    This morning I am thankful for these perfect numbers❤️ Mallory’s shunt surgery went well and the shunt is doing its job! Her numbers have not been this good since being admitted a week ago. She is off blood pressure meds and everything is moving in the right direction. It will be up to the ICU team as to when to start weaning her off the vent. Pray specifically that she can swallow after the breathing tube is removed. Also, pray for Joey to get rest. He’s been with her the past 2 nights with no sleep. My dad has been with her nonstop throughout each day, and my mom has been handling everything else that needs to be attended to!

About this fundraiser

Just days ago, Mallory was eagerly anticipating a concert by her favorite Christian artist, Brandon Lake. Now, breathing had become a struggle, and her oxygen levels were dangerously low. The doctors placed her on a ventilator to help her heart and lungs rest while they identified the right treatment through a biopsy. The soft strains of Brandon Lake’s music fills her room, providing a comforting backdrop to her struggle.

The anticipation of the concert has been her light for months, and canceling the trip to Tupelo was a heavy blow. Yet we began to think of ways to support her recovery—what if we raised money not just for her medical expenses, but to ensure she could finally attend that concert when she healed? 

This fight is far from over, but the love surrounding us is palpable, a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is always light. Together, we we’ll make sure that Mallory’s dream doesn’t just linger in the shadows, but soars to new heights!
