of those whose love knows no boundaries.

I can’t find a quote today that even comes close to expressing what I wish for you. But I hope I’m right – I hope that everything is indeed connected as I believe it is, and that your lives and hearts and souls will always be together as a family, come hell or high water.

Jenny and Andrew, you have given Allie such a gift – you have given her life with two parents who have surrounded her with love unreserved. You have made the unthinkably brave decision to let her little body pass with peace and dignity. You will be able to help ease her passage into the next whatever-it-is and at this point, now that all medical options have been tried, I can’t imagine any better gift to bless your daughter with.

Reading over this post it sounds so passionless – I guess I’m trying to avoid bringing my own feelings into this – y’all have enough of your own to deal with – but I should say, as others have said, that you do not cry alone.

My prayers continue unabated. Love and peace to all of you and your family on this day and every day.

I'm not a religious person, but I could not help but think of 1 Corinthians 13 when reading your latest update. "Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails." Your love for Allie, and her love for you, will never fail. Thank you for sharing the story of that love here, it's a privledge and an honor to witness. Your familiy is in my thoughts and in my heart. Sincerely, Kathleen

Jenny, Andrew and precious Allie,
I have been following your website for several weeks now. I feel like ya'll are part of our family now. You have been so strong. God has Allie on this earth for a certain time. I don't understand why things have happened and won't pretend to. I do know though that Allie has touched soooo many people. Just on my baby center board, we are all following and crying along with you. I understand and support the decision you were forced to make last night. What awesome parents you two are! I only wish I was closer so I could just come hug you both. Enjoy each and every moment you have left with Allie. And, when you do feel it is right, let Allie know it is OK to go home. God will give you the peace. I can't imagine the pain but even more than that, there is no humanly way I can understand and comprehend the love that Jesus has for you and your baby. I will keep praying for you all.
Love in Christ,
Angie Thompson

Jenny,
You are mostly in my prayers Jenny as you struggle through this hard time. I cant imagine what you are going through, My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for 5 years and its hard enough not being able to have one than having one and maybe one day losing him/her. Just know that God is in control and knows what he is doing all though we all are very selfish and want the ones we love here with us when in reality God has another plan for them. You have a beautiful child and she looks so sweet. I just got this website today but I will send to everyone I know so the prayers can be lifted up for Allie. I pray for healing if its God's will and comfort for you and your husband and strength. This has touched my heart today in many ways, our time is God's time we have no control. Allie feels the love that you give her. I pray for her pain to be releaved. May God bless you and your family in this hard time. Your in my prayers from here on out.

I was sent a link to sweet little Allie's site some time ago. I am sorry that I have not signed your guestbook until now, but I feel compelled to tell you that Allie has absolutely stolen my heart. She is the most beautiful, darling baby. I am so sorry that you are all having to go through this most difficult, heartbreaking time. We will pray for your miracle.

I am continually praying for your beautiful daughter, Allie. And my 11-month old daughter always touches the computer screen and smiles when she sees the pictures, so we will continue to hope for a miracle and more beautiful pictures. I also wanted to tell you that I have always loved Natalie Merchant songs, and particularly the song Wonder, but I got my TigerLily album out today and am listening to Wonder with totally new eyes... and I will from now on, thinking of Allie.

Your family is in my prayers. I know all too well the emotional chaos you are going through. My fiance is an AML survivor. He was first diagnosed in college and it was successfully treated. But after about a year in full remission, he's had a relapse. He'll be going in next week for a stem cell transplant. Know that as hard as this is, you're creating awareness for a very serious issue, and that is a positive outcome. Everyone we know has gotten registered as a bone marrow donor and donates blood when possible.

I heard about Allie today from a friend at FF. I have just spent the last 30 minutes reading your journals and weeping. Of course your not okay. I lost my 13 month old daughter in August 2003 and I still don't know if if I am okay but I know through my faith in the Lord that I will see her again. There are angels around around you right now. The day before open heart surgery took my daughters life, she babbled non-stop day and night and kept looking at the ceiling. They were there. My heartfelt prayers are with you. There are mom's and dad's all over the world that know your grief and hold your hand if only through cyberspace.

Always keep your Faith in God & he will get you through the very worst. Your Little Angel will always be in my heart as well as others, but mostly she will always stay in the hearts of Mommy & Daddy. May her pain & suffering be at a minimum as she prepares for her journey Home to be with Jesus.

Thank you for reminding me the importance of the "little things." Please keep the faith. I cling more tightly to my own now because of your story. Thank you for sharing it with us. It makes me cry each time I read that sweet Allie is not getting better, but I do know that her Heavenly Father can't wait to get his loving arms around her & kiss her all over like you are doing now. She will not hurt anymore & you all will meet again. Please kiss her sweet face for me. I pray everyday for your family & will keep doing so always. I love you all & don't even know you. I feel like I have known you forever. I guess Mommies relate to each other that way. Love, a Mom in SC that is rooting for you.

To Jenny, Andrew and precious Allie
Footprints in the Sand
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed
he was walking along the beach with the LORD.

Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand: one belonging
to him, and the other to the LORD.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.

He noticed that many times along the path of
his life there was only one set of footprints.

He also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he
questioned the LORD about it:

"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow
you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when
I needed you most you would leave me."

The LORD replied:

"My son, my precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you

I'm praying hard for little Allie.xxxooo

Mesquite, TX - Thursday, September 9, 2004 1:49 PM CDT

My darlings - although I have not given up hope, I also face reality with you. I have had a song from Michael W Smith running through my mind, and with a small change in names, it fits our darling Allie as well:

Where's the navigator of your destiny
Where is the dealer of this hand
Who can explain
Life and its brevity
'Cause there is nothing here
That I can understand
You and I
Have barely met
And I just don't want to let go of you yet

Chorus:
Allie, hello, good-bye
I'll see you on the other side
Allie, sweet child of mine
I'll see you on the other side

And so I hold your tiny hand in mine
For the hardest thing I've ever had to face
Heaven calls for you
Before it calls for me
When you get there save me a place
A place where I can share your smile
And I can hold you for more than just awhile

Chorus:
Allie, hello, good-bye
I'll see you on the other side
Allie, sweet child of mine
I'll see you on the other side

Please don't think I'm giving up on you, precious ones. I will be here today, tomorrow, and until I am not needed anymore. But these words express so much better than mine what is in my heart.

I love you all. Please kiss her once for me . . .

Jenny - your words are so beautiful. I want you to know that Allie, her story and your family have changed my life and made me a better person. I will never forget her beautiful sweet face.

I have a picture of your family on my fridge with our family pics to keep her story alive and to
tell people about her story and bring awareness to this horrible disease.

I have followed your story almost daily for months but felt compelled to write and to participate in the walk on Oct 23rd. Your family's courage and spirit is awe inspiring and makes this world a better place. I continue to pray for a miracle as well as peace and comfort.

Thank you so much for sharing sweet, talking, giraffe loving, raspberry blowing, lizard girl, wondrous, miracle Allie with us.
Your family has truly been a blessing to me.

In His love,

Jenny and Andrew- As I follow Allie's story, I hope you can both find comfort in the fact that your daughter is responsible for so much good, and for reminding so many parents to hug their children a little tighter and appreciate them every second. I don't know that I would have your strength in the same situation. So many have said these things to you - I hope you take them to heart. And whatever happens, you will always be Allie's mommy and daddy. Not you "were", but you "are". And giving her unconditional love and being her parents, no matter for how long, is something you will always have and always be.

I will be praying for you little angel. I cannot imagine how hard this is on you, I will be praying for you and your family as well. I can only imagine how you are feeling, I know there is a certain strength that over comes a mother seeing their child go through something like this. You feel the need to be strong for them, and some how can. It is the strength only a mother can have. I watched my daughter go through blood transfusions and surgeries as well and I know that there are no words that can make this any easier, but Allie's story has touched our hearts. She in herself is a miracle and has changed your lives forever. You are in our prayers.

Hi Jenny, Andrew, and Sweet Baby Allie
I just wanted to thank you for sharing your pride and joy with my family. My heart is broken, I have cried ever since you wrote your post yesterday. I don't understand why this horrible disease has to happen to a poor undeserving child. Allie deserves to grow up and be a healthy happy child. Your family a taught me a lesson about unconditional love, I hold my family a little closer thanks to baby Allie. Jenny and Andrew you are amazing parents, I think that is why God sent you Allie b/c she is also amazing. I will keep your family in my prayers and I will pray that Allie has peace. Lots of hugs, kisses and love to your family.

Words are just not adequate enough -- I have been one of the "stealth" visitors to your journal for some time now. I have prayed for you each day but never entered your guestbook. Now -- I can't find the words -- I cannot imagine the pain that you are going through. I ask for God to reach down and comfort all three of you as He easily takes Allie home. Jenny and Andrew -- you have been such an inspiration and example as parents. I pray that God will give you strength to continue.

I have followed your story since I first heard about you several months ago through the June 2004 BBC birth club. Allie, you are such a strong, beautiful girl. Reading about you has made me hold my 2 sweet ones a little tighter and realize that our challenges are small. Jenny and Andrew, you have renewed my faith in the strength and resilience of human beings. I am a better person because of you. You and your sweet girl are in my thoughts always.

Because of Allie, my whole family is walking in the Light the Night walk Oct 21st in Gainesville, FL. I have also gotten many of my friends and their families to attend as well.
Your little girl has touched SO many lives.. Thank you for sharing your story, we are all thinking and praying for you.
Nobody should have to suffer from cancer, I hope a cure is found very soon!

I used to work for hospice care, and I've learned a lot, but it took a long time. You know what you need to know by instinct.
You are doing what is best and right for Allie. Keep her comfortable, enjoy her and let her enjoy you. Take her outside, let her see the fall leaves, take her to the zoo to see the tigers. Give her a bubble bath, and blow bubbles for her. Read books. Forget if you can the amount of time left, and focus on the quality of time left. Be sure to tell her its okay to go when it time. And remeber you will hold her again in Heaven.
Thank you for sharing Allie and her story with us, in a way, she has become everyone's favorite girl, everyone's little girl. Thank you so much.

I am only half way through and I am crying like crazy...I can't imagine what you are all going through. I don't ever want to know exactly how you are feeling. You are so courageous...all of you! Jenny...you wrote that you know Allie has changed the way people love their families and you are right. Since learning of Allie there hasn't been a day that has gone by that I haven't been a better mother to my children. Thank you for that. Thank you Allie! My prayers are with you!!!

Allie, sweet baby girl~
Life has not been very fair to you sweet one. But you have been so brave. I've been so touched by your story. You have made me stop and enjoy what I have. People are in such a hurry and sometimes we need a good shake to come back to what is real. I'm sorry you have had to endure this terrible disease. No matter what tomorrow brings, I'm going to continue to fight for you. I'm so proud to be able to walk as the cocaptain of Allie's Angels in Maine. I'm sorry there isn't a cure for you. There will be one day and you will have played a huge roll in that. You have brought awarness of this disease to some many people, and because of that they are all fighting to find a cure. I think what you have managed to do for all these people in your 9 months is far more than some people can do in a lifetime. Find peace in your mother and father's arms and let your little body rest. We all love you Allie Scott!

So many children pass from this earth at the hands of violence. My baby brother, who was born severely handicapped and struggled for every milestone he ever achieved, was one such child. He was shaken to death by a caregiver. Allie has known only your love from the time she was concieved. I know it's hard to see any good from this situation, but I want to tell you that even in this hopeless situation, you can find good things. She will always have love around her. I only wish my brother had been able to pass away peacefully in the arms of someone he loved.

Jenny- I am at a loss for words. I don't how to express what I am feeling. First and most importantly, please accept my apology for not being more directly involved with helping you through your struggles (meals, visits, phone calls) I feel so selfish admitting that my problems with infertility have kept me at a distance. At the peek of my struggles, you were beautifully pregnant and happy. Being around you, helped me to come to grips with my issues and the challenge to accept them. God used you to help me work through my fertility issues and you didn't even know it. Then things changed drastically for your beautiful baby. I couldn't figure out how to face it and get myself up there to be involved.
Please know that I have kept up to date through the website, and friends from church. I have prayed and pleaded with God on your behalf. You again have touched my life and I know God is still using you to touch so many more lives through your website.
Hold onto those precious times with Allie and to God.

When I read your latest entry it made me pick up my daughter and never want to let her go. I can only hope that God grants you peace and serenity. He has already given you the courage to face this horrible disease, to fight for your daughter, and the knowledge of realizing that the fighting has to stop. I pray that she has no more pain and suffering. I can't even begin to understand the way that your heart must be breaking, but I hope that you are able to eventually smile again. Allie will be in your heart forever, no matter where her body may lie. God Bless You, and your entire family. My prayers are with you in this dark time.

Dear Jenny, Andrew and Sweet Baby Allie:
You are such a beautiful little family. Words just cannot express how deeply saddened I am for you. My heart is just breaking and tears are flowing for you. You have been so very brave and strong for your precious little Allie. And what an incredible gift she is to you!
I am sorry if my words seem awkward. I truly know the pain of this terrible disease. I lost my beloved husband Mike to AML-M5 last year. This monster leukemia stole his life force just 12 days after diagnosis.
Please know that your little family has so touched my life and heart - you feel like family to me. I wish I could do something to help or to ease your pain. Please know that you are ever-present in my thoughts, prayers and heart!
May God bless you all, and bring you comfort and peacefulness.
Love, Prayers & Hugs,

I am so sorry. I can't begin to imagine what you are feeling. I am praying for you and Allie. Thank you for sharing your story. I know that there are sick kids in hospitals all over the world but I had never stopped to think about what those children and parents go through. Allie is a beautiful baby who is lucky to have two great parents. I want to say something profound and offer you great advice but I don't know what I could say or do to make this any easy for you. Just know that another life has been touched.

Jenny...

My heart breaks for you... you are such a strong and wonderful mother to your little girl... I hope you know that. I have been reading your posts religiously for about 2 months now... when I saw your post today my heart sunk. I am sad for you, I weep for you and I am angry for you. I wish I had answers or the right words to say. Just know that there are so many people praying for you, your husband and your sweet baby Allie. I hope that you are able to find some peace with all you have been through. Your daughter has touched so many lives through this site, including mine. It has made me appreciate all the little things that I always took for granted, it has made me hug my daughter more each night, and it has made me happy with what I have, and for that I am thankful to you.

God bless you, your family and your sweet baby Allie

A friend of mine passed away this year from cancer at the age of 26. Before she died, we had a conversation about why it was happening to her. I told her I believe that everything is for a reason, even if it isn't always obvious to us why. Her reply was that she didn't know how much more she could learn from it after battling it for 8 years. It dawned on me rom it. Maybe she was meant to be a lesson to us - in how much difference one person can make in the lives of so many others and in how precious life and love are. I think Allie's life has a similar mission. I am praying for comfort for Allie and for peace and strength for all of you. You're in my thoughts.

I shared Allie's story with a friend today, and I wanted you to read what she wrote back to me:

"I applaud that doctor for his advice for treatment, the courage of the parents, and of course the little angel that is teaching us all a lesson. I can only imagine the angels that are crowding around that little one's room. You can almost hear the oh-so-soft fluttering of wings. They are so close to heaven's door."

Offering prayers for a pain-free and peaceful day.

Another prayer from another mom who feels compelled to read about you each night. I pray for Allie, you and your husband each and every night and think of you often. Because of you, I hug my daughter a little tighter each day. I am so amazed by your strength. The January Joys 2004 introduced me to your story and we are all praying and hoping the best for you and your family. We all have children only a little younger than your Allie, so we cry with you when you cry, and we hurt with you when you hurt. Praying for those white blood cells tonight!!!

Dear Jenny, Andrew and precious baby Allie,

I have been following dear little Allie's progress for several weeks, and feel honour-bound to pop my head up and say "hullo", even though you do not know me and I hope you do not mind my doing so. I wanted to say that I am thinking of Allie and you guys every day, down here near the bottom of the world, and saying little prayers for her. I hope with all my heart that sweet Allie pulls through and out of this with flying colours. What an amazing and precious little person she is!

May I also say how I admire you Jenny and Andrew, and how you seem to be handling all that you are going through, while giving Allie so much care and loving. She is one lucky little bunny, to have you as her parents.

Kind best wishes and gentle cuddles for little Allie,

Allie has not only captured the hearts of many thousands of people, but helped raised so much awareness for leukemia and cancer treatments, and fundraising. Not too shabby for an 8 month old! :) I hope we get to follow Allie's story for many many many years to come, I can only imagine the wonderful things she will do in the future!
Thank you Jenny and Andrew for sharing your story and your beautiful daughter, and for keeping us all updated so faithfully, even when I'm sure there are times when you must not feel like it.

I am another person who thinks about and prays for Allie and her family throughout the day! I have been following this site for about a week, and I have been profoundly changed by what I have read. My problems have been put into their true perspectives (it's funny what was once so important to me.) Frequently now, I find that I am able to step back, relax, and enjoy the everyday, mundane (craziness) in a household with three kids and two dogs.

I thank you for this gift, and I will keep praying for a full recovery for your beautiful daughter !!

