Happy belated birthday Miss Madison!
I found your CB page from the Krabbe's Kids message board and was surprised to see you live in Fairmont...my son graduated from Fairmont State in 2004. We visited Fairmont 6 or 7 times a year during football season as he was one of the Fighting Falcons! What a small world we live in!!!

I hope you had a great birthday and wish you much joy and happiness in the coming year. Look forward to checking on you and seeing your continued progress.

Andrew just finished his first round of swimming lessons. He isn't swimming like a fish yet but he is making great strides. Tonight he jumped off the side by himself, swam on his back with very little support and on his front with a less inflated floaty (shhh don't tell Andrew) Thanks for giving him the incentive to try again.

If I had to pick the word I use the most when visiting this web site it would be "Amazing" I always just sit here shaking my head and saying "amazing" Madison never fails to astonish me. I showed Andrew the video of her swimming. He sat on the side of the pool through the two weeks of his swimming lessons and we are trying to encourage him to try again. All I can say is WOW (see- I was trying not to use Amazing!) Love, Anne

Oh Madison, you look awesome in your new glasses! And we love the underwater pics, too. How did Mommy and Daddy get them so clear? Too cool. Glad you had so much fun at Kennywood. That brings back so many wonderful memories for me. I grew-up in Morgantown so we spent many summertime days visiting Kennywood. What fun!!!

Tell Mom that she can upload your pooltime fun adventures on here for us all to see on photobucket.com. It's free and they will even give you the code you need to insert the video into a journal entry or onto your homepage. It's pretty cool. Would love to see you swimming or some of your famous singing we've heard so much about! :-)

Hi Madison,
The Famous Sam Squirrel here. That’s right, the one nobody has ever heard of. Well, maybe one or two. Hey, I just popped by to say what fun it was to meet with you last week.
You know what? I shall sing a special Singasongalonga Sam for you because that’s what I do. I sing songs to special wickel friends. Here we go then, everybody join in with Sam now.

It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Wow!! That’s a great song & you really are my wickel hero. Maybe I shall pass by & sing for you again soon.

Y’all have a nice day y’hear.
Lotza luv’nstuff,

Sam. XX

Sam Squirrel.

I have just found this webpage and your beautiful daughter Madison. I am currently working on a large research project on Krabbe's disease for one of my classes as an Occupational therapy graduate student. I have been working on research for months, and I just found this page last night!!! It added a much neede personal dimension to my work. I have been pouring over these stories and just crying and feeling such empathy and compassion not only for the children but for all of you parents who are so strong in your ability to deal with this debilitating disease. Thank you for sharing your information with the world!

Aren't two year olds great? They are so much fun, even when they are being "ornery," that you can't help but smile at them, even if you can only do so on the outside.
Thanks for continuing to keep us updated on your little Princess!

First let me say that I love the pool photos! Grandma told me all about Madison's birthday party - it sounds like everyone had a great time.

Congratulations on all her many successes! You've definitely put me to shame in the teaching department - I don't even think Cali (my 5 year old) recognizes all her letters consistently yet!

We're expecting nothing but great reports from Duke! She's definitely an amazing little girl who has awesome parents with great faith! (You chose the perfect middle name for her!)
Safe travels and may God continue to bless you all!

What a blessing to see her walk around and play and interact with everyone at the reunion! I'm glad we got to spend some time talking and catching up a bit.

We have about 150-200 books left so if anyone is interested call me at (304)269-6820 ext 2126 and I would be happy to see that you receive a copy. Cost is $10.00 + $2.00 shipping.

