Punken is right- that scar will be a thin, white line by the time she’s young lady. Your little Penelope is so strong and I’m so happy to hear about her prognosis. Thanks for the updates and for sharing your story.
im glad to hear some good news keeping you all in prayer love always cousin kyla
She is adorable and I am praying for all of you out in Houston.
Still praying like crazy
How do I donate something for the auction?
OMGoodness! That is a huge scar. poor baby.
Just found your blog from a fellow blogger and had to come over and tell you i will be following and praying for your sweet girl.
I have been following Layla Grace and stumbled across this blog. My heart is breaking for your family and your sweat baby girl! I am praying like crazy for you and trying to spread the word of Penny’s fight! I lost both my father and SIL to cancer and we NEED TO FIND A CURE!!!! I am across the country – is there any way to participate in the Auction remotely?
I come to this webite almost daily to see updates on Penny. I also stayed up last Friday night to see her on the news. I went to School with Cornia and she was always the sweetest and nicest person there. It doesnt surprise me at all that she’s such a great mom. I was so happy today when I came to the site and saw little Penny holding her own bottle drinking. THANKS GREAT!!!! The scar will fade with time, no worries on that. Also you 3 are the strongest people in the WORLD!!!!!!!! XOXOXOXO
Hey guys – cant imagine what your going through. Dont give up (how can you she is so beautiful…). We donated a little bit and my wife asked if you were getting help from Rady’s Childrens Hospital. Our thoughts are with you.
Penny will most likely even notice the scar by the age of “I notice me”. My oldest grandson has had several surgeries so far in his 4 years of life, the last being a week ago, and he is to have 2 more major ones done together on the 30th. Luckily God made kids very resilient and they do bounce back quickly. I think ‘we’ as the grandparents & parents hurt much more than they do.
continues prayers & healing hugs!
She is such a beautiful little girl. I’m praying every day for good news for your family and am happy she was able to have some formula on her own.

I just found your website and I am praying for Penny. She is so very precious and adorable and you are so very strong…you’re my new hero. I can’t even imagine what you are going through. Please know that we are praying for you in Santa Rosa, CA. I have placed your widget and just wrote a post on our blog…My ten year old has just cleaned out all of his piggy banks and we will (both) be making a donation.
