    I feel like you often say "you must be sick of hearing me talk" and I want to let you know that you, your thoughts, and personality is why I'm here, and I'm sure it's why many of us are here! We are here because we enjoy *you* not just pretty camera shots (which are still loved and appreciated).
    Hope you heal up well and get lots of rest. Happy holidays Laura :)

    Sending you hugs and love! Struggling with your health while trying to maintain a house and a happy family is rough, but just know this little mom from Idaho can relate to a lot of what you’re going through. You’ve got this!

    Oh Laura. I'm sure you've already discussed an update in your newer episodes but I'm just catching up on all of them now and regardless, my heart goes out to you. Being in that isolated unknown period before you can even get the tests done is so stressful and the brain can really run with it. I will never get tired of you or your thoughts or your videos because you are a real person who isn't afraid to show it and it feels like sitting with a close friend

    Oh no! Hope you're better soon. I'm sick too - no voice, coughing, fever. Such a nuisance at this time of year. No one has time for this malarkey when there are festivities around the corner! Take care lovely lady, see you on the next one xx

    As someone who has a chronic illness and has to have alot of medication that can have nasty side effects. I fully understand and sympathise with you. It is scary and makes anyone anxious and the best thing to do is be kind to yourself and talk to professionals if u are worried ❤ you are alot stronger than you think ♥️

  • @tacistudio
    @tacistudio 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I’m so sorry you are not feeling well dear. I’m glad you got your voice back and that might be a good sign. I hope you get positive results and can enjoy Christmas with your family. I’m getting the pattern to knit lots of hot water bottles this next year. 🥰💖🎄

  • @susansmith7415
    @susansmith7415 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Ah dear, I feel so sorry you are having to go through this. I had a similar experience after being on antibiotics for a long eight week treatment that completely wiped out my white blood count, so I know how you feel. There are many things they can do to boost them up if you need it, so don't panic, there are lots of backups out there. Get a N95 mask and wear it if you need to go out though. They should be in any pharmacy. Hope you feel better soon, stay calm, and keep on knitting.

  • @jillmundy4121
    @jillmundy4121 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hope the blood test results come through quickly for you. As someone who has suffered from bouts of anaemia over several years, and one spell of low white blood cell count, I can sympathise with how you must be feeling and also the emotional side. Listen to your body and rest when you can. Sending virtual hugs!

    Hope you feel better soon, I think I got the same thing as you not too long ago. I lost my voice but didn’t have fever just a little sore throat the day before I lost my voice and it last a couple of days to get back to normal. The doctor told me to no speak at all and rest. Apparently it was viral.
    Your dad hot bottle water colors are beautiful together, hope you have time to make one for Mr Penrose too.
    Happy holidays

  • @janeb2958
    @janeb2958 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Do you do little 12th night gifts? Maybe Mr Penrose's hot water bottle cover would fit in then...
    In case you don't - in my family growing up (in the UK) we took decorations down on 12th night and that marked the end of Christmas. We had a little nativity scene which we put up on Christmas Eve, the baby appeared overnight and was there Christmas morning, and the kings weren't at the crib, they were somewhere else in the house and they moved each day of Christmas around the house. On the morning of the 12th day, they had arrived, and we all got a small gift "from the kings" which made taking down the decorations a bit less dismal (and usually we had a "all the leftover leftovers" kind of buffet tea, so any remains of the cheese and crackers and special biscuits and store cupboard stuff from Christmas and New Year).

    Lovely Laura I hope you are feeling better. I love your vlogs and following your health journey although I do hate seeing you sad or worried but realistically we all feel like this and in a way we aren’t alone. I love that you share your life with us but make sure you are putting yourself first and take care of number one ❤

    I’ve been very ill with the flu with weak voice for almost a week now and missed all your videos recently! Just got back here to hear that you are sick! I’m almost okay now but I was coughing til early morning last night 😨 you need to sleep more, sleep helps with everything!
    I’m going to see a doctor now during lunch time. Praying that your blood cell counts are fine!!! 🙏 Feel better ❤ greetings from

Tho I think u know (& just as a reminder), I'm pretty certain I'm not the only one who loves your channel b/c you're real, and not postured and posed. And the knitting, of course, but there's plenty of knitting but only one you. Feel better and take care of u. 💝

    Laura, Sending you a BIG virtual hug. I will say a prayer that all goes well tomorrow with your bloodwork. I really admire your honest depiction of life with all its ups & downs including your mental health struggles. You are doing an amazing job as a wife & mother while still designing beautiful knitting patterns. Please know that you’re one of my favorite TH-camr’s especially during Vlogmass. 💕

    Sending all the well wishes, I hope it's just a lingering cold and your blood work comes back normal. Get lots of rest and never worry, I don't tire of hearing you talk. It's like having a friend while I'm knitting, eating dinner (or supper), or just winding down for the day. The Vlogmas has been so enjoyable, I can'r believe it's almost over.😞

  • @adelahorakova5341

    Your vlogmases have given me so much comfort and joy while I've been doing my exams! Wishing you as much peace as possible as you wait for the blood test results, but don't worry at all about bringing us along even when you're not "doing" anything or chatting to us. They bring me so much light anyway ♡ (and I've been humming all the songs in your vlogmases every day hahah)

    The colors on your dad's hot water bottle are gorgeous. He is going to treasure it! I'm so sorry you are feeling ill during the Christmas season. Please try not to worry about the blood test. I have the opposite of Grave's disease - Hashimotos - and for me the sore throat and catching infections is very common. So is the anxiety, unfortunately. Sending big hugs.

  • @lizellinger4336

    Oh Laura - I know exactly how frightening the fear of the low white blood count is with your Graves medication - I went through the same thing right at the start of taking it after my diagnosis - it doesn’t help that Graves makes you anxious any way - well mine did. It will be ok I’m sure and you’ve done the right thing getting your bloods done. I ended up having my thyroid out and to be honest it was the best thing for me - it might not be for you but I hope your endocrinologist gives you lots of support xxx I hope you feel better soon xxx

I too find being unwell very stressful and scary. It sounds like you’re doing everything you need to do to look after yourself. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and that your bloodwork will come back normal.