Wendy,
We want to thank you again for sharing your story last night with Duke undergraduates interested in medicine. Our students are still buzzing about how much they learned from the program and particularly how much they appreciated you, Madison, your husband, and Madison's grandmother being with us. We are all inspired by the dedication of Dr. Kurtzberg and her team. Best wishes to you and your family. Kay

What a week! I hope they were successful at placing a PICC line - it sounds like her broviac has exceeded it's helpfulness. Sometimes the only way to completely clear up the infection is to just take it out. And a good PICC can still be used for labs, thank goodness. Hang in there! We're all praying for a smooth and speedy recovery!
I guess I may not get to see you all this weekend when we visit WV afterall :(

We are so happy to hear that they found the infection and it's nothing too serious! Thank you so much for the updates....I celebrate each milestone...I can "see" her commando crawling now!

I love reading about all the wonderful news about Madison!! My Andrew just came up and said "see" So I lifted him up on my lap and scrolled back to her picture. "Madison" I told him "Better?" he asked. Yes I told him. "No medicines?" he asked. "Just a few" I told him. Funny what our kids base 'better' on and that he knew enough to ask! Maybe he thinks all babies are born sick and have transplants. What a life we live. LOL. Love, Anne

So great to hear that Madison's test results were good. Also, glad to hear that she is doing well developmentally too!! Enjoy this time, because when she starts crawling and walking - you'll be even busier keeping up with her!! I was sorry to have to miss the Bissett Family Reunion this year and not get to see Madison in person. Mike's brother got married that day in Pittsburgh so we were out of town all weekend. We hope that you all are doing well - please let us know if there is anything we can do for you. You are all still in our thoughts and prayers.

Wendy, Chad, and Madison- I was already jealous to know that you guys would be in Durham and I wouldn't be there to see you, but now that I hear that you are inpatient and I can't be your nurse, I am extremely sad! I bet Madison is winning over a lot of nurses up there on 5200. I hope that she is showing off her new wave and can tell Duke "bye-bye" very soon. I am praying for you all and hope to get to see you in the near future! Give Madison a hug from me!

Dear Chad, Wendy and sweet baby Madison, I am writing with tears at your unexpected trip to Duke. But, I am so glad to hear she has come through well from her surgery. I can not believe she is talking already:-) John David has refused to talk to us yet. He does laugh all the time at his big sister though. One day he and Cousin Madison can play together like you and I did Chad growing up! Hopefully they won’t be nearly as mischievous as we were! We love you and send prayers to you all.

Hello Wendy, Chad and sweet little Madison Faith!
Grandma has done very well at keeping me updated but I wish I had thought to check caringbridge months ago! She gave me one of Madison's cookbooks this past weekend while we were visiting in WV. I am always asking more medical questions than she's prepared to answer so I was very excited to see Madison's website listed. I love taking care of the BMT patients on our unit but I also understand how challenging their care can be and how wonderful it is when they have loving, supportive, Christian families!
I love your journal; I'm caught up now! Madison is beautiful! I definitely see her resemblance to you, Wendy! I can't wait to see you all - when Madison is ready, she has 3 cousins, Maddie, Cali and Reagan who would love to play with her!

Wendy...Here's an update on "Madison's Cookbook". We have sold out of the first shipment of 570 cookbooks. Another order of 500 has been placed and we hope to have them in by mid March. The response has been wonderful!. What we are doing now is taking names and phone numbers and when the new shipment comes in the orders will be filled. We already have over 100 spoken for. You may contact Stephanie Frazier or myself, Joyce Phillips at (304) 269-0532 Monday thru Friday, 8:30-4:30 if you would like to make a purchase. The pictures of Madison are absoutley beautiful.

I had seen the name, and was not sure if it was the same person. But, I recognized the green uniform and I knew that it must be Madison's dad. Chad, it was nice meeting you.

