Thinking of you as ever, and hoping the doctors will finally be able 

to analyse the fluid inside her and find how to fight more 

specifically whatever it is that's poisoning her. We are supportive 

the only way we know, thinking and thinking of her and all of you. 

Much love. Suzy and Sandro

Darling Sage We are all praying for you..Sending hugs and love to you . Please remember how much Kim loved you, so keep fighting.... Hugs & Love Brenda

Dear Sage, Sophie, Nathan and family,

I've just returned from a trip and discovered Sage's blog and situation. 

I just wanted to let you know that the San Francisco Waldorf Community is sending prayers and light to Sage and all of you. We are reading the blog several times a day to keep up with Sage's progress. Thank you for making the effort to keep everyone informed.

Sage and all of you are in our daily consciousness.

We are watching your updates closely and praying constantly that Sage pulls through this.  She is amazing....and you all are too.

Lots of love and prayers coming from your friends and neighbors in Wild Rose Shores.

You don't know me - but I have heard of Sage through a posting on Facebook from a mutual friend.

In December 2004 I was admitted into the ER at El Camino Hospital in Mountain View with serious abdominal pain. I ended up going into septic shock due to a perforated appendix and didn't leave the hospital again until 13 weeks later. During that period, I was on a ventilator, I was receiving continual dialysis, and I was in an induced coma for several weeks. The surgeons there at that hospital saved my life, and I have the scars to prove it :-) I am here to tell you that I made it out of there alive and am now thriving.

Sage can make it also. It is amazing what kind of abuse the human body can absorb and come back from.

It is a very, very difficult experience to be in that bed - essentially paralyzed and in another universe. When I was sedated, I knew who I was, but I had no context to understand what was going on around me. I did not know what was happening to me, nor why I had all these tubes and other things all over my body. But I knew who was there with me in that room. I could hear what was being said to me.

This is the most important thing: Sage knows that you are there and she appreciates what you are doing. From what I can see - there is an incredible community of loving, supporting people who are here for you, Sage. When you're ready to rejoin them, you will be stronger for having made it through this incredible challenge. You can do it.

All the best,

Joshua Solomon

Look it, I know from personal experience that the Dons are as tough and stubborn as they get! No surprise Sage you are battling so hard and well!

Go Sage!

Dear Sophie and Nate,

My friend Risa called me and filled me in after visiting you there at the hospital. Please know that many of us at SFWHS are thinking of Sage, of you too, and are sending strength and prayers.

With love,

Peace and Love,

hi sophie,

we are thinking of you and sage and nathan and sending a huge batch of

good healing energy. i have fond thoughts of sage and her feisty

sparkle. looking forward to hearing about her recovery.

warmly,

teddy

Thank you. I am remembering Sage as a feisty, bespectacled imp. Now 

she is a beautiful golden woman. In the performance piece I was in 

tonight I started the first 45 minutes on stage (in a granite quarry) 

by myself operating inside a giant porcupine- a metal puppet, a cage. 

I spent that time glacially exploring and living in the space breathing 

along gravitational strands, as best I could, with all I could, toward 

Sophie and Sage. Fog all around, shafts of sunlight occasionally 

breaking through, the air thick. Lots of disturbances, adversaries 

even, and nothing that peripheral space couldn't absorb and make sense 

of. Love to you both. We are with you. Scott Springer and family 

Two friends and I hiked up Mount Wantastiquet this morning. Under the clearest blue skies, fresh air, and with the distant peopled world spreading below us, we sprinkled sage off the mountain and prayed for Sage's recovery, and for continued strength for her remarkable family. My heart and prayers are with you all the time.

Lots of love to Sophie, Sage and the rest of the family!

I know how strong you are, Sophie, and Sage has that same strength.

I am confident she feels the love around her and is doing all

she can to fight through this.  

Sending lots of love and positive energy East!

Love from California,

Kathleen Fitzgerald (and all of Mary's family!)
