Ally Heintz

Hi Ally. I was so glad to see you yesterday in your new home. You will enjoy all that nice sunshine. I'll be thinking of you today and praying you will have a nice stable day through your procedure. You certainly stole a piece of my heart! Hugs and kisses to your family too.

Hi Ally,

I am glad that to hear that things are going well with you. I hope that your procedure goes well and you have no more troubles eating. It is amazing what these doctors can do for you and it is an inspiration that you continue to fight though all of this. I told your Aunt Jen that I really want to come and see you once you are allowed to have guests. Well till next time...keep fighting like you have been! Love Ya! God Bless

Dearest Ally,
It will be so hard to go to work and not take care of you anymore. You and your wonderful family have made my job such a pleasure and have been such a bright spot in our NICU. Your bright little smile made my evening many times! You have a loving, strong and supportive family to help you on this next phase. I know that you will do well. Just don't fight too much with those guardian angels, OK? The staff at DuPont will have no idea what has hit them once you charm them, too! Stay strong and keep fighting. I will keep praying for you and your whole family. Like I told Daddy, This isn't good-bye, it's just till I see you all again...
Hugs and kisses,
Jeanne

Dear Ally,

It was so hard to say goodbye to you today. You have, without a doubt, been the highlight of my recent days at Bryn Mawr. You are so forgiving (even after getting stuck for labwork, you'd still give me a smile). I have faith that you'll do well at duPont...both with the surgeries and the staff. You have Aviva in your corner...I know she'll continue to look out for your best interests.

Jill, Shane and family, you'll be in our prayers!

You must tell us what we can do...transport or ? If we even have to let Aunt Kelly out of work you have to let us know.....Ally I pray the answers are with a genius at DuPont and this nightmare for you and all your family is solved....

To my little "girlfriend",I will miss our daily talks, but I know this is going to make you better. You and your lovely family will always be in my thoughts, take care of them. Jill & Shane keep in touch. xoxoxoxo Theresa

Ally,although I am so sad to hear that you are leaving us and going to Dupont, I know that it is something that must happen.Don't be afraid of the tracheostomy-it will make it easier to get you off of the ventilator. It has been a joy being one of your respiratory therapists.I will miss your beautiful smile and your great spirit.You will,as always, be in my thoughts. xoxoxoxoxo

Ally is sure to become a pediatric nurse or surgeon or a related job!!! And she will have the answers! I mean she is already performing her own procedures! I hope the weekend is good for all...

Hello sweetness! I hope your week is going GREAT. I can't wait to see you (and Mommy and Daddy and Grandmom and Pops and Grandmom and Pop and of course, Ashley)on Tuesday...Until then, keep up the good work and keep strong. Hugs and kisses...Jeanne

DEAR LITTLE ALLY YOU KEEP ON FIGHTING AND I WILL KEEP ON PRAYING FOR YOU TO GET WELL. I HAVE BEEN TALKING TO GOD PRETTY MUCH LATELY AND I HAVE YOU TO THANK FOR THAT BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO GET BETTER AND FOR YOU TO BE HOME WITH MOM,DAD AND ASHLEY SO YOU ALL CAN GET STARTED ON BEING A REAL FAMILY! I AM CHEERING FOR YOU! GET WELL!!!

Keep up the good work Ally. You are in our thoughts and we are sure you can do this! Your Mommy is SO beautiful in the pictures! You are so lucky and blessed to have her for a mommy and you have a good Daddy too! (I almost forgot to say you have the bestest Aunt Kelly too! I'd be in deep trouble if I forgot to tell you that!)

Hi Ally! We love looking at the pictures of you and your family. We look forward to the day when we can meet and play with you. We keep you in our prayers so you get better soon!

Hi Jill,Shane,Ashley and Ally,we just wanted to let you know that we were thinking about you and are glad that things are getting better. You are in our prayers. Love Jim, Jo and Stacey

Dear Ally So glad to hear things are better for you. You need to rest, relax and GET BETTER. We want you to get to know all the people who have been keeping a vigil for you. There are tons so it will take you a long time to meet us all! We all love you an feel as though you are our child to cherish too. We wish we could help Mommy and Daddy in any small way to lighten their load. Maybe it helps just to know tons of people care so very much about you and your whole family.