Wendy,Chad and Madison, My two granddaughters (one is named Madison) and I watched the Extreme Makeover program and the girls (ages 9 and 12) asked numerous questions, which I could answer because I talk so much about baby Madison. It was a very interesting program. By now you have seen the cookbooks that Stephanie and I put together with recipes from family, friends and co-workers from various DHHR offices. We are very pleased with them and have sold 114 + in 1 1/2 days. Many of the recipes we have had the chance to sample at luncheons in the office. There are 400 recipes in the book and they sell for $10.00. ALL of the money goes for Madison's medical, travel expenses, etc. If anyone is interested in purchasing a cookbook, you may call the Lewis County DHHR office at 269-0532 ext 269 or 278 and make arrangements to buy one. Wendy, Grandma Cole and Grandma Tierney can also take care of your request. I check for new postings every day and have saved most of the pictures in my computer. I just love looking at them, especially the ones of Madison with her toes in her mouth. I pray that Madison continues to do well with her medications and treatments. May God Bless you all.

I love to hear about you getting ready for Christmas. After going through a transplant, it adds a whole new prespective. It's a good one. Keep up the good work. Write any time.

Congratulations on moving home-home!!!! How wonderful! I am glad that weight gain is being focused on with Madison, as well as Alyssa. Our Jeremy weighed about 9 pounds when we went home-home - and he was 5 months old!!!!! I kept asking when we were outpatient at Duke if I should be doing anything else (I was breastfeeding), and they said keep doing what I'm doing. Well, when we got home-home, our pediatrician's first reaction was "we gotta get some weight on this kid!"
I am so glad Madison is doing so well - what a cutie! Love that uni-brow - it's a sign of our kids being healed!

Madison,
Congratulations for getting to go home!!! I'll bet that your mommy and daddy are really excited to be home with their angel. You look so very happy in your pictures and you also look like your working hard on building up those muscles. Keep up the good work.
The only thing you need to do in that jumper of yours is jump, jump, jumpie, and enjoy every minute of it. I know both of my boys just loved theirs. They would jump in it umtil they fell asleep. I just hope that mom and dad will be able to keep up with you. Tell mommy and daddy hello for me and remind them to take care of themselves too. I hope that you will get to start enjoying all life has to offer. Thank you for sharing your beautiful picture with everyone and keep them coming. Also tell mommy and daddy that they are doing a wonderful job with you and that we will keep praying for all of you everyday!!

Dear Tierney and Cole Families,
What an awesome God!!! He has given your households a true miracle in Madison Faith and I am sure her big sister, Grace, is smiling, too. God has answered your prayers for her “quick” surgery on Monday and recovery. He will guide your safe journey home. And He will also keep a watchful eye on Alyssa!
Madison is just beautiful. We loved looking at the most recent pictures. Please continue to update them during the “cabin fever season” at home in West Virginia. It allows all of us who want to hug her tightly to do so via the pictures. By the way, could you update your family picture? We keep the newspaper article on the fridge and change the pictures often. Everybody thinks that she is my niece.
I am rejoicing in watching Madison's curiosity grow with these new “torture devices” a.k.a. Johnny Jump Up. Ashley has two “helpful” older brothers trying to teach her the fine art of becoming a trapeze artist.
Bundle up for the walks; cooler weather is on the way. Our heat has kicked on the past few nights. It is definitely fall football weather. Hopefully you can enjoy God's display of fall colors on the way home because the leaves seemed to have change earlier than normal this year. We will set a play date later after the flu season is over. Believe me, the cold season has begun early this fall. Many of the kids, including Seth, have already spent a few days at home sick. We definitely will continue to pray that the family stays healthy. We will have to celebrate Madison’s recovery in the New Year.
By the way, I can see your smiling faces from here in West Virginia. Congratulations again on your answered prayers. Call if you need anything.

Wendy and Chad, so excited for you to come home! Enjoy being back in your own place. I know we won't be able to see you for awhile- but it's great to think that you'll be just a couple minutes away instead of a couple states away! We'll be praying for no illness in your family!

Dear Wendy, Chad, & Madison,

We are so glad to hear that Madison's surgery went well. It is so great that you all will be getting to come home this weekend! I know there are many, many people who would love to welcome you all as you return - but we all do understand the importance of Madison being kept away from everyone as her little body builds its strength and immune system up. We hope that you'll still be able to update everyone on Madison's progress (on the web-site) once you are home. Please let us know if you need anything when you come home. We continue to keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.

