Jay is absolutely right and I know you can all get through this. In September, you had the worst news a Mum can have and look at you 10 months later - still here, still pushing Ray, still putting the game face on. You WILL get through this. I believe in the power of prayer and still have you all on my list. Love faith and light from Ireland ❤ 🇮🇪
I use my sons you tube channel. Love and Prayers are with you all. You are so strong even though you think your not. Just remember you are a mom and you are enough. Just take care of yourself because Ray needs you. Take breathers even if it’s to sit in the bath and cry or a corner of your yard. As a mother of a wonderful son you are doing a remarkable job. Prayers and love to you all!
My prayers are with you, Ray and your family. I know it is hard but rejoice everyday that your have with your mom and family. Life moves forward as hard as it comes. You are loved and cared for from all of us.
Kelly , I'm a Stage 3 Pancreatic Cancer survivor & I'm a firm believer in the power of prayer. I too was a good candidate for surgery. All of this is great news for Ray and you ladies. Keep your chin up and believe in the power of prayer.
Kelly I’m always looking forward to hearing Ray’s updates! You’re right it is so many going through this journey! You guys are in my prayers as a few others who are battling this dreadful disease! You are doing it by the Grace of God! Yes some days will be more challenging than others but one day at a time! As hard as it maybe, begin to start rejoicing for the outcome you’re praying for! God is strengthening you Kelly to be that for Ray continue to hope & believe! You are doing well by not promising him! Much prayers & love is being sent to you all!
I’m sorry people gave you a hard time over the “fixer upper”. You did an amazing job no matter what you call it. Ray is a very brave young man. It’s easy to see where he gets it. You have been through so much in the past few years yet you continue to be strong and keep your faith. You inspire me so much. You handle all of the things that come at you with grace. You are a beautiful woman inside and out. Chances are we will never meet in person , but I consider you a friend. I’m continuing to pray for you , Ray, your family, and his medical team. Your trust in the doctors will get you far. It’s so important to trust them. As a pharmacist, I’ve seen many people deal with cancer and everything it brings. Some days are harder than others. Always remember that there are lots of people thinking about you and praying for you. I truly believe God put you on UA-cam because he knew you’d need the support and prayers of your subscribers. Trust Him to handle this. He hears and answers our prayers. 💜
I don't think people gave her a bad time, I think people were confused, I know I was. I tried to figure out if they were all living there or selling Ray's house. I think that many people were asking, and that's why she clarified it. No one is ever mean on this site, which is nice.
Don’t worry about apologizing for something people are so rude sometimes and they just snap on it when you said flipping, I knew you were cleaning and rearranging
Kelly, my grandmother had a similar surgery and lived a long full life after. I'm also a Stage 3 Cervical cancer survivor. This is wonderful news for Ray. Big hugs to you all. ❤❤❤
I work in an oncology office and your posts actually help me relate to our patients and their families even better. You guys are always in my prayers and I’m sending BIG HUGS from Alabama!!!!
A a daughter of a cancer survivor, thank you for all you do. My mothers greatest relief was the kindness in the oncology office . They helped her through such a hard moment in her life.
Kelly, i'll bet most of us knew what you meant. Call it whatever you like. You did a great job on Ray's house. Wishing Ray continued progress and you much peace.
Prayers for RAY AND THE TEAM OF DOCTORS AND ALL OF THE CAREGIVERS!! You are an amazing mom and you have a huge group of subscribers supporting you! Your vulnerability to share with us is a way to “vent” during the most stressful of times. We love and appreciate you so much and we are her to help in any way you need .
Praying for Ray every day and also for you and your daughters. You are part of my family now. For prayers to be answered you have to believe and have faith that your prayers will be answered. Never lose FAITH. God loves you and knows what you are having to endure. Put all your burdens on Him knowing that he wants to carry them for you. Sending love, many prayers and deep respect…Charlotte ❤
It's a privilege to pray for Ray, you and the girls. Thank you for sharing your heart with us! I feel a part of your family. Please know that we are on this journey with you.
