Allison's Allies

Allison Repoll Spillman is one courageous woman.  She is a beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, cousin, aunt and dearest friend.  In the spring of 2016 she was diagnosed with breast cancer and overcame it with her strong faith and resolution.  Her determination and strength have influenced so many lives. Through all her struggles she has stayed steadfast in her faith and commitment to God.  On Monday November 13, 2017 Allison suffered a hemorrhagic stroke from an aneurysm in her brain and was transported via medical helicopter to a local trauma center. She underwent emergency surgery within hours of the incident. Neurosurgeons and interventionist have successfully been able to reduce the pressures in her brain and stop the bleeding. Now it’s fight time. She is currently battling against vasoconstriction of cerebral vessels and possible infection.  Mixed moments of progress are encouraging, but this fight will be long and hard. After medical stabilization, months of rehabilitation are projected. We are asking for continued prayers for the family and support for a woman who has dedicated her life to Christ and doing for others. Please help us relieve the family of a small amount of the financial burden this struggle will produce. We are asking for continued prayers for the family and support for a woman who has dedicated her life to Christ and doing for others.  Allison is more than just family or friend to so many of us, she is the glue that holds our nursing family together.