Love,
Kim, Mike, Emilee, Makenna & Owen

Hello!
We are so excited to read all the good news!! We check the updates all the time. Moriah still loves to see Madison's pictures! The church has a board in the vestibule with Madison's pictures on it. Moriah will just take off running out of the sanctuary. When I yell at her to come back, she yells back, "I gonna see Madison!" It's adorable!!! I guarantee that Moriah will know Madison when she sees her in person. We're so excited that you're coming home this weekend. God is soooooo good!! I know it will be many months until we get to officially meet, but we are anxiously awaiting that day!! Praise the Lord that He brought her through yet another procedure! Call me if you need anything!
Love and Prayers,
Sheryl, Kevin, Rebekah, & Moriah Snodgrass

Hi Madison,
I am so glad you are doing so well. It's great to get home and I'm glad you'll be going home soon. Pretty soon you'll be getting into so much stuff and keeping your mommy and daddy hopping the way I do mine (hee hee). Make sure you figure out right away what makes your mommy run the fastest!!! It's a blast! I've even learned how to open the front door - that really makes them squeal! What a riot!
Gotta go -
Love,
Jeremy Thoms (fellow transplantee who's going to be 4 on 10/19/04) www.caringbridge.org/wi/jeremy
Keep smiling - it makes everyone wonder what you're up to!

You and your whole family have been real troopers, but I guess that's just a family trait ;)! I am so excited about all the wonderful test resluts and the fact that you are coming home. I know the isolation will be hard for everyone, but those of us who are so anxious to meet you just have to remember it it is only temporary. Keep fighting hard.
Love & Prayers Always,

He is so wonderful to each and everyone of us if we will only let him do his work.

Dear Chad and Wendy,
I know that you have heard about the yard sale this past week-end at Valley Chapel and I just took the money from this yard sale over to Gary Bennett office. As of this morning we have collected $2,044.91 not counting a contribution from Woodmen of the World of $500.00. The lady a Mr. Bennett's office said that they have been getting calls from people from my church about sending in contributions. It has amazed me through the planning of this yard sale and the actual yard sale of all the support that is out there. There are so many people that are praying for you and your family. God is truly blessing you both and Madison and I know in my heart everything is going to be ok. I am giving pictures to Marge on Wednesday to give to you for Madison's scrapbook. Please know that if there is anything I can do, please let me know. Again, your in my prayers.

Wendy, Chad, and Madison,

We love the new pictures of Madison - how adorable she is! And you are right - you can never get enough of those sweet smiles! My sister, Shelly, and I went to the yard sale at Valley Chapel Church today - and even with all the rain, there were lots and lots of people there buying things in support of Madison. Just the few people that I knew and talked to were so touched by her story and hoping for the best for her and all of you. We saw your Mom and got to talk to her for a few minutes - you have such a wonderful and supportive family. And please know that that family (and extended family) is much, much bigger than you think - there are lots and lots of family and friends thinking about and praying for Madison and her entire family every day.

Love,
Kim, Mike, Emilee, Makenna, & Owen Spangler

I pray that Madison continues to respond well to treatment and that you will all be home soon.

Hi Madison and family

I am letting you know that my prayers are with you along with all the others that I just read through. This is an amazing website. What a wonderful thing that God has allowed us to do with technolgy. I am also praying for another friend that has cancer and his sister told me that their minister asked them to begin thanking God for the miracle that he was about to perform. So I am thanking God for the miracle that he will perform on Madision.

Kay Wayts is my sister-in-law and she asked me to view the site and send a note.

How true - your faith, strength and continued testimony make you a real Hero for God. I pray for you everyday. My favorite prayer during testing times is Isaiah 40:31 -But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.