Listen here @kellybarlowcreations yes we come here for your cool crafts, but we've stayed because of YOU! We all love you and are connected to you and your family. And we tune in no matter what you post. That's what friends do. And if you need to come on and post another 900 things about Ray or how you're feeling, we want to hear. We care a lot about you. And we are praying for you and Ray. Our calendars are marked for 20 days from now. ❤
Hi Kelly! I'm a retired ICU nurse and want you to know you are doing an amazing job explaining what is going on with Ray. Thank you for sharing with us. I'm so hopeful for you all ❤❤❤
Kelly, I think I can speak for the majority of us on here - we aren't just here and praying for Ray, we are here because we love you and are here for YOU as well! I think it's important to keep your focus on the highs and hoping that they are high enough to keep you going thru the lows. You are all so strong! You are an inspiration, as is Ray!! If our prayers and good wishes are helping to hold you up, then you can concentrate on holding Ray up. What you are going thru is something that no one should have to deal with. Ray is so strong and he's going to win this battle. But YOU need to know that you can lean on us when you need to!! The message from your friend is very deep and very true. I'm going to send you a DM somewhere and pass on some info for you. Stay strong! With lots of love and prayers 💜💜💜
Well Said Friend, 💙❤️💜 we All sure 💕❤️💕 love n 🙏 for Kelly, Ray, n the girls 💖 n this channel is a place of positivity n Supportive bunch of subbies 😘💯❣️... Take Care Friend
As the mother of a 2 time cancer survivor I think the best way to explain how we get though this situation is just because we have no other choice. We have to be brave and put on that face to help our child. My prayers are with all of you daily 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I started watching your channel for the DIYs. Now I, and I imagine a tremendous amount of others, watch your channel to support you in whatever you are doing or going through! Continued love and prayers for you, Ray and your daughters.
I have truly prayed nonstop for Ray, You, family, and friends. Praying through the Dr's care and God's Devine healing to heal Ray from the top of his head to the bottom of his toes. Amen!! Much love and respect from Texas.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
My husband has esophageal cancer they removed most of his stomach, he was in the hospital for close to a month, manny setbacks, but it’s almost two years in remission and even though he had to change how he ate for the first 6 months he is now back to eating all his favorite foods! Wishing Ray the best of luck, it can be ok.
Kelly I just felt the urge to share my husband’s story. In the late 1970’s my husband (we weren’t married at the time) was told he had 3 different cancer cells that developed in his body and he had 3 weeks to live. He had a 6 month old son. He lived another 32 years after treatments and he felt his attitude had to be as positive as possible and that contributed to his cure. We were married the last 29 years is his life. Someone stated surprise that I still married him after knowing of his health history and the problems he might go through. I told them he was such a great man, I was grateful for the years I had with him. We raised his son and had a very happy life. It taught us to live in the moment because we didn’t know how many we had. He died almost 14 years ago and his son was 32 years old. We had a great life and if I had it to do over again I wouldn’t hesitate. You and your family stay positive and enjoy each day as best as you can with each other. It’s a heavy cross for y’all to carry, I know, but you can do this out of love for each other. I don’t know if I said but my husband was about 25 years old when diagnosed. You ALL are in my prayers daily. May you hang on to every ounce of strength and follow the advice of your wise friend to give 100% that you can THAT day. I’m sorry this is so long. It was on my heart to share our story.
You are living every Mother’s nightmare but Ray is so lucky to have you. It seem as if he has some great doctors. Prayers, love and hugs are coming your way.🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hi Kelly, Someone sent me this when I went through a health crisis and it described a lot of my feelings. I see you and all that your going through...being stronger than anyone should ever have to be, making your way one day at a time...bearing the full weight of something so difficult. I see you, and even in the middle of all of this, I see something inspiring...the strength of someone who's affected by circumstance, but not defined by it. I see you rising, again and again, and I just know that one day soon you'll rise up and stay there. You and your family are a wonderful example for us all. Sending prayers and hugs.
Kelly - I am here to tell you that Ray is so very fortunate to have the mom that he does. I can tell from all your videos during this cancer journey that you do ALL you can for him. God is with you all the time. I continue to pray for all of you. I'm so glad that you use youtube to express your feelings. I really believe that does have positive benefits. We are all here for you guys. One day at a time, Kelly.
My heart goes out to you and Ray. You are a strong dedicated mom. I don’t personally know you guys but I pray for you and Ray. I can’t wait for the day you come on and say all is well with Ray. He’s out of the woods and doing fine. That day will come. God bless you both.