Fondly,

Hi Jenny, Andrew and baby Allie :) I will be praying for Allie, and asking for others to do so as well. We want her whites to come up up up and be the RIGHT ones. Go Allie Go! I think it's wonderful of you to answer questions for others who are asking. It helps us become more aware and helps us be realistic about Allie and what she is going through. I'm glad you had a great dinner tonight. Sounds yummy! I bet that took the edge off some what. I wish I had a dinner like that! hehe...

Well, Today - my youngest finished her picture that I helped her with, and... I just think its darling :) I took a few pictures ( her hair is messy in it ) of her drawing it, and then of the finished product as well. I was wondering, May I send the drawing your way? My daughter really wants to send it instead of take pictures. She told me it would help her get better faster if she knew some one else close to her age and small cared. Here they are in the links below...

Sam has another clinic appt. on Friday morning at 11:30am. I'll definitely remember his mask so we can come visit you guys. We love Allie cat so much and hope she finds some peace tonight!

See you soon my love!

Here's another gift from Allie and her family to my world. I went to a committee meeting tonight to help plan my 20-year high school reunion. Allie and Sam were on my mind as I wondered how many of my classmates had been touched by cancer since we last saw each other. After the meeting I was chatting with one of my friends about her 2-year-old, who was a surprise several years after her third child. Then she told me the reason they hadn't been planning another child was because they had nearly lost their son, their third child, to rhabdomyosarcoma when he was less than a year old. She was afraid, she said, to risk that kind of pain again. At one point they were told he would not make it through the night. But he did. He made it through a 13-hour surgery to scrape out the cancer, chemo, weeks of radiation, through everything and is now 8 years old. Before I "knew" Allie and Sam, it would have been a touching story, but I would not have truly comprehended what my friend had gone through. Because I have had the privilege of seeing the Scott family experience through Andrew's wonderful website, I knew what my friend had lived through. They aren't sure why her little guy pulled through, but he did. So while the heart beats and loves, there is always hope. And that 2-year-old is lighting up his parents' lives every day as well, even though he wasn't really supposed to be there (or was he?).

Thank you for making my life experience richer.

Dear Jenny, Andrew and especially Beautiful Baby Allie, your updates have become a part of my nightly routine before I go to bed. I live in New York state which means I am often up late with the time difference, but I just can't go to bed without reading the daily update. I find myself holding my breath as I read. I often smile and often cry and I always pray. Allie's story has affected my life and has made me a better person. She is an angel in so many ways. Thank you for allowing me to gain perspective, appreciate life, hug my 9 month son even tighter and to feel love and pride for your lovely daughter. I will continue my prayers for your entire family. Good night and God Bless.

You all are just inspirational!

I check your updates every day also. I cry on the sad reports and rejoice with you on the good ones. It is amazing to me how one little girl and 2 wonderful parents can change so many lives. You 3 are amazing and I thank you for bringing your story to me and many others. God is truly amazing and I do believe that Allie can beat this with his help. Take care of yourselves!

We are all thinking of you and anxiously awaiting Allie's COMPLETE recovery. We just can't wait to hear about the "I kicked leukemia's butt" party. We will continue to keep your family in our thoughts.

I heard about your story on a message board...I have a baby born in December 2003, and cannot even imagine going through all your family has. You and your baby are truely an inspiration. Just looking at the guest book, it's amazing to see how many lives your Allie is touching in her very short life.
I will keep your baby in my prayers.
I also wanted to tell everyone else reading this and wondering what they can do about donating their baby's cord blood. We hear about places you can pay to bank your own child's in case you need it, but there are also places you can donate it to and make it available to anyone who matches...like Allie.
It's an easy process that takes place moments after you baby is born...please take time to look into it (if you're pregnant or planning to become).
Check out www.slcbb.org for more information.

Jenny, Andrew, & Allie:

What an amazing family you are. So strong and brave. I have been watching your page and keeping up with your story for only about a week now - but I still feel as if I know you. I have two precious gifts - Cassie, 5, and Connor, 2 1/2. Cassie says that Allie is "so cute" and Connor says he loves her. She has definitely touched our lives in a great way.

I pray for you all and for to have continuing strength and courage to fight this battle. You are so blessed to have each other and such a wonderful family support group. God bless you all.

Allie, you go girl! You are doing a fabulous job. I had to take my little boy shopping for a birthday present for his friend and we went to Toys R Us. It was so very hard for me not to buy you a new giraffe and send it to you. We talked about you all through the toy store. You sure are special! Your 8 month birthday was on my due date. I had my baby early though so she is 7 wks old already. I tell her about you all of the time. I'm glad you're feeling better and hope to see those bright wonderful smiles again soon. Jenny and Andrew, we're still praying and think a miracle is in progress! I've been keeping updated at Allie's Angels board. I feel like I know you all and wish I could be there to walk with you.

Yeah for Allie !!! She is going against every leukemia textbook ever written ! In fact she's writing her very own book as we speak :o) As far as we concerned, we keep focusing on the best outcome coz focusing on the worst doesnt change things one bit, in fact it's no wonder that Allie gets irritable when she sees those whom she loves upset coz she needs u & Andrew to be positive ! I think she feels bad when she sees u guys upset. She's one happy, cheerful baby which she inherited from both of u and 2 wonderful sets of grandparents! Jenny I am so so proud of u.U are a wonderful woman/mother/wife/friend/daughter/sister. It amazes me that ur able to have the stregth, energy & courage to document what's going on. Most people would simply retreat into their cocoon cause it may seem too much to bear/overwhelming but not u ! Wish i could hug u guys for real (wouldnt mind wearing the mask /gown one bit-just so i could give u a warm bearhug !)

God Bless You All& Continue to stregthen you all (especially our little soldier, Allie to continue the fight)

We are praying for you guys! You all mean the world to me, my family, our friends, and our entir church. Allie, and your whole family is on our prayer list and prayer chains. I am a Light the Night team catain and am doing it for Allie's Angles. In response to why so many people are making Allie the poster child for this horrible disease- it is because she is so perfect and adorable and you, Jenny, write so eloquently and passionatly about your trials. Whether it is a good day or bad you bring us to tears, laughter, smiles, hope, and you make us realize how important family and prayer is. And what a beautiful family you are. THANK YOU!!! (We are praying for Sam, Feldon, and Emma Day too) I so wish I could meet your family and just hug you all and pray with you, instead I am busy getting people to donate blood, platelets, sign up for the donor registry, walk, and PRAY. God Bless and good luck. I would love to hear from you and meet you- when you can.

We have been reading your updates for almost a month now, since we were first linked here by a BBC post about Allie. It has become a nightly routine of checking on Allie before I can go to sleep, and then praying for Allie each night, and then thinking periodically about her throughout the day and hoping for a miracle. I have been telling my husband about her. I didn't realize how much she had touched his life too. He was gone on a business trip for 3 days and when he came home, he said, "How's little Allie girl? I thought about her while I was gone and was just praying she would get better." He started crying when I read him this week's posts but they were tears of joy. I know last week we were both so sad to read that she was having a tough time. I believe we are seeing a miracle unfold...watching her get a little better every day. Now we just need those white cells to grow. Allie girl, you stay safe, stay strong, stay with us! Thank you Jenny and Andrew for sharing your story with us. We probably would have never known about AML otherwise and now we can take actions to help.

Though we've never met, I feel like I know you guys. I heard about Allie through a message board that I belong to, and have been reading your updates every night before I go to bed for about a month now. I cannot see a giraffe without thinking of her! I have a little boy who is about to turn seven months, and even resembles Allie a little in the eyes and face. Maybe that is why I have become so engulfed by your story. Allie must be the strongest little girl on the planet! When she smiles, her entire face lights up, even though she may not be feeling well.

I continue to pray that her white cells begin to increase, and that those nasty blasts decrease even further! Go Allie!

My name is Nikki (BC Feb 2004), and I am from Beltsville, Maryland. Our hearts and prayers go out to your family. Your strength is an inspiration. I think about you often and pray everyday that God gives Allie the strength to beat this horrible disease. I believe in miracles, and your daughter is nothing short of miraculous. I pray that God watches over you all, and that you continue to be positive and have hope that Allie, with the love of her family, and the prayers of so many people across the world, will be home with you soon.

Much love,

Dear Jenny, Andrew & Allie, You guys continue to be in our prayers every day. Last night I was crazy enough to go to bed w/o checking you site, so you guessed it, I got out of bed and logged on, because I know I couldn't sleep well without knowing how little Allie was doing. I'm so happy that the leukemia cells are low and we're praying so hard that they continue to drop while her good, healthy WBC's come up.
Go Allie!!! You're kicking leukemia butt!!!

I have only had 2 or 3 that I can recall, so I really connected with your post tonight. I am starting back at school next week and wish that you were too. However it is more important to be with your Allie. She needs you. For the time being, she can be your student. "They" say that parents are a child's first teacher.

Dear Jenny, Andrew and sweet Allie:

I am writing to you from British Columbia, Canada - from a city called Kelowna. My girlfriend Alison showed me your website - she has been avidly following your story and has been telling me about the site you created to share about your family, and most specifically Allie.

I wish I had the perfect thing to say ... something brilliant and tangible. You are inspirational, genuine and positive and I am in humble admiration of your character and strength - the three of you are a powerful family unit, lemme tell ya!

I believe so strongly in the power of prayer Jenny and Andrew and you and your families are in ours. You have reminded me it is all too easy to fall into a state of complacency and that life is meant to be lived each day, savouring each moment. Jenny, it emanates, even through a computer screen that you savour each moment with your child - she is beautiful!

I felt compelled to write, and hope somehow my sincere feelings come through the impersonal nature of the computer.

When you need ... LEAN, I am another shoulder of many that are here for you offering prayer, strength, support and friendship.

Allie - you keep fighting sweetie - you, little one have a tremendous cheering section, growing in magnitude every day!

Much love and many POSITIVE thoughts,
Barb Fay

I hope that tomorrow brings more white cells and less blasts. Allie, you are such a strong little girl, not to mention absolutely gorgeous (not many babies have cheeks that beautiful)! Jenny and Andrew, the love, devotion and strength that you have for your daughter is remarkable. Our family will be praying for not only more white cells and less blasts but also a better day tomorrow for Allie, filled with smiles and giggles.

Allie is in my thoughts and prayes little girl.

Allie is in my thoughts and prayers every single day, and I look forward to seeing how she's doing every evening.

I read your comments yesterday, about feeling sort of guilty at the attention Allie's getting, when so many other children are sick. Don't feel guilty! You're doing so much good by raising awareness, and pulling people together. I squeeze my two kids (ages 2 and 1) a little tighter every night, and appreciate them even more than I did before I knew of Allie.

Hang in there - you all are doing a wonderful job!!

I couldn't imagine going thru what you're going thru. You're a remarkable woman. You have a great family. It was also nice talking to your mom! I wish I lived close by so I can visit you! I live in Arizona! You're the friend I always wished I had. I want Allie to fight this! I would give my left leg for this child. Someone I don't even know. I just want to thank you for letting me get a glimpse of your life. Also thanks to your mom, for bringing you into this world. The world needs a few more people like you! You rock! Thanks again!

My heart is full of hope for you both and for your precious little angel.

I usually sleep like a log, but in the last 3 weeks I've woken up many nights around 3am with your family on my mind....I stay awake long enough to pray for Allie, you and Andrew and I'm back to sleep immediately. It's pretty cool to read that someone else has had the same thing happening. We'll keep the prayers coming!

Hi Sweet Allie,

I am so sorry to hear about how the neupogen is making you feel. I have the worst feeling when you are not feeling well. However, if the neupogen does what it is supposed to do (allow the donor WBC's to grow at a faster rate and not the blast cells) then I believe that it's worth it. I know it's strange for me to be saying that your pain is good, but if it brings a wonderful outcome then it is good. Hopefully, the neupogen will produce fast results so you will not have to continue with the medication very much longer. Jenny, I am so happy to hear what your former student, Leah, did for you. To think that you influenced that young girl so much is amazing. I am a teacher too (Kindergarten) and I have special students that I remember as well. If I lived in the Dallas area, I would gladly bring food to you. Is there any restaurant near by that I could get you a gift certificate to? I want to help Allie, Andrew, and you so much, but I am just unsure of what else I can do. I am the captain of the Allie's Angels team here in Richmond, VA and I donated platelets. If there is anything else that you feel that I could do please do not hesitate to let me know. That's all for tonight. Allie, I hope you have a very comfortable night. Jenny, I hope Allie will allow you to get some sleep. Both of you sleep tight. We love you. Jennifer and Katharine in Richmond, VA

I follow Allie's progress daily ... and although I don't know you personally, I feel as if I have come to -- I cheer at your triumps and cry at even the slightest setback. Allie, you have become a part of me -- I know because I saw a lawn ornament in the shape of a giraffe just yesterday and was compelled to tell the people around me about your strength, and the strength of your parents. Warm wishes, precious Angel.

My daughter is the same age as Allie, so your story grabs at my heartstrings! Every night before we go to bed we say a special prayer for Allie and many of the other Caringbridge kids I check up on! Although my husband and I won't be participating in the Light the Night walk (we will be on vacation), Grandma will be taking our kids to walk with Aunt Karen's team (she is a lymphoma survivor)....but I will ask them to keep Allie in their thoughts during the walk!!
You guys are amazing....may the Lord continue to give you the strength to LIVE and LOVE each day!

Dear Jenny, Andrew, and Allie,

We continue to pray and hope for you and your family up here in good old Wisconsin. I have said this before to my friends and family, but I never knew that I could care for a little girl so much that I had never met, but little Allie has definitely won my heart, as well as the hearts of many other people! She is such a strong little fighter, and it looks as though she gets her strength from her parents! Jenny, I also wanted to know, I'm sure that you and Andrew are receiving several gifts and such, but is there something that you and your family could use in particular, or perhaps a gift certificate to a restaurant? Or would you prefer local blood/platelet donations? I pray everyday for Allie, but I would like to help in some other way, as well.

I just wanted to say that becuause of you, your husband and especially Allie-- I go to work everyday with a Mission: to get more people to donate blood and platelets. I work at Canadian blood services and i call existing donors--even ones who haevn't donated since like 1988-- and call and ask them to donate again-- some hang up on me and some say i'm so glad you called to me it's all the same i just want people to donate!!! I have seen by Allie how important it is!! Kisses to that sweetie pie of a child-- I have a little one myself -(19 months)(Jillian)-who oddly enough LOVES Giraffes too! her room is a baby yellow and Giraffe themed-- so I can relate to the "giraffe overload!"
Stay strong as i've notice you all have always been-- Now i'm going back to work to make some more calls! Hopefully no more hang ups!

take care

Jenny, Andrew, and Allie,

We are first-time posters, long-time readers! After we read tonight that reading positive posts helps you, Jenny, we thought we'd share our thoughts on what a beautiful, beautiful daughter you have! She is truly a remarkable girl, bright, beautiful, and so sweet. You and Andrew are fantastic parents, and all of this must be so hard on you, but you are doing a wonderful job of managing your stress in front of your Allie. We certainly admire and respect and love you all. Though you are, you absolutely do not feel like strangers. To us, Allie is our own little darling, and you and Andrew are like best friends.

We hope you have a peaceful night tonight and always!
The Marlings--Paul, Katie, Amy, Meredith, Gracie, and Anna.

P.S. Even Anna, our littlest one (she's now 2 1/2!), cannot wait to see the pics you post of Allie every night. She thinks Allie is a little doll and she wants one!

Hugs and prayers tonight, and I hope Allie's white cells come up, blasts go down, and that cruddy neupogen doesn't make her quite so sick tomorrow! Poor baby!

I'm a teacher, too (college English... my French is awful, I'm afraid). I can so relate to your comments about your really fabulous class! Someday you'll be back in the classroom with wonderful students. You are clearly a gifted woman in so many ways! Just wanted to do something to lift you up a little.

I can't read this guestbook for too long... it just makes me dizzy, all the comments, but happy that Allie is getting so much support. So here I am, adding to the dizzyness! Sorry! Just wanted to say she's in my prayers, and I'll check to see if I can get with an Allie's Angels team here in WV. I may *be* the team, lol!

Jenny and Selena (the previous guestbook entry),

This is just an FYI, because "PISD" caught my attention in Selena's post. I imagine y'all's computers at school have suffered the same fate as ours...the filter installed by the district is the culprit! Basically you can't go ANYWHERE online on your classroom computers!

Jenny, I didn't want you to worry that it was just this dear website. I teach in Northside ISD (San Antonio) and the recently "updated" filter is tighter than a drum. I don't mind during the school day - I teach elem. and barely have time to catch my breath when the children are there! But it's in effect all the time, after school hours, etc.

Selena, you might try to request clearance for this site (caringbridge) as well as scotthousehold.com - get in touch with your tech people at CO. Just explain and maybe they will grant accessibility. Hope this helps.

