Getting Ready

We are getting things ready for this upcoming week. We all went to Mass this morning and then we enjoyed lunch today with some of our kids. Ryan, Heather & kids and Andy & Britteny were all at our house. Ryan & Heather did all the cooking - fried chicken and all the yummy stuff to go with it. It was great!

Plans are for Ray to check into the hospital tomorrow and begin the next round of chemo. We are still not sure what time he is supposed to be there. He's feeling good today and ready for the challenge. Dr. assures him he'll do better this time because he's starting off healthier than he was at the start the last time. We trust God will carry him through any tough times. Ray's attitude has always been good during this trial. He always just says, "If this is what I have to do to get better, I'll do it."

Friday his blood values were still improving. The Dr. says that's a good sign that he's making his own blood now.

Oh-oh, Ray 's reading over my shoulder now. His own words, "It's very humbling to be on the receiving end of so many prayers. I pray that God's grace will be abundant in the lives of those who pray for me and all those who are sick. Where would I be without all your prayers?"

Love you all,
Kim (&Ray)
