Alison,
Sending you lots of love and healing wishes. Hoping that the TPN and fluids will help you to feel better soon.
Love to Richard and family.
Kelli

Hugs to you from SF.

Alison, your yarn shop family is all here sending our thoughts and prayers. We all miss you and hope to see your smiling face again soon. Love from Nathania, Sandi, Kaye, our families and all your friends in fiber.

Hey Alison,
Greetings from beautiful Yorktown Heights, NY! Hope you are feeling better soon! You are in my prayers!

Robin

Bad Bad Body – start cooperating NOW!!! In my absolute sternest voice ….

Aww sweetie – here is more praying that you are feeling much better soon.

Sending you healing vibes. Take care, Alison.

Oh, shoot! I was just talking about you in the car tonight, saying how you were a little better each day. Guess that calls for a rousing chorus of “Liar, liar, pants on fire!”

When you need to be there, you need to be there. Let them take care of you, and try to turn to a different position every once and a while to maintain skin integrity. (This has been your nurse commercial for the evening.)

Hugs and love!

Hospitals can sometimes perform miracles. Hang in there!

Love and prayers,
Deb

Oh dear – please get better – I’m praying and crying – and will be thinking of you

*hug*

Oh dear! I don’t know what PPN is but hope it helps. I keep worrying that she will need to be transfused because of all the blood loss. I still wish I could donate some good T-cells.

I’m still praying and hoping. Alison needs to keep tapping into our prayers! Please give her my love and a hug. Same for you, Richard and Mom too. Be strong!

Love & Hugs,
Gretchen

Oh Alison,

Sending prayers and love your way. I’m praying for a quick turn-around and you feeling better and back to your funny, punny self.

XO

Hugs and positive thoughts to you, Alison.

All my love, worry and good thoughts. I hope you’ll be back home soon.

Sending you healing thoughts tonight.

Hugs and much love

can help if insurance not covering or uninsured

Feel better soon

You haven’t left my daily prayers for healing, Alison. Praying that the Lord will wrap His loving arms around you and comfort you. Lift your eyes to Him. He most certainly is our rock!
Blessings,
Lisa in NJ

Oh, Alison. I’m knittin’ and prayin’.

Yay for the miracle that is IV assistance. Wish you all the best I can think to send. Love you!

Hope that the IV helps you and that you are back home again soon. Thinking good, healing thoughts!

Alison, I’m thinking of you and hoping you’ll feel much better soon!

Eddie and I send healing vibes. I’ll wrap myself in the shawl you made me and think about how much I love you. xoxo, Chloe

Praying for you, Allison! I’ve never posted before to say thank you for all your lovely patterns and your inspiring spirit. Feel better soon!

Praying, praying praying.
Starting one of your scarves now so you will be constantly in my thoughts and prayers.

Nancy

I know you wanted this recovery to work from home but I’m awfully grateful that you have access to arguably the finest medical resources in the world. Hope there are some beautiful plants and artwork to look at while you’re there.

Representing the night shift . . . we’re out here praying for ya! Hope the IV will help keep your fluids up for a while. Hang in there!

Oh my, I know that the IV is necessary, and hope that you have your loved ones nearby. If she is at Stanford, I have a friend who is a chaplain there sometimes, let me know!

I was just talking about you to some knitting friends. You are in my thoughts often. I will pray that the hospital visit is short and very helpful.

All issues around getting the Humira have been resolved. The first 90 days are here, and for the moment the coverage issues are resolved. Now we just need find out why she is so sick, and give her body a chance to heal.

Hey Alison, I hardly knit these days as you know, but I have been knitting. Why? I think of each row I knit as an added prayer for you. If I knit one more row it brings you closer to knitting a row. Then I say my prayers for you. I am sending them all the way from here. I miss you. I will keep knitting for you. I hope you will be home with your family soon.

Alison, I am thinking about you and hope that you get well very soon.

I was afraid of that after no update posted until now. Hang in there, all.

Alison, I’m so sorry to hear that you continue to be so sick. I will continue to pray that God takes good care of you and returns you home soon to your loving family.

Thank you, Richard for keeping us posted and thank you to you, Richard, and Alison’s Mom for watching over her.

Hugs, Alison. I think of you often througout the day!

Together, Gretchen and LynnM have taken the words right out of my mouth. Holding you so very close in love and healing energy, thoughts, prayers.

Love

Hang in there- thinking of you as I knit.

Sending images of healing, health and strength flowing in with the IV fluids.

And a lovely little amaryllis (crimson like an evening grosbeak’s chest, with a cream centre, inside leaves curled just the tiniest bit at their base) is shouting “it’s going to be ok” from the windowsill.

Thinking of you, Alison. Surely it must be time to start feeling better soon!