Love to Allie and all the bunnies on 12 South tonight. Hugs, Nancy Miller

Jenny,

Well, good 'ole PISD does not let me view your website anymore. I have no clue what happened because up until now I was able to view the site and check on Allie's progress every morning. I guess too many of us are checking on Allie at work. I want you to know that I am always thanking about you all. I know I have not been a visible part of your life in a while, but I am always here for you. I pray for you, Allie, and your family every night. I just finished signing up to walk at the Light the Night event. I want to do this for my mom and Allie. Take care, girlie, and talk to you soon!

You are my inspiration and I have shared your story with so many others who are depending on you for just one more great day in the life of Miss Allie. Thank you for what you have meant to so many people. Love, Glenda

Dear Jenny, Andrew and Allie,
I'm from the babycenter December 03 birthclub and I remember the day back in May when I read your post there about Allie being sick. I have been thinking of you all since and praying for Allie with all my heart. You are all such an inspiration. Allie has touched my soul to the core. Your story and your precious baby have changed my perception of so many things! 2 am diaper changes just aren't so bad anymore! My daughter Grace is 5 days younger than Allie and I look forward to the day we can chat on the birthclub board about our beautiful daughters learning to walk and talk. You have the stength of a hundred olympians. May Allie have the strength of a thousand. All my love.

Dear Scott Family,

My family and I have been following you for weeks every night (I'm from iParenting and read of Allie there), and was told today that the guestbook was working again from another reader. I know from reading you hope for more personal friends to post - but I just had to leave a message. Allie has touched my life, and my husband's. We treasure our 11 month old daughter ever more. Your family is an example of heroism. I know you don't feel like it all the time, but Allie leads an amazingly strong family. Thank you for letting us into your lives, and from looking at this book - the whole world is touched and is behind Allie. You are heroes!

God Bless you all, and we continue to pray for Allie. We JUST KNOW she will overcome this!!!!

Love, the Rose Family

Dear Scott family~
I have written several times before and will continue to do so - I was going crazy when your guestbook was down! I was out of town for a few days and had no access to the internet. I was on pins and needles wondering how "my" Allie was doing. I was so, so, so pleased to read her updates! She's going to beat this, you know - she will! I will continue to pray for her blasts to go down, healthy white cells to rise and for strenght to all of you to continue this battle.
With love, thoughts and prayers from Iowa!

I am one of those people that you don't know. Someone on the Net54 PALP board posted the link to pray for baby Allie and I've come back to check in a few times to see how she's doing. She's such a sweet and beautiful little girl. You are such a gorgeous young family, too young to be going through all of this. I keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I have one baby myself, a girl named Ashley who is 5 months old. I can't imagine what you are all going through but hold you deep in my heart! God Bless!

Dear Lord, we remember today Allie, Jenny and Andrew, who are having a hard time right now. We ask you to provide comfort and healing.

We don't understand why you allow these things to come into our lives, Lord. But we trust that you are working in all situations to bring about your good purposes. We ask that you would continue to work your will in the life of Allie, Jenny and Andrew. Use us to provide support and nurture. Give us the wisdom we need to aid in the healing process. Help each of us know what to say and do.

You are a God who loves wholeness, Lord, and we have seen your healing in Scripture and in our own lives. So in this case we boldly ask you to provide healing and restoration of body, mind, and spirit. Bring Allie back to wholeness, for your eternal glory. Amen

Please know that we are praying for you and all of your 12th South friends here in Salt Lake City, Utah. It is so good of you to share your story and bring more awareness to this nasty disease. And your baby Allie is just as beautiful as can be. I am so pleased to read that she is feeling better these past few days and it is so good to see a smile on your face! Also please know that by sharing your story, you have touched so many people and caused them to provide lots of extra hugs and kisses to their own little ones.

hello from New Castle, Pa - this is my third attempt to write a post this afternoon. I was almost finished when one of my cats - a 15 pounder - jumped up and deleted all but the first line. I recreated it - then she stretched out and it appeared to send. I can't find it however, so will assume I should begin again - forgive me if I repeat. I have been keeping up with Allie's struggle and think of - and send up a prayer - for all of you often. About three weeks ago I was out shopping with my mom and 4 yr old great nephew and picked up a giraffe beanie baby with the intention of sending it to Allie. Even as I did so I thought to myself that I bet you guys are being swamped with gifts. Being me, I have procrastinated and not yet sent it. It had, in fact, remained on the back seat next to the car seat I have for my nephew. Last Friday he picked it up and began talking about the "sick baby in the hospital" because he knows that is who I bought it for. Jamil, my daughter, rescued it from his grasp and sat it up front on the console. It's name is Girafitti and despite her eyes being little black beads they appear to peer right in to your heart. I decided then and there that I was going to keep her sitting there to remind me daily of Allie and Sharon and the rest of you - to send up a prayer for you and to give thanks for what I have myself. After reading the articles in the Dallas paper in which the statistic of "one in four" was mentioned I just keep thinking of Sharon on the phone that first night telling me HER baby is not a statistic. And she isn't. Unless she gets to be one for the record books listed under miracle !! I pray that is true. The beanie baby aspect has a special significance to me - and maybe Sharon will remember when she visited me in the height of the big beanie baby craze that in our sightseeing we came upon a treasure trove of beanies babies in a store. Sharon couldnt believe her eyes as they were hard to come across back in Dallas. She ended up filling half a suitcase with beanie souvenirs for friends and loved ones back in Texas!! Well, this isnt meant to be a venue for me - and since my youngest cat - about a pound and a half -- at the other end of my animal spectrum is biting my fingers and about to walk on the keyboard I better send this. LOVE to all of you.

Allie, What a special little girl you are to have such a wonderful mommie and daddy. They are so dedicated to you. They love you with all their being, you can tell by the pictures and entries on the daily post. Their strength is amazing and beyond comprehension. They pray over you and lift you up even when it's hard to utter prayers. They have put your story out to the nation so others can learn about this disease. I have never met your mommie and daddy but feel that I know them through my daughter, Ashley Rodgers, Allen, Tx. My prayers are with you! And mommie and daddy, too. ALLIE, KEEP FIGHTING! NEVER GIVE UP HOPE! The Lord has you cradled in His arms and He will never let go! praying for a good white blood count, Patricia (AnnaKate Rodgers' nanna)

Jenny- I wanted to write this specifically to you. You amaze me! I would think the average person when faced with such a horrible deal would be angry at God and/or wish they never had to deal with something like this. Instead, your faith is strong and you repeatedly stress how you would never change any of this because you've got such an amazing girl. You are an inspiration, as are Andrew and Allie! I will continue praying for Allie and your family. Go Allie!!

I have been following Allie's story for several weeks now, held my own sweet baby girl and cried for you all. I pray that she beats this terrible disease. I lost a brother and sister to a genetic disease years ago and remember well the endless days and nights in the hospital. I can remember the sadness I felt as a little girl seeing my siblings and the other children in the hospital battle their illnesses, I can't fathom how it must be to be their with your own child. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers and hope all of the attention sweet Allie has gotten will make people realize how important all kinds of research is for childhood and adult diseases. She is beautiful, I wish your family many happy years together.

I've written to you guys before and I'll say what I've said before-God will reveal His grace and Allie's going to make it. She just has too. Someday when she is old enough she'll ask you what all the fuss was about. She is such a gift to us all.

Hello, my name is Maria Brown and I am part of the BBC August 2003 Board. I have been reading for about a few weeks now but have never posted. Your story has touched my heart and I would like to help in any way possible. I could not imagine what you are going through but by reading your posts I feel like I could put myself in your shoes and feel the way you feel. I would like to praise you for being so strong. I will continue to pray for Allie each and everyday til she fully fights off this lukemia. I have faith that she will. I am trying to coordinate with a local radio station and see if thay can help out in any way, and I am also trying to talk to people at my job about joining The Light the Night walk. God bless you and your family, and little baby Allie! Even though we dont know each other I feel so close to your family because of this story. Isnt it amazing how something like this can bring people together for love and support.

Jenny and Andrew, keep those pics coming of that gorgeous little girl of yours! She's just awesome!

Your post last night struck me hard. I thought the same thing concerning the children I don't know about living with cancer (or any childhood illness at that). I said to my husband I feel guilty that I can't give to everyone, and when I do, it's not much. Allie is a pioneer. With the positive national attention she is getting (which has to be exhausting sometimes), something great will come of it. I just know it. Most of all, thank you for sharing your little girl with us. She's just so darn beautiful!

I am so touched by your story and I read your posts everyday. I pray a lot for a miracle for you Allie. I have 7 month old daughter, and you have made me realize how much of a blessing a child is. Allie you are special, and my faith in God tells me that you CAN MAKE IT! You can survive against all odds.

Jenny and Andrew, I'm sure that I don't have to tell you to pray without ceasing. Have faith and God will see things through.

Jenny,
I am a registered nurse and Quantum Touch Practitioner who has been following Allie's progress for the last week. There is quite an extensive network of practitioners from all walks of life out here that would love to send Allie some healing energy. With your permission, I would like to begin somewhat of a campaign of sending her healing energy. Our local group meets at least once a week. Other local groups all over the world do the same. The best thing about QT is that it works great even from a distance. It would be the best gift I could possibly give your family. You can read about Quantum Touch at quantumtouch.com. I was somewhat skeptical when I first heard about QT, however, I remembered being in nursing school some 25 years ago and a visiting instructor talked about something very similar to this idea. The "healing hand's of light" idea always fascinated me but I never learned the techniques. One of my Native American Indian friends learned about QT and encouraged me to take the course and do the clinical hours. It has honestly changed the way I practice nursing. Let me know what you think and if I have permission to send healing energy and start a network of healing energy being sent to Allie from around the world.
Brightest of Blessings,

Carolyn Jones

Thank you for sharing this story with the world. From reading the guestbook it is apparent that Allie's fight and your precious family have touched so many lives. Our family has been touched by childhood illness as well, so on many levels we can relate to your journey. One scripture I will pass on to you is one I remember whenever we find ourselves hospital or doctor bound and it is 2 Timothy 4:17 "The Lord stood at my side and lent me strength". May our good and gracious God continue to provide Allie, you, and your family peace, comfort, and hope.

I have been praying for all of you everyday. I guess also for everyone in the world who is suffering. My dad was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia last year. It is one of the hardest things we had to deal with. I wish I could take his white blood cells(had to have cemo to get them down because of being so high)and give them to her. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am an average Army wife living in Germany with four healthy kids and a husband who spent 16 months in Iraq. I received this link from a friend in Oklahoma, and while I was sitting here engrosed in your story, my 2 year old climbed on my lap and touched the face of your Allie on the screen. She looked at me and said, "That baby is an angle mommy." I think she was right...what a fighter. She seems determined to beat the odds! Our best to you and Allie. Bless you.

In this world so full of madness, I'm sure there are times we often neglect to take time out and remember all the things we should be thankfull for. Allie is one little angel that has opened not only our hearts, but also our minds to become aware of the realities that we must face daily. It's during these times that one can realize that a community is not just the people who surround you, and a family is not just catagorized as those who are blood related. A community, to me, now is when people of diverse backgrounds and ethnicities from all over the world come together for support and prayer. A family is now not just the people who are part of my family tree, but also the people who care enough to face life's trials with us through their thoughts and prayers if not in the physical. This site was linked to me by a co-worker and has now joined my FAVORITES list. Allie, we are all here because we know that you are truely an angel and through this all, you have had the strength of a hundred men, the courage of the toughest lion, and a heart of gold with big beautiful bright eyes to match! You have made a place for yourself in all of our hearts... I know you're in mine to stay! My family and I are praying for you! Take care and God Bless!

Dear Jenny,
I just wanted to let you know that I am praying for your family and to let you know what an inspiration you and Allie are! I am the mother of two children and can't even imagine what you are going through. I am in my last year of nursing school and I am currently doing my pediatric rotation at a very large teaching hospital here in North Carolina. I have seen many loving families such as yours but have also seen many children left in the hospital with no parents around whatsoever. I could not help but think of you and Allie as my classmates and I spent most of our shift rocking, and holding these children. Reading your posts every night has really helped me to learn about what a family goes through. I hope I will be a better nurse because of it! Thank you for sharing your beautiful daughter with us strangers. Never give up hope. I have seen many patients that Doctors have said would never survive, walk out of the hospital months later. In the medical profession we can measure many things but the human spirit is immeasureable, and Allie seems to have a lot of it!! Sending you all the best, Christine

Jenny, you are right that Allie is getting a lot of attention, but think of the impact of that exposure! Because of Allie, I recently did my first platelet donation. I was very unnerved at the thought of two needles for two hours, but I figured if Allie could be so brave in the face of her struggles I could summon up a little courage myself. I almost chickened out, but after reading the previous day's journal entry I hopped in the car and headed off to MD Anderson. The donation was far easier than I had expected; my apheresis tech (an Aggie--whoop!) was great and to top it all off, I got to watch one of my favorite movies, When Harry Met Sally. Because I'm in the Houston area, my platelets cannot benefit Allie directly, but I am heartened by the fact that another cancer patient will benefit. I have made a personal commitment to donate platelets once a month in honor of Allie, Sam and all the kids as well as my good friend Susie. God bless you all!

Dear Jenny, Indeed, more research is needed, along with more funding for research. You've said it to perfection, dear heart. Back in 1980, I found an article about 143 long-term survivors of ALL. It became my mantra as my niece was being treated. We've come a long way since then, but continuing strides and discoveries are imperative. Love the new photos!! Best to Andrew, Frances, Sharon and, of course, Allie Cat!!!! May today be a sweet one!! All my love, Jill

Hey Jenny! Your hair looks great! Glad to hear that Allie's blasts were down to 8%. We will continue to pray that the blasts number will go down and her healthy white blood cells will go up. Praying for no infection. Our prayers continue to be that Allie beat Leukemia and have a long healthy life. I hope you receive many smiles today. Allie looks great. Take care! Much Love-Kristel

Jenny, Thank you so very much for sharing so much of yourself and Allie with us all. You have both made a great impact on my family as a whole. My 4 year old asks about "Baby Allie" all of the time. She loves to look at the pictures and always says a prayer for her at bedtime. Last night she asked if Allie could come over and play after she is feeling better - it was very sweet! You have helped all of my children and myself to really think of others and realize how precious all of our lives are! Thank you for all that you give! I hope you have a wonderful day . . . you are all in my prayers constantly!

PS Cute hair cut!!!

Jenny, I don't understand all of the medical terms you use, and what should be what, but I do understand about the white blood cells being normal for Allie to survive, so I will pray my prayers towards that area. Your family is such an inspiration to so many others, and I am sure that there are some you are reaching that you aren't even aware of. I know that there are other families battling this same disease as you, and although it may seem like you are getting all of the attention, it is for a reason. You are bringing it to the forefront, and those other families are probably now getting the additional help and support they needed that they might not have gotten otherwise. So look at it from that light, and DO NOT FEEL GUILTY for it. You are only sharing your story to further the awareness of this terrible disease. What I hope happens is that other families who may be going through this will begin to rely on each other, and form their own support group in their hospital just as you Annie, and Dana have done. You have lead an example that others can now follow.

I love the pics of Allie! What a special baby, and so beautiful. Keep loving her to pieces. Have a GREAT day.

The family of six in Frisco is praying for you, and reading your journal entries daily. Jeff (dad), Tammy (mom), Benjamin (big brother), Kristen (big sister), Kailey (little sister), and Truman (baby of the family who is 4 today)---We love you, and are always thinking of you.

Hello Jenny,
I have been following your story for a while now, and I just wanted to let you know how happy I feel that Allie is doing better. I think of your family often daily and say several prayers a day for Allie.
I lost my son last year to childhood cancer, so I am very familiar with the pain and fears you are going through. I myself a couple of months before Isaac, my son, passed away was diagnosed with breast cancer. Thankfully, my cancer was a stage one that after surgery and chemotherapy, I am now considered a survivor, but oh how I wish it was my son that survived. My son was being treated at Texas Childrens Hospital in Houston. I know how important it is to raise awareness about childhood cancer. We need to find a cure and fast!!
You are a strong person, and have a great support system. Give Allie a great big hug from all of us who wish we could. Stay strong

Houston, TX USA - Wednesday, August 25, 2004 2:16 AM CDT

Jenny, I read your post tonight as always and see that you feel guilty about the attention your family is getting. Please do not. There are now 66 teams walking in Allie's HONOR. I'm anxious to hear the total number of actual walking when we are through. And can you imagine the amount of money that is being raised in Allie's HONOR. That is something that you truly should be proud of. And in Sam's HONOR as well and all those beautiful children that go through this on a daily basis. Allie has touched more people in 8 months than I know I will in my lifetime. My 7 year old prays for her and she ask for updates about her daily. My 4 year son does the same. Even our 9 month old is working on praying for Allie. I told her to squeeze my finger and give me some of her strength for Allie and she gave Mama a good squeeze for Allie. She's sending her more strength and based on her results lately she is getting it.

