We love the updates. Thank you for sharing both the answered prayers and the prayer requests. We also love seeing the picture of Sydney.

We continue to pray daily for healing, strength for Sydney and the family, and peace.

Love,
The Pettys, (Gina, Scott, Byers, Ben, Margie and Clayton)

We pray for you all daily. It amazes me the way our kids lift up Sydney... with full and complete confidence in God and what he can do, knowing that HE has great things in store for her.

I can't help but long for that innocent trust that unwaveringly rests in His power. When Sally was 6 months old, we sat where you are sitting for only a brief, but what seemed like a long, 10 days. She had a rare absess on her tonsil that was hard to diagnose and made her very sick. I remember the anxiety Jon & I felt (as well as exhastion!) -- trusting the doctors, making sure we had the right approach to her treatment, making sure the other kids were taken care of, the list goes on... Yet we knew that God, more times than any other commandment, tell us "do not fear" ... to not be anxious.

My prayer for you today is that your heart can be victorious in this wonderful admonishment... That the words that follow this command, almost every time it is given, can give you the strength and courage to rest in his directive -- "For the Lord, YOUR GOD, is with you wherever you go." Then to think about what that means... who is saying these words... who is actually at your side. David in Psalm 77, after a night of struggling, sleepless, troubled, finds great comfort in remembering who it is that made such a promise:

"Then I thought, 'To this I will appeal: the years of the right hand of the Most High.' I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. I will meditate on all your works and consider all your mighty deeds. " ... and David does. He remembers the deeds and the power that exceeds everything we know.

It is that power who is saying to you ... to your family ... to your sweet Sydney, "I am with you." May your day be filled with thoughts and rememberances of the amazing true works of the Lord ... from never leaving Adam & Eve even after they deserted him, to meticulously supplying provisions and and a boat to save his creation, to unexplainably parting an enormous body of water so his people could walk behind him on dry ground, to the countless victories promised and delivered, to all the prophesies given and fulfilled, to the ultimate sacrifice followed by a resurrected body that never died again ... It is that God who knows, loves and has seen every hair that has fallen off a beautiful little head, and that promises victory and peace that really do transcend any understanding.

We love you and will keep you in our daily prayers.

Hi,
I got the mails about Sydney over the MOPS Hompage. we had been in the US with our two kids Anne (8) and Daniel (6) and they both learned english therelast year. If you like, anne could write a letter to Sydney. Maybe getting mail from somebody several thousand miles away would be a nice surprise for her. We will pray for you. I really admire your faith.
God bless all of you angela and family

Thanks for the web page updates. We are praying specifically and daily. "The eternal God is a dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms;..." (Deut 33:27) We pray that you are at peace in the everlasting arms.

Good Morning!

I just read your uplifting story. You are an inspiration to us all. We shall put you on our prayer list and continue to remember, think and be blessed to know your story and your bravery. You are a beautiful child of God and you will remain in our prayers forever.

Any luck on finding a bone marrow donor? What is the progress on that?

God Bless You!

We are praying many times a day, with great hope. May our loving God restore, establish and strengthen Sydney. Thank you so very much for the updates. We are encouraged by them and delighted to hear the stories about Sydney! Much love, nancy and the heffners

Dear Lynette, James, Sydney and family,

We were so glad to read your latest letter about the new Big Wheel and the joy that they will be bringing to other children at the hospital. We hope this email finds Sydney feeling better with each day. You are all in our thoughts and prayers and we hope that her fever will subside and her strength will return. We love you and wish there was someway we could help. Please give sweet Sydney and her brothers all a big hug from her cousins and know that we are there in spirit! Love, Patty, James, Ash, Cameron and Victoria
