Ally Heintz

Dear Friends,
Thank you for your updates. Please know that we, as well as many others, are praying for you all. My prayer is that God would make all grace abound to you for healing, strength, wisdom, and hope.

Dear Ally, Jill, Shane, and Ashley,
I have not written in quite a while, but please know that our family thinks of you often. We are so moved by your determination and strength, and will continue to pray for you until Ally can come home in good health. Take care and we'll talk to you soon.

Even thought you were not able to join us for John's party you were ALL in our thoughts. John says he can not wait for the day that Ally get home and he can come and visit. Some days you just don't know where you get the strength to keep going...but you do. God is with you and helping you. Ally is one of the strongest little girls I have ever met. Alot of things have been happening here with us also that I hope I can share with you soon. We miss you all...please give Ally a hug from us.

Hi. I will look you up on Tuesday, we are making a trip down, then Friday we will be spending the night! Yuck! So MAYBE we will get to visit with you, if not, thats a good thing--then we will visit you at home some day. Dillon looks at your pictures every day and says, Ally! He knows who you are! I admire you guys and your families for being so strong. You are Very Lucky to have so much support! Keep the faith- you will get thru this, just think when we were pregnant and scared of the unknown- I know this is much harder to understand, but you made it thru that and you will make it thru this. I know its easier said than done but if anyone can make it thru this it's Ally.

Hi Ally. I hope you can come home on Tuseday. That would rock. I really hope you don't need another surgery. That would be terrible. Well if it got you out of the hospital for good. That would be so cool. And Mr and Mrs Heintz you are so patient and loving. Ally and Ashley are lucky. My prayers to you and Ally. BYE

I knew when I got to the last paragraph that Shane had written the update. He really can pull at your heart strings! I think about you guys every day. Ally has been through more struggles then any one I've known. It as all worth it when you see her smile.

Hello beautiful! Hang in there, OK? You are truely amazing and you have been given the gift of a wonderful, supportive family. I miss you all very much and hopefully will see you very, very soon! As always, you are in my constant thoughts and prayers!

Love, Aunt Jeanne

PS: Mandee is getting itchy to come play with Ashley again soon! Maybe they'll have to have a picnic at the park!

Hello Everyone- I miss you all- I can only hope and pray that everything starts to work & heal we all know that it's always Ally's way--that roller coaster You are all in my thoughts & prayers. keep in touch Love ya all

Dear Jill & Shane,

I just found your website while in the Ronald McDonald room at the hospital. I jsut wanted to thank you for sharing Allie's story with me and helping me to come to my own decisions regarding Ian's trach. I will pray for Allie's continued healing and also for your family. I know how difficult this situation can be. Good Luck.

Jill, Shane & Ashley,
We continue to keep all of you in our prayers. May God's healing power be at work in Ally that the bowle would begin to absorb, the liver function return to normal and the g-tube hole heal. Please know that we are here for you, anytime.

Ashley - I sure am glad to hear that you had a good time at the beach - and that Mommy and Daddy got to spend some time with you there!!
We continue to pray for Ally... I know her wound will heal and her feeds will start to turn around too. I just look at those pictures and think that Ally looks like she's not affected by any of this - she's always smiling!! I think she wants to let everyone know that she's okay and doing her best to get better! I hope this is a great week for EVERYONE!

Dear Jill, Shane, Ally and Ashley,

Hi! I keep praying for Ally and all of you. May your faith and family continue providing you the strength you need to get through this. You have two beautiful girls - just think what they will be able to accomplish in life after pulling throught these difficult times - and you as well. Hang in there!

-Diane

Dearest Ally
We all know you are a fighter and will beat all the odds, WE lOVE YOU and always pray for you several times a day!

Love your nurses at HPHC

Please know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers. We will pray extra hard for Ally's bowl to start doing what it is suppose to do. If it helps at all, John took a long time to absorb to when he first started getting feeds...it would go right through him. Hang in there and we are here if you need us.

Oh Little Girl!!

That trache is not a TOY!!! You are just too curious and smart for your own good! Someday that will pay off when you are a Doctor and are finding cures and discovering new surgical techniques!

I hope things are settling down now and that you are feeling better. As always, I'll keep praying for everyone... :)

Hi Ally,

Well I was at work this morning and heard the news. Things are never dull...I have to say little one you have the best nurses around. They are always so attentive and if it weren't for them and your wonderful family things would be pretty difficult. I always think of how lucky we are to have such caring people willing to help strangers in their time of need. Keep on fighting Ally! You are one tough Diva!

Please know that we are praying for Ally. Life is never dull with our special children. Even when you think you or Ally can't handle anything else, you find the strength and Ally the fight to continue. She is a bright little girl that has touched many people. Hugs to all of you.

Hi guys. Hope everything is going well for you today. I think of you often and pray hard for you every day. You look beautiful in your pictures Ally!

Hey Cutie, My thoughts are with you... and Mommy, Daddy and Ashley too! I hope you slept like a bear in hibernation last night - sounds like you could use the rest :) They sure don't cut you a break at that "Hotel DuPont"! Haven't they ever heard of R&R???

Stay strong and thanks for the update!