Allie has done another thing. My 9 month old daughter is our last and now we are starting to pack up baby items. We had bought a new ocean bouncer chair for her and exersaucer so she has only used them. After following Allie's story and seeing the beautiful pictures of her I started thinking that here she is using the same items our children use daily. Locally, we have a children's hospital and they have the Ronald McDonald house to house people who are there from out of town. I contacted them to see if they were interested in these items or the hospital. They were very excited because often people pack quickly and can't take everything. So again, Allie has an effect on all of us. If it weren't for her I wouldn't have thought of the hospital or Ronald McDonald house. Now some other infant can have the pleasures of home. I'm sure more people have other stories to share as well. So one day, when she prepares to walk down the isle you can tell her how she has made the world a much better place to live.

And yes, we are walking with our LTN team here in Wisconsin for Allie. We can't wait. Again, she is bringing complete strangers together. How awesome.

We love you Allie, and we love the fight that you have beautiful girl.

Hi Jenny,

I read your post tonight and wanted to share something with you. I trained to run a marathon with Team in Training this past spring. Thankfully, I have not been personally affected by Leukemia or any other blood related cancer. However, I knew that Leukemia strikes thousands of children a year and was sure that the parents of those children never thought it would be their child that would get sick. I came to the scary realiztion that it could happen to a child I love, so I went to work raising money and running my butt off....which after having two kids, was an added bonus!! I sent out over 100 letters and put a donation box, with an explanation of what I was raising money for, on the check out counter at my Pediatricans office. My family was great, they donated most of the over $2000 I raised. However, most of my friends, many with young kids and the other parents at my Pediatricans office, did not donate. I was appalled. I hated the thought that people had to be personally affected by Leukemia, in order to donate money to help find a cure. I thought many times over the course of my fundraising that if these people's children had cancer, they would want others to donate for the cause. It really made me angry...

Which brings me to my point in writing to you. In your post tonight you mentioned being thankful for all the support your family has and that sometimes you feel guilty about it. DO NOT FEEL GUILTY FOR ONE NANOSECOND. Judging by the huge response for the LTN events, you have single handely put a face, Allie's beautiful face, on leukemia for thousands of people. It gives them a "personal" connection to the disease. I bet if you took a poll, over 95% of the people raising money and participating in the LTN walk would not be doing so were it not for "knowing" Allie. You should be very proud of what an impact your making. When the day comes that there is a cure for Leukemia, you can be sure that Allie will have played a part in funding that cure. She will be only too happpy to tell all her friends that!!! Take care...

Just wanted you to know that your precious muppet is in our entire family's thoughts, hearts and prayers. She is such a courageous fighter and has people from all over the world rooting for her. God bless her and protect her. Ali, we all believe that you will beat this disease and in the process you have both inspired and renewed many a faith. I cannot even put into words the effect your story has had on us but just know that your ferocious determination and unshakeable will to beat the odds has left our lives forever changed. Get better baby girl. (((((HUGS)))))

Hi, Jenny, Andrew, and Allie. We just wanted to let you know that you're in our thoughts and prayers. We read the postings every night; when I am busy with Karter, Mike checks for us and updates us. (Two English teachers doing it is hilarious,though. Neither one of us ever understands the blasts and gleevac and white cells as well as we should! We need Maria to interpret.) Speaking of, Maria is getting a "team" together to walk on October 23.
Love to you all and especially to Allie, that little fighter. I know it will be a while, but I'm hoping to see her at our book club again someday. Mike's mom got to hold her (remember?) and still asks about you.

Jenny, Andrew, and Miracle Allie Cats,

Just wanted to let you know someone far away is thinking of you tonight. We have all been praying for Allie and hoping that she will do better. I believe in miracles and I believe in Allie! I have my own Allie (7 years old) and the thought of anything happening to her just rips my heart out. I check your site daily and I too am hoping to join the San Fransisco team to walk with our family in honor of Allie. Thank you for sharing the gift of Allie with all of us.

All our Love and Prayers,

PS. Keep fighting Allie, you are stronger than the cancer!

Hi Jenny,
I'm so glad to hear Allie's blasts are going down. I agree with a previous poster...learning about Allie, and all the little ones on your floor has taught me how to pray. I also agree with the poster who said she would have never known about LTN if it weren't for you. My family is walking in honor of your little girl, and Sam, and all the children who are suffering from Lukemia. I am going to school to become a nurse. I always thought I wanted to be a Labor and Delivery nurse. My daughter being sick, and hearing your story has made me want to go into pediatric intensive care. Your story, and what you are living has made me change my life. You have done that for so many people you don't even know.

Your strength is amazing, your daughter is an angel with a Miracle in Progress!!!

Prayers & Peace to you!

I pray regularly for Allie, and all other children w/leukemia. I know that I am very blessed with 4 healthy children and I pray that you will soon know that feeling. Keep God close and know that people everywhere are praying for you and your miracle baby.

well, jenny, you may have not felt like praying lately, but God has not stopped laying you all on my heart. i have never been woken up so many times in the middle of the night with such a burning desire to pray as i have the past two weeks--i've been praying for allie all along, but lately, i think God is calling for re-inforcements at strange hours!!!! anyway, i still consider it a huge privilege to answer the call. Can't wait to see you all tomorrow since it is FINALLY our time to deliver food!!!--love to you all, lori & leah

Okay, I'm signing again, twice in five minutes. I forgot to say that my horoscope today said to expect a miracle. I don't really believe in horoscopes, but I had to smile, and I said to God, "If this is true, I'd like to give my miracle to Allie." And I just saw the post about the 9-month-old in chemo for the brain tumor. Maybe I'll get two miracles, but, regardless, I will pray for this child, too.

Every night I visit your website to see how you all and baby Allie are doing and then I go give my husband an update. Was telling him how she seems to be holding her own tonight and potentially doing better and he said wonderful. And said it with such meaning!

I said that to say that we feel like we know you in person, that we are there if not in body, in spirit. We keep your family in our prayers!

Jenny, just wanted to say that I would never have thought of donating if it weren't for your site bringing awareness to this aweful disease. I would never have even know that there was a LTN walk so close to my home. I would never have signed up my family to walk in honor of Allie and others fighting out there. Remember this when the guilt comes into your head, and then release it as so much has come from you and your family opening your hearts to the world.

Jenny, Andrew, and Allie most of all--
I have to echo the previous posts about your support system. Allie's story has taught me how to really, really pray. I have been in constant prayer for you all every waking moment since I first read about her in the paper, and it struck me today how many other children need this prayer. I am sure there are many others who have now decided to keep all of these children in their prayers, but we do not know all of their stories. I am thankful that I can pray specifically for Allie. I just know she's going to make it. We are all battering the gates of heaven on Allie's behalf, and we won't stop until she is cancer-free. She is a light to this world, and the fact that you're sharing your story has caused a miracle - thousands of people who've never met are praying with one voice, all at once. How amazing. Okay, I could go on and on, but I'd better just sign off with my wishes.

I've been keeping up with Allie's story since it was first posted over at babycenter. Well, for the most part...in June, I believe, you posted about remission and I got caught up in nursing school and didn't keep updated. What brought me back was another post at babycenter. I has shocked to see how things had turned around in such a short time period. Once again, I'm shocked. But this time in a GOOD WAY. She is definitely fighting this thing with all she's got. It's funny you should mention getting her whites up and stuff today, I was just thinking that yesterday when she was 10%. All she needs to do now is increase her white count and keep dropping those blasts! Here's hoping tomorrow is 5% or less. The way she's been dropping lately, I wouldn't be surprised.
Allie, I think of you many times a day. You truely are a miracle.

Hello, fellow Big Brother 5 fan!! Natalie is outta there, I know the faces had to have made you laugh tonight. We are also big fans. I could write forever, but seeing how overwhelming this is I'll keep it short. I've been following, crying, praying with you everyday, but have never written. Tonight, I had to after your post. The reason you have such support is because your are sharing your heart and soul with everyone. That is so very rare and is awesome. Even though I have no idea how bad it is for you, I feel your pain as I am a momma too (Drew-2 and Ashlee-5wks) I know you probably have male supporters, but I'm willing to bet that the majority are Mommas like us. Oh, I was reading when you mentioned Karen and Gary Anderson. I am their dental hygienist in Mesquite and they are unbelievable people! I got chills when I realized that they know you personally. Isn't it amazing how we all connect? O.K., I've got to let you rest. I'm here if you want to talk. I know that sounds crazy with all of the friends you have, but my husband is a Middle School Principal and feels the same way about his job as you do (you are still a teacher this minute, so I'm using present tense. You are just on leave.) There aren't many of you and I admire you so much. My love and prayers are with you every minute!

Hi, I just want to let you know that I pray for all of the sick kids and people out there but say a special prayer for the ones on 12 south every night because I check your site, Annie's site, and Dana's site daily and feel closer to your stories. Though I don't know any of you I am so inspired by your stories and the courage you all have to hold up during such troubled times. Don't feel guilty for having such a great support system but thank you for reminding everyone that there are more sick people out there that need help! I pray that your dr is right and that some day noone will have to go through this heartbreak and pain and that there will be a pill or vaccine or something to make this all history. Allie is making history and she is going to beat this thing! Go Allie go!

Jenny and Andrew - Your story has touched so many people and I can only imagine how overwhelming that must be. It's hard enough to be battling this disease without having to worry about becoming a celebrity too! I lost my dad last April to lung cancer. It was so hard to watch him deterioriate and be able to do nothing. I can't imagine how it must feel to watch your child suffering through that. I am so glad that Allie's blasts are decreasing and I pray that they continue to go down and that her white cells start to come up. I pray that you and Andrew continue to have the strength to get through each and every day. I hope and pray that your story has a happy ending!

Jenny and Andrew, It's been a while since I've written, but I continue to pray for you all everyday. Keep the faith. Know that even when you can't verbalize prayers, God knows your thoughts and your heart. And know that you have others who are standing in the gap for you. We love you very much.

Hi Scott Family! I heard of you through BabyCenter! I am from the May 2003 birth board! Yall have been in my and my family's daily prayers since you announced Allie's diagnosis a few months ago! I anxiously wait to read your post every single night. It sounds like you have one amazing baby girl on your hands but, of course, yall already know this! I honestly was expecting the worst after one of you posts last week and I sent the link to your website to everyone I knew, I am pretty positive some of those prayers were heard! And, good for you for spoiling that precious girl rotten and letting her sleep on your chest!! =) I just love that you do that! Babies are for spoiling and your special baby especially deserves it! She is a little fighter, a very strong a determined little girl, and she has two awesome parents that never let her forget she is the light of their lives!
Take care and keep spoiling Princess Allie!!

I am so thankful I stumbled across all of you. I have been praying in faith for a miracle and I believe God is able to do it. I cry every night as I read your story and I so sorry for your suffering. Little Allie is so beautiful and your strength amazes me. I do not know how you do it, except for God's grace. As a mother of two young children I amazed at you all! I promise to continue to lift you all up and cry out for a miracle from God. He is able. He is the same God from the Bible who could heal with just a touch. He is the almighty physician. God bless you all with peace and faith!!
Lord Jesus,
Please go to this family right now. Please send encouragement and strength to them. I pray you would give Allie's parents and doctor's divine wisdom with her treatment. I pray you would help her body to produce healthy white blood cells. Oh God I pray you would touch Allie's body and do a miracle. Do what only you can do Lord Jesus. You are awesome and great and I pray you would bring glory to your name by giving Allie complete and total healing. I pray you would bless Allie with long life and that you would use her for your glory! Pour out your Holy Spirit on this family, please give them faith to continue to believe in you. God We are looking to you, Allie's creator for a miracle, but we know nothing is to hard for you. Thank you for being a prayer answering God. I love you and praise you. And I ask that you will show yourself faithful to your word by healing Allie. Give her total health physical, mental, and spiritual. Restore the days the locuts have eaten. Draw her family nearer and nearer to you. In Jesus precious and mighty name. Amen

I have passed your story on to our 24 prayer band at church. They will be praying every day for Allie and you.

I love to hear the wonderful updates on Allie and on those hard days I cry with you all and just sit and pray. Allie's life is touching so many out there. Oh, I have to admit I am a big brother watcher also, so your not alone there. :)

Hi Jenny, Andrew and Beautiful Allie,

I am new to your site, introduced through CCN, and have become completely drawn to your story. Allie is truly a miracle...she is fighting and continues to amaze every day. You both are a blessing to so many, with your strength and courage. The difficulties you have faced and are facing certainly seem unsurmountable...I am humbled by your spirit and faith. I too am going through a very difficult time with my son...not responding to treatment, DNR has been put into place, oxygen in the house...all the things that you as a parent never dream of having to face. It is tough, but I am encouraged when I read stories such as yours. I pray for Allie, her doctors and your family. I trust God's will be done for her. God Bless & Thank you.

Dear Jenny, Andrew and baby Allie, Just want you to know that while you may feel "guilty" for all the attention your family has received, you are right in thinking that perhaps your story (and Sam's) has raised awareness of childhood cancers that parents like myself would have never known about. I truly believe that there are many many hundreds of people your story has touched and many many hundreds and thousands of dollars (not to mention blood and platelet donations) will be poured into cancer research because you have opened your life to us. Thank you for sharing this journey and your remarkable little girl with us and speaking from your heart. You will remain in our prayers and in our hearts! Sharon, BBC July 2003

Allie,

I am glad that you were feeling better today and that you had a fun time playing. I have been thinking about you today. I started an "Allie's Angels" team for the walk here in Richmond, VA. It is such an honor to walk for you. I hope the neupogen will create new WBC's and that the blasts will stay away. You're a strong fighter so I know you can do it. I am praying for another fun and exciting Baby Einstein filled day tomorrow (my baby girl loves the Baby Einstein dvd's too)!! I loved seeing your pictures. You are so beautiful. Take care sweetie. Sleep tight and comfortably. We love you!!!! Jennifer and Katharine in Richmond, VA

Dear Jenny, Andrew and Adorable Allie,
Jenny, I just want to let you know that I have been faithfully following your journal all summer. I am glad to see that Allie is such a fighter. Thank you for taking the time to keep us all up to date. There has not been a day that goes by that I have not thought of Allie. She is so precious. I was out of town most of the summer but I was able to check in every few days to check on her. I havn't been writing, but I am here and I am thinking about you. I will be walking in the "Light the Night Walk" with Team Lavendou in honor and support of Allie. Much love, Kirsten

Dear Jenny, Andrew and Allie,

I read your postings everyday and so does my daughter, Kayla VanCleve. You might be wondering why Kayla's name is not on the 12South board anymore. If you read my postings at caringbridge.org/tx/kaylavancleve you will know why. Please let Dana know this too, as I read her postings too. It's like a morning 'fix' for me; I have to find out about you guys. (I only drink coffee when I am at 12South, pacing)

I am so concerned, but yet amazed by Allie's fluctuations and stamina. Your child is everything you say and more. I look at her and Sam's face everyday and feel blessed that I have 'met' them.

Last year Kayla had a team in the 'Light the Night' walk in Plano, but we don't know about this year yet. It has been such a struggle to just deal with all of this. And I live in Colorado.

I'll be reading your postings in the morning. God bless.

Hello Scott Family! I don't usually sign guestbooks, but I felt compelled (like a million others apparently) to write and let you know of yet another family praying for yours. Your beautiful baby girl is on the prayer list at our church and at my mom's church. I pray for her several times a day as I'm sure many other people do as well. May the Lord give you strength and bring you and your family many blessings in the future. Allie has captured my heart - I pray she keeps on being the little fighter she has been thus far!

Prayers and Positive Thoughts from another transplant family. My 10yo daughter Carrie had a BMT @ Boston's Children's Hospital in June '97. (she just celebrated her 7th re-birthday!) She was 2.5yo at the time and her oldest brother was her donor. Her timeframe and until this week her experiences were almost identical to Allie's.

I'm so happy to see that things are improving! I hope that in 7yrs I'm reading about tales of Allie's normal, almost 8yo shenanigans!!! Go Allie Go!!! Feel free to email me if you'd like.

Is this really the same baby from a week ago?? really??? She is playing and all sorts of stuff! Amazing. Remarkable. Untouchable. Simply god speed.

Jenny, Andrew and last but not least Allie,

What a strong little girl you have! I have been following your story the last few weeks and in awe over her fight. No little child should have to endure so much, yet she does so courageously. In turn, no parents should have to go through what you guys have had to go through. I am saying many prayers that this latest treatment works and Allie can beat this once and for all.

On a side note, my son got to see "Big Sophie" at Texas Oncology the other day. He thought it was SOOO neat! That was so very kind of you to donate it to the clinic. I know it will bring a lots of joy to all the kids who have to go there!

Lots of love and prayers for you all.

Hi Jen, Andrew and little Allie,
Thought I'd write here instead of e-mail because I don't want you to feel like you have to write back. It's amazing to read your guest book! Someone told me that Allie's picture is hanging in the major hospital in Wichita. I'm so amazed at how word has spread! You guys are in my thoughts daily and people are always asking how things are going for you. It was great to hear today's news and there have been days in the past when I cried with you during those difficult times. I'm soooo glad you have Dana and Annie as support. School starts for me tomorrow so I've been busy getting ready. I'm still a little sick at times (I was playing outside with Cree Sunday night and had to decide to go to the trees or try to make it to the toilet :( but I'm feeling much better and starting to get some energy back. I'm at 4.5 months and we might find out the sex next week (week 15 or we might have to wait till week 19 - the end of Sept). I get to tell the students tomorrow. It should be fun. I won't talk anymore about babies or school b/c I know those are 2 difficult subjects for you. Frank sends his love and tell your mom Hi for me. We just keep praying that Allie will beat this nasty disease! Wish I was closer so I can see you more often - I'll be in Dallas the weekend of Oct 8 for a youth pastor conference so I'll plan on seeing you then.