We have been praying for all of you. Tonight I showed Moriah the pictures of Madison. She got really excited and kept saying, "Baby Madison, Baby Madison". So I led her in prayer to God to make Baby Madison better. She wants to look at the pictures again now!! We'll continue to pray! We love you all and can't wait for you to come home and join your family at Bible Fellowship!!

Chad and Wendy,
My prayers are with you both, and little Madison, during this trying and difficult time. She is such a beautiful little girl. I'm glad to hear that she is making some improvements, but I'm sure sometimes it may seem that you are taking one step forward and two steps back (as far as her progress to being completely better). Know that God is with you on this journey and won't put anything in your path that he knows you cannot handle. Just keep the faith in him and his healing powers. Nothing is stronger than prayer. I will continue to keep you in my prayers (and in the prayers of my church congregation). Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. By the way, you have created a beautiful photo album of your precious little angel. Keep the pictures coming!

May God be with you all, Chad, Wendy, Madison, and all the medical staff taking care of Madison. May God be especially close by tomorrow during the transplant procedure. I am sorry you are in this position, but I can tell by the pictures and all the loving guestbook entries that Madison and her parents are very special people. My prayer for you tonight and tomorrow is that you can feel all the love and hugs being sent your way, and especially know that God is close by, and that he sees and cares for you all. Remember to fight the fear and treasure and enjoy each other right now. If I can ever do anything for any of you I would be glad to; I would even feel honored. Thank you for sharing your beautiful family with me. May God bless and keep you always.

Dear Chad and Wendy, I am a Regional Manager with BCSE and have worked with Marge for a number of years. She has kept us posted on what is going on with your beautiful Madison. I want you both to know that your entire family is in everyone's prayers and thoughts. We have shared in your tears and will continue to do so. We pray that all goes well for Madison in her treatments and surgery. Please know that we will be checking on her and on you both. If there is ever anything that I can do, please let me know. Wendy, my son Chip had your Father as a teacher while attending West Side and he sends his prayers also.

My prayers are with you today and always. It seems you are comforting all of us, so I hope some of these messages are a comfort to you in all of this. Take care. Love, Heidi

Dear Chad, Wendy, & Madison:

I have been quitely watching Madison's progress. Madison is beautiful. John and I have a 21-year old daughter who was born with a birth defect, which after lots of tests and surgery turned out to be spina bifida. She is doing fine, as a matter of fact, this fall she will be a senior at Shepherd College. She is majoring in social work and is truly one of lifes most wonderful blessings; I also have two sons! I admire your strength and pray that all will be well with your family. I enjoy the pictures of Madison. Give her a kiss for me and remember to hug each other often.

Love and Prayers,

Dear Chad and Wendy Tierney:

I am so sorry to hear about Madison’s illness, especially after the tragic death of Grace earlier this year, although I am encouraged by the thought that the transplant may help Madison to improve. Your family has gone through so much, but throughout all the grief and suffering I have always been grateful for your steadfast friendship and support. Please keep me up to date on her progress, and if there is ever anything that I can do to be of assistance to you in any way, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Our prayers will be with you and Madison during this difficult time.

With warmest regards,

If there are any two people out there that should be looked at as heroes, it should be my sister Wendy and her husband Chad. They are going through more, mentally and physically, than most people go through in a life-time. I look up to both of them, any situation I get in that I feel I can't pull through, I think of the faith that Chad and Wendy have, and it makes me realize, I can do anything. I know that God is with them, and that they will get through anything that is thrown in their path. I love you Wendy, Chad, and Madison!!

Hi,
I was so excited to see the pictures of little Madison Faith. She is one beautiful little girl. We will pray that Monday goes well and Tuesday she can start her chemo. I know how scary this is for you but she will do great and beat this horrible disease!!!She is very lucky to be surrounded by so much love and support. We too are looking forward to meeting you both really soon. Give her lots of hugs and kisses from us!! Madison is in our prayers always.
