Hello Lynette and James,
I've wanted to write a million times, but haven't. We spent months in the hospital with Zoe Grace being ill, wondering if she would live, but she was ill chromosomally, innately, and it just seemed so different than sweet, healthy Sydney, who is now ill. We never knew if she was going to live, and have had to call 911 and ask what to do because we thought she'd died (prolonged seizure- not breathing for a few minutes). We had other sadnesses and deaths involving newborn and stillborn children, but what always kept me going was knowing that the Lord knew how hard it would be if I had a healthy child who was suddenly ill, or a child I had "known" who was suddenly harmed. I was thinking about people like you all, those with healthy children who were suddenly ill, those with mental faculties who were suddenly mentally disabled, that is what I thought was more than I could bear. So, it grieves me more than I can write to write to you who I consider in the hardest of all trials. We pray for you, we cry for you, we beseach our Heavenly Father to look down upon you with His grace and send His Spirit, with His ever-knowing presence and mercy to help you through this time. I feel so overwhelmed even writing at all, not knowing you, but I am just so sorry that the Lord is allowing this trial, all the while knowing that He loves us more than anyone could. The verses that we held fast to, were of course early James (that we would endure...Greek is huponmena (sic?) meaning to endure as if the weight of a dwelling/house is upon you) and then Paul talking about the suffering on this earth and what he was personally was enduring in jail and beatings etc as... "this momentary light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond compare" those were the verses that we held fast to, not that we could begin to compare our burdens with what you are enduring now. Our every prayer is for Sydney to heal, be able to take the chemo, be strong to get the transplant and for you, in this grief of worry and pain for your daughter, and that every tear is carried by our Savior.
with love and our tears,
Stephanie Baker (and Blair)

Just wanted to let you know that everyone at Children's is praying for Sydney and your family. I check the website everyday to get updates and you all are constantly on my mind. Sydney is a strong fighter and I knew that from the day I met her. Good luck this week with the chemo and I hope the bone pain decreases.

Mr. and Mrs. Thweatt,

My name is Michael Conlon and I am a friend of Julie Vance's. She called me today to tell me about your daughter Sydney. The reason why she called is because I am involved with the NYC chapter of The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (Marathon coach for Team in Training here in NY). She told me that Sydney is currently at Sloan and is in need of a match (not sure of the exact details). I was hoping you could send me an email with the specific details so I can have the society send out a mass email to our contacts in the NY area in hopes of finding someone who could help Sydney.

You can reach me at this email

It is so difficult to endure and witness great human pain and suffering, but VICTORY IN JESUS will most certainly prevail. I feel much like I do with my own children when they suffer, if I could trade places with them and bear their pain to give them even a moment of relief I would. Sydney, you are a brave warrior in Christ. Keep fighting and Jesus will help you win! I am praying that He will surprise you with a wonderful moment where you forget that you are feeling badly.
May the peace of the risen Christ find a special place to rest with you at your bedside.
Much love and admiration,
Mary

Please excuse the previous attempt, something went wrong with my computer. I know is was certainly not something that I did. Thank you so much for the update. Check the Sydney MIRACLE Site daily sometimes four or five times, always hoping there is another miracle that just happened. Not quite time yet, but it is coming. Just wish GOD had our time table. All of us that know and love all of you, wish there was someway we could all hold you in our arms and tell you Sydney will be all right and so will you. But fortunately you are in GOD's embrass and he will not let you fall. So glad that you all are together and that Becky is there full time now. Just hold on a little more time, the miracle is happening as I write....she will be healed. Thanks again for the update, we love you, Judy

Precious Sydney the LORD brought Isaiah 43:1-3 for you:
Israel's Only Savior.
v 1: But now, this is what the LORD saysGÇö He who created you, O Jacob, He who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are Mine!
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
3 For I am the LORD, your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
{....and the remaining verses for your daddy....)
I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your stead.
4 Since you are precious and honored in My sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you, and people in exchange for your life.
5 Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west.
6 I will say to the north, 'Give them up!' and to the south, 'Do not hold them back.' Bring My sons from afar and My daughters from the ends of the earth-
7 everyone who is called by My name, whom I created for My glory, whom I formed and made."
8 Lead out those who have eyes but are blind, who have ears but are deaf.
9 All the nations gather together and the peoples assemble. Which of them foretold this and proclaimed to us the former things? Let them bring in their witnesses to prove they were right, so that others may hear and say, "It is true."
10 "You are My witnesses," declares the LORD, "and My servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe Me and understand that I AM He. Before Me no god was formed, nor will there be one after Me.
11 I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from Me there is no savior.
12 I have revealed and saved and proclaimedGÇö I, and not some foreign god among you. You are My witnesses," declares the LORD, "that I am God.
13 Yes, and from ancient days I AM He. No one can deliver out of My hand. When I act, who can reverse it?"

Lifting all of you up before the throne always!

Keep singing, Lynette! "Not by might, not by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord........These mountains WILL BE REMOVED and I'll build my temple in you! And what I've promised SHALL BE DONE!"
You are such an inspiration.
Love,
Kellye Russell

James and Lynette,

Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit.

I just finished praying for Sydney. God is Faithful. I want you to know that in September, my aunt was diagnosed with Leukemia and has been in the hospital undergoing treatment since early October. She is 73 years old and there have been many days that she too has been in "deadly waters". Her blood count has been as low as 200 and the doctor's had literally given up on her. As of yesterday, her blood count was in the normal range. I am telling you this because we received a call from the doctor, who had to confess that what he had seen was a miracle. He that the doctor's had nothing to do with her recovery. We knew that God had to bring her to the point of death so that neither man nor medicine could take away the glory that belongs to the Lord.

It is my prayer that God is at work in Sydney in the same way. After I had finished praying, in that way, I came to your page and saw Lynette's opening scripture. Which is the same scripture that I put on my desk at the beginning of the week. I know that God is not a God of coincidence, and that He is ministering to you through that verse. Stay faithful. I am continuing to pray.

Love,
Kim