Allie is extraordinary and I pray that through the Dr.'s, medicine, TLC and most of all a 'miracle' from God that she will beat this dreaded disease. And that He will give you & your family the strength and support to go through this. It's obvious the support is overflowing and that is so wonderful! God's blessings to you all and XO's to Allie!

I found your website while checking out Babycenter.com. I cliked on it because I have family with the last name Scott, so I thought it would be fun to check this out. I wasn't expecting to find what I found. I read your journals about Alley and I was deeply saddened. What a beautiful little girl you have! And what a fighter! You are in my prayers. I check your website every few days and I say a prayer everytime I do. I'm so glad things seem to be better at the moment. Stay strong and continue to pray. God will get you through this!

Dear Scott family,

Someone sent me a link to your site today, and told me to pray for your baby girl. I read all of your posts, and my heart truely goes out to you and your family. I will continue to pray for Allie, and you all. I know that prayer works. My mother struggled with breast cancer in 2000. I KNOW that God touched her because she would get a treatment, then go garage saling 3 days later. She was in the 4th stage of cancer, and she pulled through so quickly. She has been cancer free for over 4 years now.

We are more than conquerers through Jesus Christ, and by his stripes we ARE healed. You stand on that, and always remember, when hope is not enough....there is Jesus.

P.S. I will tell everyone I know to pray for Allie.

PRAISE THE LORD!!!!! My prayer is for Allie to continue to make such great progress in her brave fight with such a frightening disease. Also, I pray for a calming peace to be with Jenny and Andrew as they endure all of Allie's highs and lows in this incredible leukemia fight. May the Lord bless you both with a long, adventurous life with your beautiful girl. Please know that there are so many people (most of whom you have never even met-amazing,huh?!) praying for strength for your entire family. All you have to do is ask, and then you will know your prayers are being lifted up to the Lord by countless many.

Jenny, Andrew, and Little Allie,
WOW!!! 8 percent!!!! Praise God!!!

I felt it on my heart to let you know that you are being prayed for here in Tennessee. My husband and I have felt it deeply on our hearts that we were meant to intervene through fervent prayer for little Allie. Our 4 year old, Kyra, also says a prayer for baby Allie every night before she goes to sleep.

I know that sometimes it is very hard to understand all the bad and the hurting that goes on in this world. I don't understand it either, but I do know that God hears our prayers, and that he wants us to come to him with them.

Allie is a very special child of God, and whatever time she has here on Earth has not been wasted; whether it be short or very long. We are praying and trusting that she lives a long, healthy, blessed life. I know you have not given up on her by a long shot, and neither have we here in Tennessee!
We love you Allie!!!!!

Dear Scott family:

The thoughts and prayers of your ACIS family are with you every day. Jenny, Andrew and Amazing Allie - you truly are an inspiration.

Every day I wear my yellow bracelet and say a prayer for Allie's speedy recovery. It's quite humbling to read the guestbook entries and see just how many people are thinking of you at every moment. It's like seeing a chain of light around the world.

LIVESTRONG!!!!!

Princess Allie, Jenny and Andrew - I am so glad to hear the latest results! You go warrior girl...you kick that leukemia butt...we all know that you can! Your post today Jenny made me smile and I've needed that lately....your girl has that affect on me...she knows just when we all need that smile of hers, as I'm sure you're well aware :) I am so glad that she has been improving day after day after day. My faith was starting to wan a little and needless to say she's restored it...yet again :) I'm very glad that you are doing better as well. I can tell by the tone of your post. I'm sorry that I haven't been on in a couple of days to give you my support, but please know that your family is never far from my thougths. I pray every day for Allie's continued improving health. I pray that you and Andrew continue to find the strength in one another that you need to get through this. I pray that Feldon's XY test goes well tomorrow and they find a whole lot more girl chromosomes that they do boy chromosomes :) I pray that Sammy doesn't have to be readmitted to 12 south. That his IVIG goes well and that if he does have GVHD, that's it's a very mild case and can be cleared up quickly. I'm praying that Allie's fever stays down and that she continues to kick that leukemia butt! I pray that her organs continue to function normally. I hope that you get to see some smiles today :)

As always I am sending you tons of ++++ warrior vibes and above all PRAYERS that whatever it is that's working, continues to work :)

All our love, hugs, strength and PRAYERS always

Andrew, Jenny and Allie:
I am a BabyCenter Mom - my son was born in Oct. of 2001. I have been following your story for the past couple of months. It has truly touched me and I continue to pray for Allie's recovery. I recently accepted a position to work at ALSAC/St. Jude Children's Research Hospital here in Memphis, TN. I will be working in Fundraising, raising money to hopefully find a cure someday for the diseases that cause our children to suffer. I just wanted you to know that Allie will be in my heart as I work every day. I admire you very much for pouring your heart out every night after what you must go through on a daily basis. Just know that it has helped many other mother's view their lives, children and families differently. You have truly given many people an amazing gift in the midst of such personal tragedy. I wish you love and understanding and the feeling of comfort from all of these Mother's around the world who think of you and your family every day.

I admire the strength and love you have all shown these past few months...I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers that Allie will be able to pull through this - we love you Allie.

"How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as ... love?"
- Albert Einstein

And there's your quote for the day... not as cheesy as yesterday, which is a good thing altogether. OK granted the quote is actually about "first love" but it still applies here!

I can't tell you how happy it makes me that the last test showed 8% blasts. Luckily no one noticed me jumping up and down and hooting and hollering - the machinery out here is just too loud (small blessings!)

Thanks for coming on to BBC and giving us the update. I know you both must be ... what? Thrilled? Conflicted? Amazed? Probably all of the above?

Here's hoping for REMISSION REMISSION REMISSION!!!!

Hi Jenny and Andrew,

I am glad to read that your beautiful blessing is doing a little better. Allie is truly a fighter, isn't she? What an amazing baby you've been blessed with. You are continually in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for taking the time to write regular updates Jenny. Andrew - hang tough Dad, God and that incredibly strong and loving wife of yours will bring you through this. The love you two constantly exhibit for one another as life partners comes shining through and is very humbling to me as I read your updates and browse through your family picures. Reading of Allie's struggles are a blatent reminder that what I tend to label as "problems" in my own life are actually pretty trivial when there are children like Allie waging a daily battle for their survival. Thank you for helping to keep my priorities straight. God is working through your family to touch many other lives.

love,
Irene Mills

Morning Allie :) I just ssent my 5 yr old off to school, and put my 14 mo old down for her nap. I just thought I would get on and let you know, Im thinking of you!!! Always am. Can you imagine if I got on here every time I thought about you and wrote? You would be filled with Shelly from MESA ARIZONA thoughts!

My 5 yr old, Ariella drew a picture for you with help from me. She asked if shes could color for you and asked if I would help make stuff too. I said sure. I will take a photo of that tonight with her holding it and send it Allie's way :)

Allie, I hope you SMILE some today, Gigve Mama and Daddy and grin, even if its only half! They sure would enjoy it. I sent out en email to ALOT of people I know and asked them all for their thoughts, prayers ane wishes for you. I hope you are getting them :)

Andrew & Jenny,
My name is Courtney Williams...Andrew knows me...I work at the Reunion Title on Sherry Lane. I have been so moved by your story and your strength that I would like to do something in your/Allie's honor. I have done this before, but I would like to either run a marathon or triathalon with The Leukemia Society in Allie's name and raise money for your cause. Why am I doing this? Well, Andrew knows that we had our first baby girl a few months before Allie was born and we have been so blessed...her name is Paige. Anyhow, I just want to do something... I wanted you to know what I was thinking and get your thoughts. I would also like to come down and meet Jenny and see Allie at a time that is convenient and appropriate and I'll be happy to bring lunch or dinner....

To Scott Family. I read your article and have been checking up on Allie ever since. It seems to me that she is getting better. I know you are caustiously optimistic. We have been and will continue to pray for her recovery. My husband donated platelets at Carter Bloodcare and he asked that they be put in Allie's "account." I think when Allie is all cured, you should write a book on this experience. You write very well and what a story! Just a suggestion.

Dallas, TX USA - Tuesday, August 24, 2004 11:53 AM CDT
We don’t know each other, but I saw a post on the SHRM board about your family. Since then, I have checked your site almost daily for Allie updates. I am a mother to a 2 ½ year old little boy and I simply can’t imagine what you are going through. My heart feels like it is being squeezed every time I read the updates, yet I still feel compelled to do so. What you and your family are going through is unspeakable and something that no one should have to deal with. The unfortunate and unavoidable part of that is of course it does happen and it IS happening….
Realizing that nothing anyone says can make it better for you…I just want you to know that your family’s story has touched me so much. I’m sure part of it is because I lost my father to leukemia (ALL) 4 years ago, but more so because I am a Mom also and my son is my whole heart. You make me hug and kiss him even more than I already do, and not complain when he’s being challenging or just plain cranky. I tell him that I love him so many times a day because I am grateful for every single minute that I have with him. I knew that before, of course I did, but you make me SEE it unbelievably so…

I will pray for a miracle for all of you and especially for your beautiful Allie. I’ll even send up a special prayer to my Dad to see if he can lend a helping hand for your family.

Stay strong and know that people everywhere have their virtual arms around you!

I learned of your beautiful daughter through a friend on another group site and I must say I haven't stopped thinking of your family since. You and your husband are two of the strongest people. The love you have for Allie and the other kiddos on # 12 shows in your posts. My whole church is praying for you and your family. Allie is a fighter with the greatest Physician, our sweet healing Lord on her side. You can see in her eyes she is a fighter. I pray not only for Allie's total healing, but also for your continued strength.I cannot even pretend to know the battles you face every day, but as a parent to an 11 1/2 month old I know the lengths I would go for her. Every ounce of blood I give, every Platlet will be donated in Allie's name until she is home and no longer needs it. My mom is doing the same. I wanted to let everyone know what I found out at the Carter BloodCare Center in Ft. Worth. They said as long as I donate at a DFW center that I could donate in Allie's name, even though I live in Palo Pinto county about 50 miles to the west. I would encourage all those wanting to give blood or platelets to call the Carter BloodCare Center and ask about this. Also know that if you donate in Allie's name you will need the name of the hospital where she is at and her full name.
May God Bless You and Keep You in HIS Care.

I just wanted to let you all know that I am praying for you all right now. I know that the Lord has something WONDERFUL in store for Allie. Only time will tell what that is though. I personally am a mother to 3 young children and to see you being as strong as you are for Allie is amazing. Stay strong and believe in God. Trust that He will NEVER give you more than you can handle. He loves Allie more than you ever could. I know she will have a wonderful life with you. Trust in Him and He will provide.

Jenny, Andrew and Allie, especially Allie - Thank you for sharing this most difficult time with us. I don't know if I should say this, or even if it will come out right, but thank you so much for making me appreciate my twin 15-month olds. When the going gets so hard doing it on my own, I remember you all, and the amazing strength you show as you go through this. As I was praying for Allie last night, one of my girls woke and wanted to come sleep with me. Usually, that is a source of frustration for me, but now, I'm just so grateful that they are here. We had a very crowded king-size bed last night, as I had to have both in with me, and so grateful to have them. I know how you feel, Jenny, about not being able to pray right now. That's okay - that's what we are here for. It's okay to let someone else have the burden while you concentrate your engergies on your Allie. And I am SO SO GLAD you had the opportunity to take some time for YOU over the last couple days. For two reasons - number one, you needed the refreshment to be able to come back to your child better able to be there for her; and number two, it means that Allie was feeling well enough that you felt comfortable leaving for a bit. HOORAY! That is a wonderful thing! The first thing I do each morning is check on our Allie, as she has become known to me and my girls, and I keep my tiny office updated each and every day. We celebrate each triumph with you all, and suffer each setback. Know that there are so many more thinking and praying for you that don't post on this guestbook. Thank you again, so much, for letting us into your lives.

Thank you for giving us the opprtunity to be part of Allie's progress. I think of her daily!!! Every morning I read the post from the previous day! So happy about this mornings news.

On 8/8/04, Jenny wrote: "Its just difficult for me to figure out what to pray for anymore."

Jenny, don't beat yourself up for feeling this way... let US pray for you. Just keep talking to the Lord.... even if it's just a quick 'hi'.... and we will lift you, your family, the hospital, the Doctors, up in prayer.

Heavenly Father,

I come before you today Lord, and thank you for keeping your hands on the Scott family as they go through this trial that has fallen upon them. Lord, I thank you for the outpouring of love from family, friends, and complete strangers. I thank you for the many prayers that surely are reaching your ears.

Father, I ask that you give the Doctors wisdom as they tend to baby Allie. Please guide their hearts, their actions, and how they treat Allie's disease. Most of all, please make yourself real to them, so that they know that ultimately YOU are in charge, and somehow will use this for your glory.

Father, I pray for baby Allie, that you protect her from suffering, that you help her body to fight off this awful disease. Help her to get the sleep she needs, to eat properly, to be calm as much as possible, to bring joy to everyone she comes in contact with. Please touch her body in a strong & mighty way, Lord... for you are a mighty God.

Father, please be with Andrew & Jenny as they walk this path. Please wrap your arms around them, give them a peace, help them to give this entire battle to you, Lord. Father, comfort them... and take any anxiety, fears and sadness from their hearts. Please help them to cherish every moment with Allie, and give them the strength they need to move forward. Father, when they don't have the strength, please help them to step back to regenerate. Be real to them, Lord, and continue to send people to give comfort, to help carry them through this.

Father, most of all I pray that through this many come to salvation through the testimony of this tiny baby. We don't know why this has happened, but I pray that you be glorified, and that Allie's testimony ultimately leads to others coming to know you as their personal savior.

Father, I thank you for hearing my prayer, and the hundreds of prayers of those who know of baby Allie's fight... and I give you the honor & glory, and worship your mighty name... I thank you for helping us see the good that this situation can bring.

In the name of your son Jesus Christ,

Amen

Hi Jenny and Andrew,

I just wanted to let you know that I just recently found out about Allie through a prayer warriors group, that I became apart of. Since I first went to your site, I have been reading the journal entries every day. I have been reading more everyday. I want to find out how she is doing today. I have laughed, cried and been upset right along with you guys when I read the entries.
I am pregnant with my own little girl, her name will be Kasondra Daisy. I am due on October 21st. Every evening when my husband comes home he askes is there any changes yet? And I've been reading some of the entries to him.
I just know that God is working in Allie, she is a fighter, the exact kind of person God created her to be a fighter. I know that I wouldn't know what to do if I were in your shoes, I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like. I am praying for a miracle. I believe that God is in the miracle working business still today. We just have trust Him and believe expecting when we pray. May God give you a peace that passes all understanding, through all of this. My heart goes out to you.

Love in Christ,
Kris

Hi Jenny,
My name is Shannon and I live in Rochester, MN. I read your posts on your website every day I'm at work. I pray for Allie every day and I believe that she is going to beat this. I'm elated to hear that her blasts are down to 10% and I am praying that her fever does not present any infection. I have 2 boys ... Stephen is 2 1/2 and Jonathan is 10 months old. You have an amazing strength Jenny and we are all so proud of you. You are a wonderful inspiration to us all and an incredible mother. May God continue to strengthen you and provide you unending love and support.

Jenny - this is Justin McDowell's mom and I check the website everyday to see how you guys are doing. I let Justin know as well, but I'm sure that you know, he's a boy and he listens makes a comment and then goes on to the next thing. So both my kids are thinking about Allie and so do I. Justin REALLY misses having you as his French teacher. Ms. Vrooman is very nice, but he liked the way you taught better. But I do think that he is warming up to her. She is playing lots of games in the classroom. And they picked new names, he is now Olivier (instead of Jean-...whatever he was). I asked how he came up with that and he said he closed his eyes and pointed. Thank God he didn't get a girl's name!!! anyway, I can't imagine living your life right now. I was driving the other day and thinking about it and I have my day-to-day things to do, but it's very opposite of what you do. But we both love our kid(s)and that is the same. Stay strong and your attitude has been wonderful and real!!! Allie will treasure this life journal for ever and get some great laughs from the pictures you have taken. She looked a little "stoned" looking at her toy yesterday!!! Those are black mail pictures and should be used wisely at the wedding receptions!!!! Take care - Mary McDowell

Dear Jenny & Andrew,
So glad the guestbook is up and running. I've been wanting to write for the last week or two and share this story. I don't know if you remember the bunny I bought you (Allie) when I found out you were pregnant, but Sam (my 9 year old) was with me and wanted the same one also. About 2 weeks ago I was telling Sam how his bunny Fluffy's "co-owner" was very sick and in the hospital. He has been so concerned about her. We went on your site and he's looked through all the photos you've posted. Since then, every night when he says his prayer, he's had an addendum which goes like this: "Please Lord, I beg you, please, please, please make Allie better".
I just wanted you guys to know that prayers for Allie are being said double in our household and that we're thinking about you morining, noon, and night.
All my love,
Olga (and Sam) Nohra

We are transplanted Texans from Fort Worth who are in Florida for a time right now. I heard about your story and have been following your journal entries for about a week. I am a previous pediatric heme/onc nurse (I worked at Cook in Ft Worth). I retired when my first daughter was born in 2000. I have such a special place in my heart for children like Allie - they are so incredible. Please know that I am praying for her and for you guys - for increased "good" cells and for those blasts to completely disappear. Todays journal entry was such a blessing for me to hear - I am praising God for such good news. I pray that all the prayers from around the world lift you up and give you joy and peace right now. Hugs From Florida!!!

