Oh baby! The power of prayer and cells gone wild gives us this!

It just shows that the white blood cells are working! They're multiplying and fighting the sores in Maggie's mouth! Maggie hasn't really wanted to talk for the past couple of days because of the sores, and throat hurting, but as you can hear, she's reading something to do with minions!

From Mom, Lauren

Maggie is having such a good day today! She's been playful and happy! She has done her mouth care with no complaints and taken her one oral medicine with no tears! Hooray for having her ability to swallow back! Also, last night she had about 10 bites of a poptart..she hasn't had anything to eat or drink in well over a week. Soooo excited about her amazing improvements!!

We're hoping to bring you a audio interview with Maggie, and mom Lauren within a few days, and when we do, we'll post it online!

Maggie turns 5 on August 19th. She will be in the hospital still on her birthday. If you’d like to send a card or a gift, her address is

BMT Unit Floating 6
Attention: Maggie Rudnicki
750 Washington Street
Boston, MA 02111

I asked Maggie’s mom what she likes and this is Lauren’s reply

“She loves the Boston bruins, lip gloss and scary things (ghost stories, vampires, goosebumps books etc) those are a few favorites but honestly just well wishes are all she needs!”

Please keep praying. Prayers do work! They’ve made those little white cells grow, and those white blood cells are what’s making Maggie feel so good. The change in 5 days has been nothing short of miraculous!  Pray for a peaceful day and week ahead. Pray for a sense of calmness for Maggie, Lauren and the entire Rudnicki family. Pray that those white blood cells continue to grow, and grow quickly!  Pray for healing, pray for strength!