I appreciate this update. Thank the Lord for hospitals and their crews! I’ve been keeping my Goodman up to date on how you’ve been. This morning during his devotional I brought him your book. Honestly, he just doesn’t get into knitting, but your story surely touched him, and I know he’s praying for you and your family. Thank God for prayer.

Amarylisses unite for Alison! Mine has the second set of 4 flowers now.

In my mind, I am sitting there at your bedside, holding your hand, and praying with you.
I know there are brilliant doctors and nurses at that hospital. Alison, you are not allowed to let that Crohn’s/Lupus get on top of you!

Love you lots.

POOP! This is just a temporary setback, I’m positive of that. Keep hanging in!

Still praying…

Rich, Alison and extended family…hang in there…we’re all sending healing vibes your way…

Thank you, again, for keeping us updated. I keep hoping I will see a new post in Reader and it will be the one that says she’s out of the woods with this attack. As always, you’re in my thoughts.

xoxo

Dear Alison, I am keeping you in my thoughts and my prayers. I am also praying for the wisdom of the doctors to get you past this crisis. Love.

Love you, darling, plus Richard & Alison’s mom (what is this most esteemed lady’s name?). Am I to hope that your immune system stays strong enough to resist all of those pernicious bugs pervading the hospital system, or relaxed enough to let you heal?

Also, for Richard & Crew — can Alison still ready all these messages while she is Inside? Or is there another way for us to more directly send our love and caring?

Prayers, as always, continue.

Shucks. (Which ironically, is rather easily typed as “sucks”…) Alison, you stay on my mind and in my prayers, and I look forward to the “out of the woods” post too!

Ah crap – I was hoping for better news.
Thinking of you each day, sweetie.

sending love and prayers always!! feel better Alison! Grace

Hello Alison,

” Step inside your Soul, it is the pursuit of the dream that will heal you!” Love and prayers, Rita

-Casey

Sending you warm and fuzzy happiness – feel better soon!

Hugs…Becky

Big hugs and healing thoughts are winging their way to you!

You are in my heart.
{{{{{{{Alison}}}}}}

I bet you’re plotting who you can knit for while in the hospital. Let them make you better first.

I hope you are well enough to go home again soon. X

Oh Alison, I’m so sorry…I hate setbacks – my heart goes out to you. The only good things about the hospital…well, the only good thing about the hospital is they have great tv reception and you can watch it from bed…
You get well soon, ok?! Thinking of you and praying for you and…hope your hospital has good food!
Abby

Rich – any way you could send me an email when you get a chance? – I have a thought on something I would like to do for Alison, and need a little information..

Mary

I check in everyday but don’t always comment. Just know that you and your family, especially Richard and your Mom are in my prayers. God Bless you all!

Oh dear! I know they will take good care of her, and if her caring spirit has anything to say about it, she will rally back soon. Alison, sending you lots of gentle hugs and very strong prayers!

Hope you can rest and heal there in the hospital. They can care for you 24/7.
Please get well very soon!

Bev

As long as Richard keeps filing his posts under “life” I can remain calm. Where there’s life, there’s hope.

Oh My Sweet…Please take good care of yourself! I have asked the Angels to surround you and help you with anything you need!
I am sending you love and tender hugs!
Thanks Richard!

Alison,
Sending you all the extra positive energy I can. Good luck and hang in there.

God bless you all. I hope Alison will be well and home soon.

Lots of soft hugs and prayers to you, Alison.

Hugs and good thoughts winging your way Alison, to hubby too for keeping us all up to date and taking such good care of you.

Hi Alison:

I worked on your Concert Scarf last night and said a prayer for your good health with each pattern repeat. I know God is listening and you will be well soon. Sometimes the supervised care in a hospital environment is what a patient needs. They are able to control all your fluids and keep a keen watch on what your body needs. Love and hugs to you Alison. Stay strong you will get well. Bonnie

I’m so sorry your body is angry at being fed! I hope Dr. Rubinstein can prevail upon your body to get rid of that anger very soon. I’m sending my very best wishes from Reno, and I’ll be sending them from wherever else I go, too.

Sending healing thoughts your way. Sort of a thank you, I guess, for your lovely shawl book. I look forward to a time when I can know you better.

<3 – pure, and unadulterated. Thank you for the updates, Richard.

Praying for you with love, dear Alison!

Alison – as you had family at the inauguration – this link allows you to zoom in on all the people there – maybe someone can help you find yours!

Prayers – to surround your sick body, your loving husband, your devoted mother, your compassionate father, your scattered children, your attending physicians and nursing staff. All are being lifted up in prayers from TN – for God to work one more miracle in your life. He has done it before, am believing Him to do it again. Rena

love and hugs and healing good wishes.

thinking of you and your goodness and light!

love and healing prayers from Oklahoma

We’ll do the knitting, we’ll do the rest of the world, we’ll do the healing thoughts. You just concentrate on getting better. Remember how wonderful the musicians were the last time you were in the hospital? You’ll heal this time too.