I can not tell you how excited I was to read your amazing news. (I can not imagine the elation you guys had when you heard it) I read your post this morning and did a little "Go Allie" dance in my office at home. Of course, I had to pass this wonderful news on to my husband who was super excited for you guys as well. Praise God. So glad to hear about her counts. I will be praying all day about the fever and praying for NO infection. I hope you guys have an awesome day! I hope you guys get smiles today! Can't wait to see pictures of you and your new haircut. Much Love- Kristel

Jenny, Me and my family have been praying for you and Allie ever since we read the first article written about you and Sam's family many weeks ago. I have so wanted to sign your guestbook, but you guys have had so much trouble getting it going. I just want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers constantly. I have never battled cancer of any kind, but as I have stated in Dana's guestbook, I have almost lost both of my boys at their births. I have four kids (two girls and two boys), and my boys both almost died). I spent many sleepless nights in the hospital just as you are. The only difference is that my boys were in the NICU, so I couldn't be by their bedside at all times. This was heartwrenching! I could only see them every few hours for about 30 minutes at a time. They were both at Medical City, so I know firsthand, that Allie is getting the best of care. The doctors and nurses there are top notch. Keep the faith Jenny, you are an inspiration, and I feel certain that Allie is drawing her strength from you.

Myself, my 15 year old son, and my 12 year old daughter are praying for you guys regularly, and anxiously await your journal entries. I would love to lend a listening ear if you need one, but I know that Dana is there for you, and that is Awesome! Meanwhile we will keep praying for you, your husband, and Allie. What a beautiful baby she is---it makes me want my youngest to be that age again soon. They grow way too quickly. My baby will be 4 tomorrow, and it feels like it was just yesterday, that we were praying over him often to save his life, and for him to gain weight.

Have a GREAT day with your precious baby Allie, and we will look forward to hearing about your day later tonight.

Allie has touched so many hearts. She is a beautiful little angel, inside and out. I also have a young daughter and I hold her a little tighter every day because of you. Your family is an inspiration to us all. Although I don't know Allie, I love her like my own. KEEP FIGHTING BABY GIRL!!! You are in our thoughts and prayers every single day.

You guys are an inspiration. With all of the challenges that has been brought before you, it is apparent that you have stepped up to that challenge. I know you guys live in Allen and have a general idea where you live. I ride my bike by there at least twice a day, along with my yellow wrist band, thinking about your family. I say a short prayer asking God to give you strength. Once again, YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION.

Dear Jenny and Andrew,

I tried to send you a quick note the other day. I'm not certain though, that it got through. I just want you both to know that Ed and I are thinking of you and that we love you. I read your entry every day (and keep Ed posted) and have to say that this is one of the best I've read in a long time. Go Allie!

Oddly enough, Jenny, it just occurred to me not too long ago that Allie is my niece. Aunt Sharon included a picture of the baby in my Christmas card...which, though it looks nothing like her now, sits on my entertainment stand. It also occurred to me that the last time I saw you, you were twelve and stayed over our house. Do you remember when you stubbed your toe on the tile in the bathroom and it bled everywhere??? That, I have to say is probably one of my grossest first memories.

Anyways, not trying to waste space, just want you to know we love you all. We root for Allie on a daily basis!

Jenny and Family,

I am so glad to hear some promising news. I know it must make your heart a little lighter. Allie is obviously a fighter and I bet she knows how lucky she is to have such wonderful parents fighting for her. Not every parent could do this and put aside their own fears and heartache in order to make their children secure and unafraid. It sounds like you are all lucky to have a great support system and bond with those around you to make this journey with you. We will continue to pray for you and send those who ask to donate in Allie's name.

Your story is both heatbreaking and inspirational. I have been following the updates and have just kept quiet until now. Everyday I say a little prayer for Allie and for your heart that is so full of love for this child. My daughter was in the hospital for only a week and the stress and worry had taken it's toll on all of us. I cannot even imagine what you are going through. They say God will only give us what we can handle so you must be a very strong and loving family. I also know the hurt and anger involved in something like this and I hope you know it is ok to feel like thos emotions. I have been to the N Tx Childrens hosp. a few times to throw Queen for a Day parties. I am always amazed at the strength displayed in these childrens. Bright smiles where no smiles should be. Every inch of them a little child with rays of hope beaming from their faces. They are always there to remind us that when times seem their worst they always have hope and the strength to keep fighting! I know it must be hard to have so many strangers leaving you messages. Just know so many prayers must be helping. I hope you find peace and I will pray for your daughter. She looks like a little angel and I know she is precious to you.

Andrew, Jenny and Beautiful Allie Girl,
My mother, Sherry, is a good friend of Frances' and since learning about Allie I am humbled every day by Beautiful Allie Girl. (That's her new official name by the way):) When I haven't the strength to be all I can, I think of Allie and I feel strength. She is such an inspiration. When I pray for your family, I think about what Allie has endured and what God is going to do about it. I just know she's going to make it through. It's God's time to shine and remind us of miracle. God chooses a time and place to shine and reveal His grace and I truly feel that day is approaching for Beautiful Allie Girl. I hope today is a good day for Allie. I hope today is a good day for Jenny and Andrew. I hope today is the day God reveals His grace. I expect a miracle for Allie. Tell Allie to keep fighting the good fight. She reminds me of my own daughter-both beautiful and no hair. That's OK though. They say little hair when they are young means full, thick hair when they get older. Have a great day!

Hi Andrew, Jenny, and Allie! Ok, you don't know me, but I live right next door in East Plano and feel like I know your family. My daughter's babysitter (she is seven months old) is in Allen and every morning when I go to Allen I think about your family and every night before I go to sleep I pray for you. I believe very strongly in the power of prayer, when my son was one we needed all the prayers we could get for an arachnoid cyst that was found, and now he is a thriving almost eight year old! Someday that will be Allie, I just know it. I am so pleased and happy to read yesterday's entry, GO ALLIE!!! Also, even though we don't know each other personally, anything I can do to help your family, please email me. I live very close to you and also know Medical City very well.

Anyway, have a great day Ms. Allie, I am thinking about you!

Andrew, Jenny, and Allie, I pray for you every day. I am amazed by all of you, and you have taught me so much through this. I know by reading every day that Allie "kicks butt," just like I have seen her mother do in every task she takes on. Andrew, the things you have said about your daughter are so touching. We all know that Jenny doesn't ever meet a stranger, but you have touched all of our lives, too. You remain in my prayers each day. I have collected the articles about you and tell everyone I know about you because you have so much love for Allie that we all love her, too!

She has already proven how strong she is. Your story just touches my heart so deeply that we love baby Allie and we don't even know her. Just know you are in ALOT of peoples thoughts and prayers.

I also want to give you as her parents the much deserved credit! Your dedication is astounding, and you give me inspiration to manage my patience with my lil boys and realize how blessed I am!

My older daughter loves Allie and wants so badly for her to get better, and my baby girl goes nuts when we look at Allie's pictures. She loves other babies and she really squeels when she sees Allie. Allie is such a fighter and I wish I could just give her a big hug. She and your family are my heroes. Your positiveness is so incredible, and support system (family) is so unbelieveable also.
Best of luck to you all. Just know that you've got people praying for you in Iowa. :)

WAY TO GO, ALLIE!!!!! Keep up the good work. I have been keeping up with your postings since I read the first article in the Dallas Morning News. I am a 2 year cancer survivor. I am keeping you and Andrew and little Princess Allie in my prayers. God Bless You!

Another stranger but from a bit farther than usual...
Love and prayers are coming from the Dominican Republic, all day long... I'm sooooo HAPPY that Allie's blasts are at 10%, I understand this does not mean the end of it, but I'm pretty sure Allie will keep fighting, and I will keep praying for her health and comfort...and also for you Jenny & Andrew the most brave parents I've never known of!!!

I am so excited to hear the latest count! Wow! Allie is such a fighter - last week who would have thought things would turn around so well. I know we all had our doubts, but we never gave up hope! And we never will! I continue to pray for Allie everyday, and every time I talk to my mom on the phone she asks for an update - she has really touched our lives so much! Prayers for continued success!

Hi Jenny, Andrew and Allie

I am also a stranger living in Plano, Tx. I found your story about two weeks ago and have been checking in daily. I am sooo excited for this new turn and I hope and pray that she makes it through the fever with no infection! You all are an inspiration to many I am sure. Much love and happiness to you three. I hope you get to share that for a long time to come.

I am one of the many strangers rooting for Allie here on the sidelines. Your writing is so eloquent, Jenny, it touches my heart each day. I can't be there in the rollercoaster to ride with you, but I can sure be here on the ground, crossing my fingers that you all make it to the finish as a happy, healthy family.

Hi Jenny, Andrew, and precious baby Allie,
I am also a "stranger" to you, but Allie's story has touched my heart. I simply cannot believe what an adorable little girl Allie is, and how strong she (and her parents) have been through this ordeal. I was SO happy to see her counts today - YAY!!! I check your site every morning now, and I pray for your family each and every day. I have added Allie to my church's prayer list - we have over 3,000 members, so that's alot of praying going on! Jenny, you had asked in an earlier post whether Allie could be any more beautiful, and my answer to you is no, she could not. She is simply a gorgeous little girl, and I look forward to seeing her pretty face every morning when you post pictures. Oh, and I LOVE all her little silky nightgowns - someone is keeping that little angel *very* well-dressed LOL! You and your family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers each and every day. Much love to little Allie!

Woohoo Allie! You go girl! You are truly unbelievable in this fight against leukemia... a real inspiration to anyone fighting against a struggle in life. You look smashing in the little dress I sent for you (at least I'm pretty sure it's the one ;) ). So glad to see you playing on the floor yesterday!! Keep it up sweetie!

Jenny, Andrew, & Allie:

I am a stranger to you, but you are not to me. First thing every morning I check on Allie, and each day I pray for you all. I came across your site a couple of weeks ago from another child's site and your story captured my heart. Through you, I'm also rooting and praying for Sammy, Dana and their family. This morning when I read that Allie's blasts were 10%, I was bouncing in my chair!! You don't recognize my name today, but I hope that you do in the future as it is the name of someone who cares about your family, prays for you and wants to see Allie beat this leukemia! Here's to a great day!!

You don't know me, but I'm one of the legions of babycenter.com loyal followers of your story. Just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of Allie! My friend is participating in Team in Training in Philadelphia, and I asked her to keep Allie in her thoughts and prayers as she trains.

Jenny, Andrew, and baby go getter Allie! I have been following your story for a while now and I have to say I'm addicted. I always say I can't read another day b/c it breaks my heart what Allie has to go thru and what you have to go thru, no child or parent should have to face this! Yet I can't step away! Thru out my day I often wonder how Allie is feeling and how Jenny is holding up and I don't even know you! I think of you guys more then my real live friends! I of course pray for you all day long or at least when your family pops in my head which is often! I will continue to keep your family close to my heart as Allie fights to beat this! I have 2 beautiful children myself and I don't think I could love them any more not until I read your posts and I realize oh yes I can! I really wish there was something I could do to stop this and make Allie and your family better, I know that I can't but I can continue to pray for you all. Jenny I wish I had half the strength you have! You are an amazingly strong woman! Its amazing what a mothers love can do... you are by far the best cheerleader Allie could have!
I will leave you now with hugs and prayers!

Hi Jenny, Andrew and sweet baby Allie. I am amazed daily at your stength and endurance during this time. I am also amazed at the fight Allie has in her. I know we have both said this since May, and I will say it again, we WILL have that playdate. And it will be the best playdate ever! Y'all will come over and Allie will feel right at home...every time I see a pic with her toys in it...I'm like, WOW, Dimitri has that same toy...Hop N Pop, star stacker, animal blocks, and a few giraffes (not as many as Allie has), but maybe she can bring over a few and share with Dimitri. :-) We pray daily for you all. Love, Maria, John and Dimitri

Jenny, Andrew and Allie,
I've been reading your posts every day for the past week, ever since my sister-in-law (Lani Reiff) told me about your story. She "knows" Jenny from the babycenter.com website for December 2003 babies. (Her son Trevor was born just 8 days before Allie.) We've been thinking about little Allie and following your entries to see how she's doing. We've registered to walk in the Light the Night fundraiser in October. I wish that we could do more. Thinking of you all and praying for Allie's recovery.

Oh, I am so glad Allie is doing well! 10% woo hoo! I am praying so hard for our little girl! I read this journal everday and Allie is constantly in my thoughts and prayers. You guys and Allie are SO strong and brave. You've really changed my life and helped me appreciate how good I have it. I give my kids extra hugs and kisses everyday. I look forward to a time when my kids can meet Allie. My baby girl is three months old. Her name is Jaden, she was born May 12th of this year. I hope Jaden and Allie can be friends someday. Take care, all of you. I will continue to keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Please give Allie an extra hug and kiss for me since I can't be there to do it myself. I want so badly to snuggle that little sweetheart!! What a little princess!

Dearest Jenny, Andrew and Allie, Hooray for having the guestbook back!!! You can imagine this old lady's utter frustration with trying to register elsewhere. I'm so happy to see the blast percentage heading down. Now we insist that her temperature follows suit shortly. It's so good that the docs act immediately and puzzle it out later. I'll be cheering for Allie to be having a fine night (while I'm visiting just now) and a good day tomorrow. I'm betting she gets a glimpse of Sam at some point albeit through her window. Please give my best to Fieldon to show his GIRL. Best love to Frances and Sharon plus you three lovers!!! All my love, Jill

Hi Jenny and Andrew or is it "Adrew?",

I have been strolling down memory lane tonight as I have been cleaning Maggie's and Abby's closets and have found numerous pictures and memories of you and Andrew. I came across a photo of Andrew holding Maggie when she was a tiny baby and I had to laugh thinking of all the fun the four of you have had! Yes, it is almost 1:00 a.m. Bob thinks I am a "nut case" as he puts it because I love working at night. What can I say? So great to log on and read happy thoughts from you, my friend! We love you and are thinking of you, Andrew and baby Allie. LOVE, Mary, Bob, Maggie, Abby and of course, the ever-faithful, Ruby.

I don't know you personally but I definitely feel like I do. Allie you are such a tough little girl and your mommy and daddy are amazing. I have read all of the updates posted, seen your T.V. debut on the news, read all of the newspaper articles posted. I live half way across the country but you are very near and dear to my heart. I pray everyday that you come through this and as strong as you have been I have no doubt that you will make it. I have a little girl born 2 weeks after you(12-31-03) and I hug her and my 3 year old a little tighter everyday and know how fragile life can be. We all love you and are fighting right along side of you.

Jenny, Andrew and little Allie-
Thank-you for sharing your journey with us. I read your updates every evening and pray for you all daily. There is some streangth we all gain by sharing our trials with others. This is something I learned two years ago when my little girl speant three days in the PICU with a head injury. She was only two years old and ran off from my dad and got kicked in the head by a horse. It was a terrifying ordeal. Her skull was fractured and she had bleeding on the surface of her brain. Today she is a happy four year old, but not a day goes by when I don't think of those moments when we did not know what the future would hold, life, death, disability... And let me tell you, no matter what happens these moments you are living now will stay with you everyday. A friend whose son was nearly killed at a boy scout camp by a bear attack told me that, and it is true. I don't know why it is that we have to walk thru fire for our children, maybe it is some kind of refining of our love, maybe it is to serve as an example to others, I don't know. I do know that it hurts like hell to see your own child strapped to a board, intubated and flown off in a helicopter to a trauma center 2 hours away from home. I also know that the kindness of strangers makes all the difference. People from our church anonomously paid for a hotel for us so we could be right across the street instead of a few blocks away at the Ronald McDonald house. And the Ronald McDonald house! What a blessing! They were there when we had to return for follow-ups. I could go on and on, but the kindness of others really pulled us thru that difficult time. Right now Katie-Jayne is tormenting her two year old brother! Taking his hat from him and running~ she must be a normal four year old! I am so grateful for that. I pray that one day you will be in my place, watching your little ones play and fight! Know that I pray for you daily. Much aloha from Kerry

It is hard to find the right words to say here as I feel so much that can't be put into words. Since reading about you on the March 04 babycenter board I have been completely wrapped up emotionally in your journey with Allie. Please know (as I am sure you do looking at the size of this guestbook :) ) how much support you have from all over. I wait for your updates every night and have shed many tears on the bad days and enjoyed many laughs on the good days. I talk to my 6 month old daughter every day about Allie - I feel like she is one of my baby's friends! Hopefully all this positive energy coming at Allie around the clock will do some good. She is such a special little girl!!!