Hang in there! My mom had her stomach removed 30 years ago, for a bleeding ulcer. She had to eat a bit differently, more often. With all the weight loss surgeries being done, there's a lot of experience out there. We encourage you, along this difficult journey. Every step is an adaptation, and you're doing great. Thanks for showing how a family copes with this, with love and support.
As a mother, my heart goes out to you, because I know exactly what you’re going through. My daughter was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer at the age of 30, that was in 2010. It is hard living day to day with the fear of what the next day will bring. But you get through it because of your love for your child. You stay strong and positive for them. The one thing that helped me get through it, was leaning on God. Our faith in God helped us get through each day and each challenge and each step back and each step forward. My daughters colon cancer was quite advanced when they found it. They gave her one and a half to two years, but with her being so young and such a fighter, she said I’m not going anywhere and gave us 12 years. Like I said, it was quite advanced when they found it, and it finally took its toll on her. I thank God for giving her that time with us. She proved to be a lot stronger than those around her. I will add you and your family, especially Ray to my prayer list. Stay strong, and stay positive. God bless.🙏🏻
Kelly, not only can you do this, you are doing it. I love what your friend, Jay, said. That goes for all of us. Sending light, energy, positive thoughts and vibes to Ray and your entire family. Bless your heart! ❤
Kelly, I had to have a gstric bypass to basically save my life. Yes, it takes a minute to get used to eating a new way... but I know he can do it, especially after all he's been through. I know it worries you, but that part of it all will be fine. I'll cntinue to pray for all of you, and praying that the doctor is extremely successful. We love you all so much. Hang in there kiddo... God is hearing us !!
Kelly, I wanted so badly to reach through my phone to hold and comfort you. I was my youngest son's caregiver as well as taking care of my 4 yr old grandson. We knew Andy was terminal and I gave as much as I could to provide whatever he needed or wanted to do. You are going through so much worse with the ups and downs. I'll be praying for all of you for the strength, patience, hope and all else you require. You are a wonderful mother and a great person. God bless you and your family on this terrifying journey. Take care of yourself too. We will all be praying for you in the hope that Ray makes a recovery. Again, my prayers.
Dear Kelly…..please do you! So many of us totally understood what you were doing to Ray’s house. You did what any mother would do for one of her children when she could. And thank you so much for the terrific news. With the Grace of God and all of us, Ray is going to come through all of this. We all love you and will be continuing to keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.
I am sure I am speaking for many of your subscriber "family " when I say we are here for not only your original platform, but also to uplift you in the difficult times and rejoice with you in the good times. I am so happy to hear of the healing that has allowed for the surgery! I also have a 28 yr old son and could not imagine the extent of how worrisome and difficult this is for you. Continued prayers ❤
As a mom who watched her only daughter slowly loose her life from a horrible disease at the age of 33, I totally understand this cancer nightmare journey your on with your son. The heartache, the fears, the stress and helplessness. I must have cried oceans. It changes your life forever. You, your family and your amazing son are in my thoughts and prayers. 🙏🙏 Kelly you will survive and I truly believe your son in time will be feeling good again. My heart goes out to your son. This journey is so physically and emotionally draining on them. One day at a time. ❤️❤️❤️❤️💪💪💪💪👍👍👍.
Kelly sometimes we have to take it ONE MINUTE AT A TIME!! When you’re down look back AT ALLL THE DAYS YOU MADE IT SO FAR--NOW THATS A LONG ROAD TOO! CONGRATULATIONS ❤️ MAY GOD SURROUND YOU AND RAY AND THE GIRLS WITH HIS PEACE THAT SURPASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING!! I lift up Dr Wu and Rays entire surgical team that god will guide them throughout this whole journey and I DECLARE COMPLETE SUCCESS AND HEALING OVER RAY IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS!🙌🏻🔥🙌🏻❤️
@1975austria you have my extreme sympathy on the loss of your daughter. There are so many posts on here where people have lost loved ones. They all have my utmost sympathy and prayers. No parent should ever have to bury their child. In a parent's eyes and mind, this human that has passed away is still their baby. It is a pain that will never truly go away. The strength that a parent has to find from deep within to survive such pain is unique and god-given. Please know that I pray that your pain is eased and that you can rest and regain some of the strength that you need in order to continue moving forward in life--now without your daughter.
