Even with good news, life doesn’t suddenly become easy.
Mac’s days are still filled with appointments, side effects, and long stretches of waiting. Her family still lives by schedules, follow-ups, and careful watchfulness. The fear doesn’t disappear—it simply learns to share space with gratitude.
But faith keeps them standing.
Faith that carried them through the summer.
Faith that held them during the wait.
Faith that continues to guide them forward, one day at a time.
Still Fighting With a Fierce Little Heart
Mac’s strength is impossible to miss.
She is sporty and spunky. She loves Minnie Mouse and cheers proudly for the Green Bay Packers. She is curious, energetic, and full of personality—everything a five-year-old should be.
Her tumor may be stable, but her fight continues. And she meets it not with bitterness, but with determination and joy. Her courage shows up in small, powerful ways—in showing up for appointments, in facing tests she shouldn’t have to understand, in continuing to be herself even when her body is tired.
She reminds everyone around her that strength doesn’t always look serious. Sometimes, it looks like a child smiling through it all.
When Good Wishes Truly Matter
Mac’s shirt says it simply: Your good wishes give me strength.
And it’s true.
For families walking through childhood illness, knowing they are not alone matters deeply. A message of encouragement. A prayer whispered by someone they’ve never met. A moment of kindness shared across distance.
These things do not cure illness—but they strengthen hearts. They remind families that their child matters beyond hospital walls. That people are holding them in thought and prayer.