You have shared her with us all - thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You have changed alot of lives by sharing with us. You are two amazing people who have been blessed with a beautiful little fighter!

I am so happy for your good news today, and will pray that there is no infection. I wish I could do more for you all. Like others, I feel so helpless.

Go Allie! You can do it!!!!!! If love can pull you through this, you're on your way!

To the Scott Family -
I first became aware of Allie and your website, through a cyber mommies group.
When I started reading your journal entries nightly - I knew I was hooked.
Your baby is such an inspiration - as are each of you!
I pray every night for your daughter - she is now in there with my prayers for my own children.
My husband and my kids know all about Allie - and on the days where the entries are more difficult, they can tell and even my 14 month old came and gave me a hug, one afternoon as I read a particularly emotional entry - that had me in tears, too.
Allie has a part of my heart that I can't explain - except that she has found a way to bank on this mommy's love!
Hugs to all - and continued prayers to all of you!
God Bless!

Jenny & Andrew - I would just like to add that me, and my family and friends are walking the LTN walk Oct 22nd, MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!! We're all buying shirts with Allie on it, Even my 14 mo old and my friends 7 month old, too :) Also, to add to this : My friend, and I are setting up a fund raiser at our childrens school for Allie, and other paitents just like her. We will gather the money for our walk. We hope to get over 300.00 - Maybe more? I'm taking all my birthday money and sending it your way :) You bet! The cool thing is that my children will be wearing Allie on them, and it will be their first donation towards something GREAT in their life and I cant wait to write it down in their baby books :) Ive never walked before in honor of some one, I feel great about it. I'm also perchasing some Sophies to have our children hold on the walk. We're making balloons with Allie's face black n white on them. We'll take pictures for you. This will be great :)

Thank you for sharing Allie, now we can share her and more right back.

Fantasic news today! Keep the good news comming. You will never know what joy your family has brought to my family's life. Your incredible strength and that sweet baby's determination are truly an inspiration. I'm from the Feb '04 babycenter and just want to send my good wishes your way. Kisses to your gorgeous baby. I read your post every night. Funny how people that you never meet can impact your life in such a wonderful way. I'm am grateful for everyday, and pray for your family. When this is all over, we ALL have to get together and meet. Allie's 1yr birthday would be the perfect time :). Bless you all.

I know I am a "stranger," but I just had to let you know that I am always thinking about your sweet Allie & your family. I say prayers for your darling baby girl all the time. She is so precious. I heard about your story from BabyCenter. It broke my heart. The night I sat here reading Allie's story it brought me to tears. You and your husband have been through more than any parent should have to endure. You are so strong. I will continue to keep all of you in my prayers. I already said a prayer for Allie tonight. I pray that she is one angel that God does not need just yet. God Bless you all...

Jenny,

Your post tonight said that you especially welcome messages from people who know you personally. This made me laugh out loud. You may not realize it, but we ALL know you personally! Because of your eloquent, selfless journal, you have shared Allie with the world, and I sometimes feel I "know" you better than people I've known for years! You just don't know us! LOL. I guess that's what celebrities have to deal with all the time!

Anyway, here's yet another post from yet another friend you don't know. A well-wisher who thinks of Allie daily, and who hugs her kids a whole lot tighter these days.

Sending all good thoughts and wishes to you, Andrew, and the amazing, incredible, remarkable (where's the dang thesaurus when you need it) Allie. Way to go, baby! Keep those blasts on the run!!

Dear Scott Family,
My name is Tanya Lloyd and I met you a couple of years ago at Caitlan Lambies birthday party. You were there with Deb. As soon as Heather heard about Allie from Deb she called me to have Allie put on our prayer list at church, where she has been ever since. Your little one is truly amazing and we are pulling for her. You and Andrew are amazing as well. It warms my heart to see just how much you love Allie, it shines through in every word you post!

Jenny, this is the first time I have signed your guestbook, although I have been visiting every night for awhile now to read about Allie. It was difficult to read your entries last week - my heart was breaking for you and Andrew. I am so thankful that joy has overtaken some of the sorrow. I am very excited for the last few days Sweet Baby Allie has had! 10% - Hooray! With all of the love, prayers, and good thoughts being sent to Allie and the rest of the family, I'm sure there are many more good days in the future! I pray for a long lifetime of them. Your family is in my constant prayers!

Jenny & Andrew,

Let me start off by saying that your daughter is beautiful. What courage and strength she has. I admire the strength that both of you have as parents. My son, Timothy was just diagnosed with a fatal genetic disorder and I am still trying to find the strength to endure what lies ahead. We are hoping for a miracle and along with the prayers for my son I will also be praying for your daughter Allie. May God bless all of you and give you strength.

My dear Jenny, you look just lovely, haircut or not! The smile is enough all by itself! And while some of us who know you haven't written lately, we certainly haven't stopped thinking of you and praying for you all for a single minute (it's almost "breath prayers," as in "Lord, please heal Allie...I'll be right there, honey...please grant Jenny & Andrew your peace...somebody let the dog out..." you know what I mean!)

Well Jen, I've got 2 quilts and a dress started for Miss Princess, so please know that I haven't forgotten my shower gift to you...it just may be a little while, since school just started and the reading is intense. I kept thinking that I would have time this summer, but between returning and exiting young adult children and worry over your daughter, I haven't managed to finish anything yet. Please forgive me for the delay, but I'm working on it.

We love you, my dears...give Sugar some sugar from Hannah's Mimi, OK?

Love,

I've only "known" you for a few short weeks, but you are already such an important part of my daily life. I stay up late just to catch the latests update on Allie (and Sam ;-) ). I have laughed and cried right along with everyone else who has come to know you. Please know that you are in our every thoughts and prayers, and you've always got someone to turn to. I thank God for bringing Allie (and all of you) into my life.
Keep on fighting baby girl!!

Jenny, Andrew and little Lady Allie (the toughest chick i've ever seen),
You don't know me and I doubt we'll ever meet on the street, but your story has opened my heart to the beauty of every day life. The joy that your child can bring, even when she is so sick. The joy you find in everyday with Allie I have started finding with my 4 daughters again. I think I lost a lot of it and felt sorry for myself...I learned so much from you. I learned to appreciate a good day and appreciate a bad day because it was one more day that I have with my children. I wake up every morning and thank God for keeping us all safe through another night. And I pray for Allie. I pray for you too (as her parents). What you are living through is every parents worst nightmare, but you have done it with a strength and grace that is uncommon. I see where Allie gets her strength...I read it in every post and I see it in your eyes in pictures. Thank you for sharing your stoy with the world, Thank you for sharing Allie. She is a beautiful baby with two strong, loving parents. I hope you spend many years in great health all together. May God bless you all

I have a 5 year old named Allie and her and I talk about and pray for your little girl every night. All of you are an inspiration to my family. I hope and pray that the news continues to be positive.

Hello! I found your website after when someone posted it on Ivillage in our playgroup. I have a five month old baby girl. Ever since I found your site about 2 weeks ago, I have been praying non-stop for Allie and your family. I am so impressed by your family, and by the love that you show to Allie and others. I see God in you and I feel that God truly has his hand on this situation. I believe in miracles and I am praying hard for a miracle in this situation for little Allie. She is beautiful!!

She is such a little Sagittarius...a fighter! :-) I share a birthday with her....although we're 23 years apart. She has such beautiful spirit......and that fire burns within her to fight this. I can't wait to hear shes getting to go home. Best wishes & many positive thoughts your way.

I read your story religiously every day. I have cried for you on more than one occasion. I have told everyone that I know about you and your lovely Allie. I think of you all and pray for you so often. It is an absolute travesty what she and you all are living thru, but her strength of spirit is just amazing! As a regular blood donor, I know how important it is for cases just like this. I even tried to do cord donation with my last pregnancy, but pre-term labor cut that one off. Keep up your strong spirits, all of you, and hundreds if not thousands are praying for Allie daily! My hugs and prayers, Andrea and family

Wait a minute!!!!! Who got the haircut? Allie or Jenny? I can't wait to see tomorrow. I love that we are FINALLY able to post messages to you. I have so much to discuss but the amount of wine I've consumed tonight will not permit such questions. I love Dr. G's response! Sammy definitely has GVHD...no question. I just hope steroids are not in his immediate future. You know he can't tolerate steroids. I do realize an anti-psychotic is available for Sam if steroids are a must....I just hope they're not. We're doing great on LTN donations and hopefully will hit our new (scary) goal of $25,000. I love you guys and that little Allie Cat looks simply delicious!

Have a great night!

Allie,

Sorry you have a temperature sweet baby. I really pray that it is not an infection. I am very glad to hear that you are only showing 10% blasts in your blood, woo-hoo!!!!! I am so proud of you because you are such a tough little girl. You can do anything!!! I am glad you were able to get in the floor and play today with your toys. I bet that made you happy :). You keep fighting and I will keep praying!!!!!!!! I just know that everything is going to work out and that you will be going home soon to play with Brandy. Your mommy's news about you was the best news that I heard all day and it makes me so happy. By the way, I love your princess gown. It's too cute. Sleep tight Allie. Have sweet dreams and wake up tomorrow morning ready to play. We love you sweetie. Jennifer and Katharine in Richmond, VA.

I pray for your family every day, and reading your post tonight I had a question for you. I know that the cord blood transplant has given Allie a huge chance, and Fieldon and others as well. Is cord blood automatically harvested when every child is born for donation purposes? I know that parents can choose to bank their children's cord blood for their own family's use, but what about for strangers? I want to make sure that the next time I have a child that I take the opportunity to help save someone else's baby. You may not know the answer, but if you do I bet a lot of people would like to know.

We're cheering for you in Arkansas!

Wow~ What terrific news! I know clearly we are not out of the woods, but leave it to Allie:) That kid is destined for greatness, much like her mom and dad! The lives you have touched is truly amazing. Equally amazing are Sharon and Francis, and Bill, I loved them all the minute I met them. They have pitched in to help and support not only you, but all of 12s. You are all fabulous people. The picture of you looks like the 'old' Jenny (not in age!!) What a terrific smile, it shows that today has been a good one. As always, we are prayin' our brains out, it appears someone is listening. Also, if you need anything.....you know what to do!
Love to you all,

Dear Andrew and Jenny, and Allie,
I have been so unbelievably moved by your story and courage in sharing it with us, out here in the infinite netherspace of the internet, but please know, that your words ( and most of all, your precious baby girl) have found a permanent place in my heart. I love Allie, now too. She is such a beautiful child, and I adored the picture of her in her Princess Nightgown. I have a precious 4 month old Daughter, Sierra Brooke, and your story makes me hold onto her a little tighter. I am praying for Allie, and have emailed her link to some of my friends and family, so that they will Pray too. I also linked your site to my website, Http://wendchymes.diaryland.com. I usually post poetry or little journal entries about Sierra, but since reading about Allie, I can't seem to write anything. I send you as much love as one stranger, can send another, but it is sincere,I promise you that, from one parent of a litte treasure, to another. Please Kiss the adorably fuzzy top of Allie's little head for me, and Sierra Sends an Eskimo Kiss.

Hi Jenny, Andrew, and adorable little Allie. My friend Ashley sent the link to your website to me about a week ago and I spent two solid hours reading through it...but I can't tell you how many times I check back at night waiting to read your words of Miss Allie. I'm one of the thousands that keeps pressing the refresh button! First of all let me say what a beautiful little baby girl you have. I love her fat roles...absolutely adorable. And secondly, you two are amazing parents. Allie has so much love in her life...from her amazing parents, grandparents, family, friends, doctors, nurses...to the thousands that have read her story on here, made possible by you. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings with everyone...it's opened up my heart to Allie. Yes, she has another person praying for her and wishing her happiness. God Bless you and your family. Tara Almond...Richfield, NC

I'm from the Oct 04 Board on BC & I am praying for Allie. We share the same name, except I spell Allie - Ali. :) Your precious daughter is a fighter & I know she will pull through. I check your website every night, I could NEVER imagine going through what your family is fighting for--Your precious Angels life. Well actually I tried to fight, I lost twins boys at 19 weeks & flew to Tampa to try & save them, I had an experimental surgery done and lost them during. But a mother will fight for there babies no matter what, at least I can say I tried. But I look at the positive side I would not have my precious daughter Kylee had I had my twins. So I tell people I have my son & my daughter & my 2 angels in heaven watching over us. Please don't take this the wrong way I just wanted to share with you that's what us mothers do, well parents do, we fight for our angels no matter what, we are given the parenting responsibility & well we need to protect them. I wish I was near so I could visit.

I am a December '03 mommy. I didn't think it was possible to adore my precious one anymore until I read your story. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and send positive thoughts to your precious Allie. She is a true inspiration, go Allie, Go! I pray for her comfort and peace and that she will run in the park and swing and play on the merry go round with Sam, Fieldon, and friends sometime soon. Know that moms and dads all over are praying for her health. Hug her tight for all of us and we will hug ours tighter in honor of Allie.

I am praying so hard for your little Allie. I am from the Sept '03 BBC board and follow your story every single day. My greatest prayer is that Allie is not too perfect for this world and that God is not ready to have this little angel back because she has so much more to accomplish here on Earth. I pray that she has some small imperfection that lets her stay with you for many years to come and that you will never know life without her. God bless you all. Stay strong and never waiver in your belief that she will be healed.

Oh Jenny... TEN PERCENT????? That is just absolutely FABULOUS!!!! I am just sooooo encouraged by this news!!!! I admire you greatly for never doubting your precious Allie. You've said many times what a miracle that she is, and you are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!! This message just doesn't do justice to the amount of happiness I feel right now learning that the Gleevec and GVHD are working in her favor! I will pray very hard for Allie to NOT have an infection.
I don't know if you saw my post today or not, but I mentioned on Julianna's website that just you mentioning Julianna and Big Sophie last Friday brought almost 5,000 hits to her site over the weekend!! Isn't that amazing? We generally have around 100-150 hits a day. Based on this, you must have thousands and thousands of hits a day. Surely not everyone that read Friday's post on your site visited mine! All of those thousands of people reading and loving Allie must be so overwhelming. I'd like to think that all of the thousands of prayers that she's receiving are what's causing her drop in blasts. God is good.
I'm still thinking of you and Allie every day!
Love, Staci Cook

Right now ther are just two, so more is better. I do not want to sound trite or cliche, but we are praying for all of you whenever we think about you. That means a lot! Give Allie a hug and kiss for me.

Jenny and Andrew, it's been since 1997 that I met you when Jenny was my R.A. out at Texas Tech. I had a really rough semester, but she was always there to make me smile even when I was incredibly homesick. You two and your beautiful daughter are in my prayers, as well as your friends you've made on the 12th floor. You are both such an inspiration to me on how to be a strong parent for my own daughter. I wish you, your family, friends and of course Allie the best of luck always. You will remain in my prayers.

You are such an amazing family and Allie is so blessed to have you both as I know you already share that you're the ones that feel so blessed. Because of you, my family has signed up to walk the LTN walk here in New York in honor of Allie and all of her friends and all of the others battling this disease. I hope to reach my personal goal for fundraising. Thanks for opening your hearts and opening my eyes to this wonderful event. Much Love and prayers, Jenn, Bill and Connor Lynch

Hi, Scotts! Just stopping in to say a quick hello. I hope you had a good day today with Miss Allie.
How awesome is your child?! So pleased to hear she's got a lot of fight left in her. Have a wonderful week!

Jenny and Andrew, I pray that the Lord will lay his healing hands on Allie. Because of you and Allie, I am a better mother, and a better person. I just know she will get better. I think of you often, and pray for you each time thoughts of you pop into my head, which is quite often! God Bless.

Dear Jenny, Andrew and Allie,
Yeah - you have a guestbook again. BTW - Andrew you do a great job on the site. I'm not sure if you saw the slideshow Heather put together for you ... here is a link www.thefilyaws.com/allie.wmv

I have been so relieved to read the past three posts (as I know you have been excited to write them). I pray for you every day. As I was updating our family website last night. I prayed that some day soon I would read in your update that ... Allie is getting into everything, she won't sleep in her crib, she hates to nap for fear of missing something, she's trying to eat us out of house and home... My dd would be happy to give tips on all of the above if needed : ) She's also willing to give Feildon lessons in drinking from a bottle.

We're praying for all of you and thinking about you often (that includes you too Feildon, Emmaday, Sam, Ethan and familys). {{HUGS}}

Love,
The Filyaws (Monica, Brian, and Brianna)

Hi, Jenny and Andrew:

I know you get thousands of messages a day, but I felt the need to write to you.