Kelly, I cannot even begin to imagine what you, Ray and your girls are going through, my two daughters and I only had breast cancer to go through and I remember my youngest reaction to chemo. You all are in our thoughts and prayers. You are such a strong woman and you will get through this and helping Ray through it. When I see your videos I just can't imagine how you do it. Just know, as you can see from all these wonderful, encouraging comments, you have many prayers going up to God. Prayers for the surgeries and the surgeons. God bless you all. 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
I will continue to pray for Ray and all of you. I am so sorry for the ups and downs, and the uncertainty of all of it. I pray Ray's surgery will go well. And I pray for Ray's peace of mind, and for the Peace of mind of all who love him.
I am alway happy to see you and hear about Ray’s progress because you, Ray, and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. So whenever you give updates, I’m happy to get them. Yes I love your DIYs, but Ray is your son and therefore part of you. Keep strong Kelly God is not going to leave you nor forsake you. I promise. He is with you, and so are your subscribers.
So glad to hear that Ray will be having the surgery! And as a 2 time cancer survivor myself, I agree... GET THAT TUMOR OUT OF HIS BODY! Sending prayers for your entire family and the surgical teams. 🙏♥️🙏
Thank you so much for the update, Kelly. You have been so brave throughout this hellacious journey. Please know all of your viewers are behind you all supporting you and praying for you all. Prayers, hugs and love as Ray faces this next chapter. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Kelly, I pray that Ray continues to be strong and fight through these hard days. I also pray he has a successful surgery and can heal comfortably and quickly. I also pray for the strength and comfort for you and your daughters as you help Ray through this. Please let Ray know he is being held in prayer by so many. Thank you for sharing his story, it’s so very personal, but allows everyone to send positive vibes and prayers his way. Your family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Kelly: one day at a time sounds so trite, but that’s the way to make it through this journey. Prayers layered on prayers for you and the family. God bless you.💜🙏🏼
You are doing this as every momma does, one small step, one day, one victory at a time. When you get back out of the tunnel and into the light, as you say, and Ray has settled into his new reality post surgery, you will find balance and happy moments again. You have all come so far, you can make it through the next step! We believe in you! ❤
Peayers for Ray and all of the many children and adults fighting this horrible disease! I cry for you all and rejoice when you have any good news! God be with you!
Oh Bless your heart Miss Kelly. You and Ray are in my prayers. Remember to take care of yourself as well. I am a caretaker to my husband, we can only care for them if we are well. God Bless
Kelly, there is no word to describe the kind of thank you I want to say to you and Ray. Your articulate honest sharing is so heartfelt and educational to the world outside of your home. This is one of the most difficult hurdles in life and so many people don’t know what is ahead of them, what options are in front of them, what questions to ask and everyone is terrified to share their heartfelt feelings and emotions of this journey for fear of it making them look weak, not supportive enough and hopeless. You my fine lady and your son have opened a door that has acknowledged so many people’s emotions and made it okay to feel this way on the most difficult journey of life. Thank you both for what you are doing as you are truly supporting so many people that have or are going through similar challenges. You have acknowledged that their fears are real and you have given courage to not give up and to have hope each day. Many prayers to you, Ray and your family. You and your family are incredibly compassionate wonderful people. ❤️
Kelly- don’t worry about your “verbiage” - we know what you mean and if anyone calls you out on something you said- ignore them! Ray is what everyone here is concerned about and praying for!🙏❤️ You’re right- you take this a day at a time. That’s the only way right now. Praying 🙏🙏🙏
I'm having my 2nd mastectomy Monday. Chemo will come! I'm thankful I have a great surgeon. 3 operations & I haven't had any pain at all. I dread Chemo. I'm so glad you have some good news about Ray. I have panic attacks every day when I wake up, so I understand your anxiety. Anxiety & depression are awful. To have that to begin with & going through what you are now must be horrendous! I can see Ray's light at the end of the tunnel. You will all be in my prayers.
❤ Stay positive! You know it. You and Ray and the girls are taking one day, sometimes one step at a time. I'm praying for each of you. My sister battled stage 4 cancer in her late 30s and beat it. However, that journey changed us all. Our parents were 36 and 42 when they married and both had passed before her cancer was discovered. We as sisters rallied behind her, my brother did what he could from his duty station. He was there for her surgery. She gained 20+ years with us, but informed us in 2020 she was once again battling cancer. Again, we rallied, and my sister was such a gracious, thoughtful, brave person. She had been so very ill the year before (sepsis, a year in hospital and skilled nursing) but she never failed to think of us. Ray is fighting and I pray along with so many that we all rejoice in his healing.