Hi Ally,

I was just dropping in to view some more of you sweet pictures and to see how you have been doing. Sounds like you are still fighting. Keep that cute little smile shining for Mommy and Daddy. We love you and your still in our prayers.

Hello beautiful! We just got back from Lake George and the very first thing that I had to do was check how your week went! I see that you are still doing things your way...you truly are showing us what a strong-willed little girl you are. This will be a good thing in the future. Hope you got to eat this weekend. Give a smile to Mommy and Daddy for me! Maybe I will stop in to see you tomorrow! Hugs and kisses to you...
Love, Jeanne

Hello beautiful! I love your new pictures, especially the one of you sitting in the boppy. You certainly have been making sure that your guardian angels sit on both of your shoulders. I will say an extra prayer today to thank God for protecting you and keeping you strong. No more funny stuff though, OK? Glad to hear that the ultrasound went okay. Now on to the next step...
Hang tight and keeping flashing that gorgeous smile...
Love, Jeanne

Dear Ally,
I think about you often. My friends Sherry & Wally Crane told me about what you and your family are going through. I pray that soon you will be playing at home with your sister. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
God Bless,

Most of all.

Growing up is hard to do,

a little

You are strong
This is true,
REMEMBER:
All of us are praying
for sweet little
YOU!

Dear Ally,

We are glad to hear that this week was better than last. Keep trusting in the Lord, even when times look down, if you keep your faith strong the Lord will reward you.

You have such a pretty smile. We can't wait to see you. I hope it will be in the near future. You keep getting better. We love you all!!

DEAR ALLY,JILL,SHANE AND ASHLEY:
MY PRAYERS WILL CONTINUE FOR ALLY ESPECIALLY AND FOR ALL OF YOU BECAUSE IT IS AS HARD FOR YOU AS IT IS FOR HER. TO SEE HER SUFFER IS HEART WRENCHING AND WE ALL ARE THANKFUL FOR ANY BIT OF NEWS YOU CAN GIVE US AND WE ARE ALL GRATEFUL FOR THE UPDATES WHENEVER WE CAN RECEIVE THEM. YOUR FIRST CONCERN IS YOUR FAMILY. WE WILL ALL KEEP PRAYING FOR YOU ALL IF YOU FIND TIME FOR THE UPDATES OR NOT. ALL WE CAN DO IS HOPE AND PRAY FOR BETTER TOMORROWS FOR ESPECIALLY ALLY AND ALL OF YOU. TAKE CARE ALL OF YOU.

Ally - just wanted to let you know that we are all thinking of you and praying for you. I hope that you begin to heal from your latest surgery and that things start to improve. Make sure to tell Mommy and Daddy that if they need anything to just give us a call.

Hi Ally
How are you? Hope you're feeling a little better each day. Remember you need to keep fighting like a good little Rhoads!
Love

Dearest Ally,
You have taught us so much more than any "big" person probably ever could. Because of you we know how to love, care and give more, have more faith and hope, and be less selfish and have less self pity.
Your "little self" continues to have so much impact on so many around you - some you have met and many that you never have, but love you just the same. Anyone that has ever seen your pretty, uplifting smile or your eyes of strength knows what a courageous little girl you are.
God gave us a wonderful gift the day you were born. We pray he continues to walk with you and bless you as you make your journey to recovery.
Ally, do your best and let God do the rest!
We love you very much little one.

It was great seeing you today Ally! You looked good and I could tell you were feeling better. You are in our thoughts and prayers everyday. Keep fighting and stay strong! I'll be back to see you soon.

Ally, you're such a little trooper. We can't wait for you and Olivia to meet. She wants you and your mommy and Ashley to visit us so she can rub your head and hold you. We hope that your doctor's get everything straightened out so you can come home soon.

We pray for you and your family every night.

Love,

Ally you have been through more than most people will ever go through in their lifetime. You are truly an inspiration to those who are blessed enough to know about you. As I sit here and write this message to you it brings tears to my eyes because I know how much you have fought. There are so many things I want to write but I will just say them in my prayer for you! Love You and God Bless You!