I found out about Allie through Jacqueline Floyd's column, as did all of my family. I have a five month old daughter that my husband and I adopted after a long struggle with infertility. You guys just really amaze me. I cannot even imagine if my little Riley was sick like your strong little angel, Allie (which by the way, my 10-year old niece's name is Ally, too!). I prayer for you all each and every day and monitor Allie's progress on your daily postings. If ever a miracle was to happen, it will be for you. You are doing exactly what Allie needs - staying strong, keeping the faith and relying on the prayers of all of your family and friends and even the strangers that have become close to you through the media and your internet postings.

Riley is the apple of our eyes - her daddy and I treasure each and every moment we have with her. Your courage gives me hope that parents do whatever they deem necessary to keep their kids happy and safe.

Keep up the good work. We are all praying for you and keeping you in our thoughts at all times.

Love,
Julie, Randy and baby Riley Zmolik

Jenny and Andrew,

I'm praying for all of you, and hoping that today is an even better day for Allie than yesterday. I don't know how you hold it all together for her, but you do. She's an amazing little girl. I'm having a hard time going to sleep at night if I haven't read your latest report on her and know she's doing just a tiny bit better each day. I'm taking my Sophie (14 months) and Johnny (4 1/2 years) to Light the Night in Morgantown next month. Just wanted to let you know that you and Allie have touched a lot of lives. The March 2000 Mommies group (formerly of IVillage, now on Network 54) are all praying for Allie, and a bunch of them are already sponsoring my Light the Night walk.

We see Allie's pictures and we see our own children, and we share your hopes and fears for her. At this point, I suspect that the only thing that can really touch you is improvement in Allie's condition; someday, though, I hope you and Allie will look back together on what an amazing outpouring of love, hope and prayer her illness inspired. The good that has come out of her illness isn't worth all this pain in her life, of course, but at least there is *something* positive coming out of this struggle. There's something so intensely precious about this time together you are sharing, under the worst of circumstances, because you are with your child so completely in her worst moment of need. The deep love you give her so completely each day must be a powerful comfort to you. You literally could not love her more perfectly than you are right now.

I hope the prayers for her complete healing are answered. You've rallied hundreds, maybe thousands, of people through your eloquence and love for your daughter.

God bless,

Andrew, Jenny and amazing little Allie! - It is unbelievable how you're story has affected me (and obviously, countless others!). I read Jenny's update every morning with the kids before we even have breakfast. My husband and I pray for your family every night and I honestly feel like I know you. Allie's improvements bring a smile to my face and when she has setbacks, I sob as if it were my own daughter. You are a beautiful, strong and amazing family - thank you for sharing your lives with us. You're making us all better people. Keep doing well, Allie!!

There isn't a day that I don't think about Allie. I love that beautiful little girl as if she were my own. She has brought many lives together and I can't speak for everyone, but she makes me appreciate the time I spend with my little one more and I find myself more patient and less stressed. I am not bothered by the little things anymore. In fact, I love all the those little things now! Allie means alot to us. She is very special and she is always in our prayers. I can't wait for the day when she will be able to go home! I think I may have to have an Allie party when that time comes! The whole world will celebrate. She has already, in her young age, had a tremendously profound impact on all our lives.

Bonjour Madame!!! Gosh, I long to be able to say that again to you. I heard you were at the Jasper French club lunch on Saturday and was severely bummed, cursing the cars I was washing instead of seeing you again. I miss you sooo much and I pray for you and little Allie every day. You deserve that little girl so much, Madame, I know there's no way that God can take her away from your loving arms. I wish you luck and pray for you in your struggle. You have touched many lives and hearts and I can say that this is our turn; our turn to give a little back to you.
Love,

You are constantly in my prayers. I am so glad that Allie is doing better. Last week was so hard for you all. We still long for a miracle healing, but everyday is a miracle with Allie. She is absolutely amazing-amazingly beautiful and amazingly strong and tenacious. Timothy misses you, Allie, especially rocking you in the bouncy seat. Timothy is taking steps now, and is such a cutie.
Thanks for continuing to share your joys, struggles and life with all of us.
Lots of love to your entire family.

Jenny- I know you have moments when you are upset with God. I have had a few of those moments in that past few years and I still don't understand. I heard a little blurb from a speaker the other day where she asked the audience how many had experienced a real miracle. Then she asked how many had enjoyed the hardship that they endured before the miracle. Of course no one enjoyed the trials. I think we have all ready seen so many miracles in Allie's life. One little girl has united thousands of strangers around the country. She has made so many moms and dads love their littles ones even more. What a miracle your little girl is!! I pray that God's next miracle for her is her recovery!!

I find this so ironic that I found your babys website. We live in vermont and my very close friend her name is Jennifer as well has a baby with AML a different type than Allie but they are living through this same trial. She is also a school teacher. Their baby was diagnosed in early February of this year he was then 8 months old he is now 14 months old. he underwent many rounds of chemo and spinal taps and spinal chemo and recently underwent a bone marrow transplant at boston Childrens hospital and is now home in vermont( like you and your family he is home but cannot go anywhere or see anyone in case of germs etc...)
Someone who knows you left a message in Jimmys guestbook with your website,, I do not know if Jennifer has emailed you but I want you to know that God can heal your baby. I know he can. My friend was not very religious when this all started but as we talked and prayed for jimmy she began to see things differently. I know how hard it is to watch your child be ill and there is nothng you can do but Jenn I am telling you from the bottom of my heart God does not want this for your daughter. he wants to heal her and send her home with you to care for forever. Believe in your heart of hearts that she is healed.. Touch her and tell God you are giving her to him he will take care of her. when we went to pray for jimmy one night in the hospital he looked at my mother as she laid her hand on him to pray and even though he was only 10 months old at the time I your daughter. he wants to heal her and send her home with you to care for forever. Believe in your heart of hearts that she is healed.. Touch her and tell God you are giving her to him he will take care of her. when we went to pray for jimmy one night in the hospital he looked at my mother as she laid her hand on him to pray and even though he was only 10 months old at the time I know he could see God through her eyes... Jesus is with you. I will pray for allie tonight and I am sure God is with you every day,.

Ooh, you smart cookies! What a great idea to use Caringbridge for the guestbook! Probably a lot easier for you to read the messages too.

I am so glad the Gleevec has bought you some improvement! I keep thinking that every time the doctors figure out a new treatment, it had to work on one person first! Maybe Allie is the one this time! We are psyched up here in KS to walk on September 23 and add a little more punch to that grand total.

Hoping for more awake and happy times with the Allie Cat.

hello my name is jordan I am 10 almost 11 in 10 days. I work and do chores around the house
for money and I want to donate 11 dollars to allie. I would have donated 20$ if I had known about this earlier sorry.
I want to donate money because I feel bad for people who are sick. I really hope she feels better.

Dear Scott Family,
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. Allie's story is amazing, touching, heart wrenching and beautiful all at the same time. How can an 8-month old baby teach someone a lesson in life? I don't know - but Allie has taught me to appreciate and be thankful for every moment I have with my children, my husband, my friends and family. So I want to thank you for that. I pray every day for her health and happiness. And for Jenny & Andrew's continued strength to endure such an emotional ride. You've definitely put things into perspective for me!! Much Love,
karrie

Allie. I think of you and pray for you everyday. I have a little girl, Taylor, who is 10 months old and I think you you often when I look at her. I lost Taylor's older sister to stillbirth, so I appreciate life. You are amazing Allie, you are so strong and the pictures of you, you are beautiful. Reading about the "stinking monkeys" made me smile and then cry. I pray for you everyday. And I know God sent you here for a reason and we are praying he keeps you here to keep teaching people about humble strength cause that is what you have.

Your daughter is the reason my husband has decided to donate platelets and have himself evaluated for bone marrow donation. Unfortunately, we live in California, but Allie will probably be responsible for saving a lot of other lives.
I know it is probably not what you want to hear all the time, but my daughter and I pray for her (and you) every night.

Your strength is amazing and I mean all of you. Allie you don't know me and I will never get to meet you I live too far away, but I read about you every day and I pray for all your family. I know about the fight for life, because my son Noah for very different reasons spent 19 months deciding whether to stay with us or go to sleep. Your story is so different but the love and compasion and the fear and the pain are so similar. Allie you are one lucky girl because you were born into such a special family and your family is so lucky to have you. Every day I read your news. I send you my love because that is what Allie inspires in us all, we all 'meet' Allie and just fall in love with her, what a fighter, what a beautiful and special little girl you are Allie.

Dear Allie and family: you don't know me but I feel as if I know you. I am a February mom from iVillage, and I have just spent hours reading your journal. I wish I could stop my tears, but it is impossible. Your daughter is so beautiful and her strength amazing. She obviously got her strength and courage from Jenny, Andrew, and the web of family support surrounding you. My heart aches for you and the pain you are all going through. Reading your beautiful journal just took my breath away and I can't seem to catch it again. It absolutely tears me up to think of that precious little girl of yours in pain, it seems so unfair. After reading your last entry, I picked up my own little girl and just cried. I whispered a prayer for Allie in her ear and held her tight. I told her there is a little baby who needs our love and prayers. I know you cherish every moment with your baby, and every day you have with her is a blessing. I thank you for sharing your journal with us. I have come to love Allie and your entire family, and I wish nothing but peace for all of you.

Hello,
I found your website about a week ago through a link from another site (Katia). I have prayed for your beautiful daughter so many times since then - she has just made a big impression on me and really touched my heart! Thank you for sharing her story. I have a nine month old daughter who looks quite a bit like Allie - maybe that is why I keep coming back here - (I also have a 10 year old son who is a leukemia survivor) I will continue to pray for your sweet little one, for complete healing from this horrible disease, a long and healthy life for her and for peace and comfort for all of you.
with Blessings,

I saw the pictures that you posted on Saturday and squealed when I could visibly notice a difference in the sweeling! I wait every night for your update so I can know how to pray the next day. My husband and I are continueing to try and think how we could possibly help. We are signed up for the walk in Plano and have set a goal. I pray you are blessed today!

So glad to see the guestbook back. And glad to hear that Allie is doing well - bless those stinking monkeys!
Just wanted you to know that we (my hubby, 2.5 year old and 8 month old daughters) participated in the Light the Night fundraiser last night in Anaheim - at Angels Stadium. We walked as the Allie's Angels team! What an inspirational event - we hope we could bring about some good. My 2.5 year old helped me create the banner ... she's quite the artist! (Hey, she's 2 - I'm just thrilled she can hold the pen the right way!) Anyway, we thought of you all weekend - and are glad to know you're doing well. Keep up the great work Allie! We love you!

Great news about little Fieldon. I read your posts every day and I'm going to be walking to Light the Night in October in Newport Beach in honor of Allie and all the children fighting blood cancers.

To the Scott family,

I found your storey this past friday and it has really touched me. I am a mother of a 2 year old boy and another one on the way. (due in april) Being a mother I feel for you. My mind has been with you all this weekend and I could not wait to get back to work so I could find out how Allie was doing. Sounds like she is doing really well. She is a real trooper and very very cute. I will keep you all in my prayers and please stay strong I know it is easier said than done, but I know that you all will. Allie is very lucky to have loving parents like you and Andrew. I know that you do not know me, but if you do need anyone to talk to please e-mail I am willing to listen. Take Care and give Allie lots of Hugs and Kisses.

Love,

I read the updates of Allie every morning. I have three boys (11 year-old twin boys and a 7-month old boy). My 7-month old is my first child born to me and I can't imagine what you are going through. Baby Allie is so precious. We pray for her every night before dinner. She is in God's hand and we know she will fight this. Also, you and Andrew are so strong! Please let us know if you ever need anything. I know we are strangers, but we love to help. We live in Allen!! I would love to sign up to bring you lunch or dinner. God Bless You!

You guys are truly an amazing family. I pray for your family every night. I check your website everyday, with the hope of good news. I have cried over the strength, and feelings behind the journal enteries.
I will continue to pray for your family!

Hi Jenny and Andrew, I work with Frances. Your family has been on my mind ALL weekend long. On Friday night, Taylor (my older daughter is 11) was at a friends house playing and Randy (husband), Bailey (2 years old daughter) and I were sitting in the hot tub. The hot tub is Bailey's swimming pool:) I was talking to Randy about you, Andrew and Allie and how unfair it is that you are having to go through this horrific disease with your daughter. I also was telling Randy the grief I felt for Frances as a mother and grandmother. I started to cry as we were talking and I looked over because Bailey started talking and all of a sudden a small white butterfly was flutterring all around Bailey's body. This butterfly was soo white and so serene looking. I know this sounds strange, but for some reason I felt a sense of peace about Allie. I prayed for Allie that night when I went to bed.

On Sunday morning we visited a new church - Calvary International. The church had a guest speaker Dale Gentry and he gave his testimony about his wife being diagnosed with cancer. Basically his testimony was that when they found out she had cancer, they decided to not let satan into their life by doubting her recovery. They prayed continuously and honestly had nothing but faith in God that he would intervene and cure her cancer. They had nothing but a positive mental attitude about her illness and recovery. Right before she was scheduled for surgery they did another biopsy and it was miraculously gone. When I left the service yesterday, I truly felt God had placed me at that service so I could share that testimony with you. Please don't lose your faith in God. I love the poem Footprints in the Sand - when you think God is not walking beside you because there is only one set of prints, it is because he is carrying you through those troubled times. I truly believe God is carrying your entire family right now and he WILL intervene!!

Lovely Allie and her mum and dad,
Allie is such a sweetie. I think about her often during the day and check last thing every evening to see how she has done that day (always amazingly!). Just really looking forward to reading the news that she has fought this off and is at home once again. If anyone can - Allie can!

Glad to hear that Allie had such a good Sunday. Sorry the Baby Einstein monkeys are more entertaining to her than you guys, but at least a smile's a smile.

Glad to hear that Allie's liver is looking good and glad to hear that she has had more awake moments. I tell you, this precious little girl is absolutely amazing. Sorry that the monkey was the one that got smiles yesterday. I hope that your day is filled with many smiles! Praying for a day filled with love and happiness. Take care and God Bless! Much Love- Kristel Hanlon

To all the Scotts,
You don't know me, but a friend emailed me the link to your site.

I guess I just wanted to tell you that there's a whole pile of Australians that are mow thinking of you and hoping and wishing and praying for you too.

My daughter din't quite know what was happening this week because of all the extra hugs she's been getting...until I told her a little about you all, and know she says to tell you that those mystery hugs and kisses that are floating around you are the ones she's sending out her window for you all.

Love, hugs and prayers,
Kate and nearly 8 year old Maia.

Good Morning Scott Family. I was introduced to your daughter's story about a week ago and ever since then I have not been able to get her and your family off my mind. I also forwarded your website to many of my friends and I even had one from church tell me yesterday that she has to get her Allie fix everyday before she goes to bed. We are hooked. Both she and I have little boys, mine, 3 1/2 and hers 5 1/2 and daughters too, mine 6 mths on the 28th and hers, 16 mths on the 29th. As you can see we love our children very much also and our love and deep emotion go out to your baby girl. We pray for her everyday as we do you and Andrew also to make it through such hard times. May God be with you and bless you everyday. Here's to Allie getting better and better every step of the way. Hugs and kisses all around!

Jenny, Andrew and baby Allie,
I read every morning and say a prayer for a better day than the one before. Allie, you're writing your own medical journal story. I pray every day that you continue to get stronger and that the blast count gets lower. And I pray every evening that you've had a good day and that you draw strength and more fight from all the prayers being said for you. Jenny & Andrew, your love and strength have been an inspiration for so many parents. Because of you all, we love our children more, have more patience and spend more time hugging & kissing them and telling them how special they are and how much we love them. Jenny, your writing is truly from the heart and no matter the outcome, though we all pray that it is a long and happy life for Allie, your gift is in the special way you share your story and that it has made many of us become better parents. With God's love....

Dear baby Allie, Jenny & Andrew,

You are truly a miracle baby! Go Allie Cat!!

Jenny & Andrew, we will continue to pray for all of you and we are thinking of you constantly. It has been so amazing to watch Allie not only survive but with smiles still stored up - even if they're only for the silly monkeys. How funny!

I also wanted to let you know I am joining the nat'l bone marrow registry!! I am doing this because Allie and you guys have inspired me so much. I know there aren't too many ways to help her directly (other then prayer), but I really felt called to do this.

Allie, keep fighting girl! You are amazing!

Love,

early morning prayers sustain all the day through. How i wish I could have been at Houston's yesterday to give you four a hug. Would I have known you in the crowd? Could I have spotted you four hunkered over the table? Maybe you would have been noticed because of the light you have shed for all of us on what life is really about. We send best love to you.

Jenny, Andrew and Allie,
I heard about your beautiful daughter through the Dec. '03 board on Ivillage. I read about Allie every day and think of her all the time. Every time she crosses my mind I say a prayer for her and your family. She sounds like such an amazing and strong child!

Dear Jenny, Andrew and of course, beautiful little Allie

Since finding out about Allie through Babycentre (UK), I have checked back every single day to see how she is getting on. I hope and pray and wish - with everything that I have, that Allie continues to show such amazing strength and continues to fight this illness. She can beat it! Of this, I am sure.

God bless you little Allie - and give your brave mummy & daddy a smile!