Kelly our God is a mighty God, Ray has so many people praying for him. Although this has got to be the scariest situation for you and your family have faith in knowing you have an army of prayer warriors behind you. I will continue to lift Ray in prayer as well as you and your family. Continue to be blessed. God is always good ❤🙏 You are an amazing mother ❤️🙏
Kelly, my mom passed away just a little over 9 years ago of pancreatic cancer. Now we just found out my brother has cancer and I will be his caregiver. And believe me, it is just getting by, one day at a time. My prayers are always with Ray, you and the girls. You are a wonderful mom and a truly amazing woman. You are so much stronger than you realize ❤
So happy he’s able to get the surgery for tumor removal. Ray and your family have been through so much and my heart aches for you. What a blessing for him to have you and the girls to love and support him through this. I continue to pray for you Kelly. God is aware of you for sure and you will get through this. We love you Kelly and your family. ♥️🙏🏼🙏🏼♥️
This opportunity is so wonderful. Ray will adjust to his new life. He will find new and positive things to focus on and he will have a long wonderful life. The strength the two of you have shown is so inspiring. Sending you all the positive energy to heal and thrive.
Kelly you should not be sorry about terminologies, honestly I didn’t know there was a difference and you shared how Ray bought this house and with your vision you did an amazing job and gave us ideas on how we can do upgrades on our homes. You are an amazing crafter and mom. I continue to pray for you Ray and the girls. We are his hope. I understand how he is dealing with this, that’s ok you guys have us. There is happiness at the end of the tunnel. I just know it. You guys have been through so much. I’m praying for your happiness. Just take deep breath’s even though it may be tough at times I believe you.
Kelly., I had gastric bypass surgery 19 years ago. It was tough going at first. It got easier with each passing day. 19 years, later i am able to eat almost anything except large amounts of meat and my all time favorite, rice and gravy. I love vegetables and all soft texture foods. He will get through this. The power of prayer is all around Ray and your family. My prayers are with all of you daily. God bless!
Continued prayers for all of you. When I was 16 years old, my mom was told that she had less than 2 years to live. My grandmother told the doctor off. And told my mother that only God knows how long we have. My mother died when I was 41 in a car accident. Prayers help and gave me 23 extra years with my mom. Kelly, you are getting through this because you are a great mom. You are amazing. You all are dealing with it in your own way, but with respect for each other. Sending you hugs.
Praise God that he is able to have surgery! As a mom, I completely understand you wanting it out! So greatful for you all, continuing to keep you, Ray and the girls in my prayers!
Kelly, you are an amazing Mom and caregiver and if I am ever in a situation similar to yours, I hope I can be half the person you have shown all of us you are! Ray is such a lucky son to have you in his corner and when he is past the chemo and radiation and surgeries, you will have many Happy days ahead of you with Ray! GOD bless you and your family and we will continue to offer our prayers and well wishes for you all!
I’m so happy that the surgery will take place. God will guide the surgeon and the light will be bright and Ray will be healed. My prayers are with you all. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I feel your confusion and pain. You are doing a terrific job! Everybody has their own path to travel and you are doing such an excellent job assisting Ray on his. None of this is easy, but living life is tough sometimes. Please take care, be safe, and feel the love from all of us...we're here for you.❤
I appreciate your updates. The more we know, the more we know how to pray for Ray. I'm glad you feel the love from your followers & know that we care about you both. May God continue to give Ray strength and healing. You are an awesome mom! ❤
Kelly you're so much stronger than you realise and my prayers and thoughts are with you all for Ray's surgery to go well and be successful, and that you all find Happy again. You have been amazing all through Ray's journey and let's pray that an upturn is just around the corner, you and your children have earned this. Thinking of you all especially Ray ❤️ xx
Kelly - You are an amazing mom! I have three children - ages 40, 35, & 28. Jay has given you some very good advice! I will keep you, Ray and your entire family in my thoughts and prayers! ❤🙏🙏🙏
Dear God, please look after Ray in his time of need. Please guide the surgeon and the team through a successful operation and grant Ray a speedy recovery. Strengthen Kelly and the girls and give them comfort and restore their joy. Amen. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Oh Kelly, I wish I could go through this screen and give you a big hug! My heart goes out to Ray, you and the girls. I’m so glad to hear that Ray is going to be able to get the surgery to remove that tumor, it definitely has to go. In the meantime I will continue to keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. Sending love and light .
Kelly, thank you for the strength that you have shown today. Please know your family is not alone in this. We are here with you. Sending positive ( healing ) energy your way. Our prayers for your son and family are bold and constant. My prayer now is that we can get your son to a place of hope and visualizing and planning for a brighter tomorrow. May you all feel the love and support that surrounds you at this time. Love from S. California.
Continuing to lift you all up in prayer especially Ray. I can’t even imagine this storm y’all are going through. My husband has chronic myeloid leukemia and has had it for 19 years. He takes oral chemotherapy everyday. His life did drastically change and most days are really good and then some days aren’t. For Ray after the surgery will be time for healing and strength so he can find his new normal. One day at a time, sometimes one minute at a time. ❤️❤️
Kelly, I am one of those that wait anxiously to hear about your son. It gives me solace to think that you get some comfort sharing this difficult journey; most of us feel helpless other than out prayers. I am not a DIY person, but I am learning. I will continue to pray for Ray and for you.
Kelly I think your channel followers are glad that you keep us informed of how your son Ray is doing. We are all here for you. Btw your diy’s are so darn cute.
Kelly my heart is with you. I keep you, Ray, and the rest of your family in thoughts every day. You are a wonderful person for all you do. Keep light in sight. God bless you all.
I am praying for all of y'all! This is hard on all of y'all. Clean slate coming up for Ray. Having had a gastric bypass, he will be ok. Sugar will become an enemy and it will be awhile before he can eat regular food. Protein drinks will become his friend. Y'all will get this figured out!
Kelly, your family is an extension of us all. Truly I would love a weekly or daily update. At this point the diy's are a bonus. Keep the faith, know we are all still praying and keep you all In our hugging arms. We love you all.
Kelly. We are all here for you. Your family are all in our prayers. Also all of the doctors ,surgeon s and every one of the medical staff involved in caring for Ray. May there hands be guided with skill . Xx
Thank you for giving us an update on Ray. My 25 year old son was just found to have a 15 cm mass on his spleen. He had a CT scan and they don't think it's cancer, but he still needs surgery to have the mass and his spleen removed. I've never been more terrified waiting for the CT results. I'll continue to send prayers and good vibes your way. Stay strong my dear. We are all here for you and Ray.
Bless you, the girls and especially Ray. I’m not sure there’s anything I can say except that my thoughts, prayers, and love are with you. The pain you’re coping with is unimaginable. Ray is a fighter and will win this! 🙏🏻❤️xoxo
If you get to read this comment I want you to know that I believe that things will turn out fine for Ray. I'm just a Mother who went through losing 2 sons who were diagnosed with HIV at the tender ages of 7 and 12. There wasn't any hope for them. It was at the time when there was only one drug on the market. Just to make this short, Ray has hope, he can have this surgery. You are doing great Kelly. I know the ups and downs, the anxiety attacks I suffered for years. They lived until 24 and 23 with this disease. I want you to know that my prayers for you and Ray are heartfelt and constant. Thank you for sharing this because it has helped me in ways I can't express. May God be with you and your whole family but especially with Ray and his team of doctors.
We will pray for Ray and his success in this! Love to you all. I’m five years into the cancer game, and I can say that eventually Ray can be fine and I certainly will pray that he is fine after all of his treatments. Take care of Ray and take care of you.
Kelly, continued prayers for healing for Ray, for wisdom for the doctors who are helping him, and for you and your family as you give care, strength, and support to your son. I'm so glad you reach out and let us know what is happening and how you are coping. It is not easy to go through these trials, but you are not alone, we, your fans, are here and are praying. God bless.
Oh sweet Kelly! You have done a remarkable job explaining this so we all can understand! Continued prayers for Ray! He and you are in constant thoughts and continued prayer. You CAN and ARE fighting this HUGE fight, my friend! I LOST my son, so things do get worse! Youre strong, whether you know it or not! Youve got this! ❤️🥰
You and Ray are in my nightly prayers. You are incredibly strong and Ray is courageous. It's so exhausting and depressing to feel so badly, buy he is battling like a warrior.
I don’t have any magic words for you….but I am a mom & I can share that you are indeed doing a fantastic job at it. You & your family have survived %100 of every worse day that has come along, with greatest of patience & care. Keep standing firm in your faith, keep a green bough in your heat & God will send a singing bird. Which probably sounds odd- but my grandmother taught me that years ago & it has never let me down either!
Kelly I’m so happy to hear that Ray will be receiving his surgery. He is a very brave person and you are a very strong caring person. You will all get through this. I will continue praying for you, Ray, Kayla and Allie. I only ask your prayers in return for my uncle who has inoperable bone cancer.
Jay is absolutely right and I know you can all get through this. In September, you had the worst news a Mum can have and look at you 10 months later - still here, still pushing Ray, still putting the game face on. You WILL get through this. I believe in the power of prayer and still have you all on my list. Love faith and light from Ireland ❤ 🇮🇪
Amazing good news....continued prayers
AMEN....miracles
@sandracraig3070 Amen!!!!
🙏🙏💖💖💖💖
I use my sons you tube channel. Love and Prayers are with you all. You are so strong even though you think your not. Just remember you are a mom and you are enough. Just take care of yourself because Ray needs you. Take breathers even if it’s to sit in the bath and cry or a corner of your yard. As a mother of a wonderful son you are doing a remarkable job. Prayers and love to you all!
My prayers are with you, Ray and your family. I know it is hard but rejoice everyday that your have with your mom and family. Life moves forward as hard as it comes. You are loved and cared for from all of us.
Kelly , I'm a Stage 3 Pancreatic Cancer survivor & I'm a firm believer in the power of prayer. I too was a good candidate for surgery. All of this is great news for Ray and you ladies. Keep your chin up and believe in the power of prayer.
Prayers for you God bless you
Kelly I’m always looking forward to hearing Ray’s updates!
You’re right it is so many going through this journey! You guys are in my prayers as a few others who are battling this dreadful disease!
You are doing it by the Grace of God! Yes some days will be more challenging than others but one day at a time!
As hard as it maybe, begin to start rejoicing for the outcome you’re praying for!
God is strengthening you Kelly to be that for Ray continue to hope & believe!
You are doing well by not promising him!
Much prayers & love is being sent to you all!
🙏🙏

Keep your eyes on that light at the end of that tunnel, you are going to get there. Sending you all positive vibes and hope.
I’m sorry people gave you a hard time over the “fixer upper”. You did an amazing job no matter what you call it.
Ray is a very brave young man. It’s easy to see where he gets it. You have been through so much in the past few years yet you continue to be strong and keep your faith. You inspire me so much. You handle all of the things that come at you with grace. You are a beautiful woman inside and out.
Chances are we will never meet in person , but I consider you a friend. I’m continuing to pray for you , Ray, your family, and his medical team. Your trust in the doctors will get you far. It’s so important to trust them.
As a pharmacist, I’ve seen many people deal with cancer and everything it brings. Some days are harder than others. Always remember that there are lots of people thinking about you and praying for you.
I truly believe God put you on UA-cam because he knew you’d need the support and prayers of your subscribers. Trust Him to handle this. He hears and answers our prayers. 💜
I don't think people gave her a bad time, I think people were confused, I know I was. I tried to figure out if they were all living there or selling Ray's house. I think that many people were asking, and that's why she clarified it. No one is ever mean on this site, which is nice.
Don’t worry about apologizing for something people are so rude sometimes and they just snap on it when you said flipping, I knew you were cleaning and rearranging
I did have a moment when I read that but figured it out 😂
Kelly, my grandmother had a similar surgery and lived a long full life after. I'm also a Stage 3 Cervical cancer survivor. This is wonderful news for Ray. Big hugs to you all. ❤❤❤
I work in an oncology office and your posts actually help me relate to our patients and their families even better. You guys are always in my prayers and I’m sending BIG HUGS from Alabama!!!!
We live in Alabama and my husband travels to an oncologist in Carrollton GA, the doctors and nurses are so good to him and we are so grateful.
I’m praying for you and your son. The news sounds pretty good. ❤️❤️
A a daughter of a cancer survivor, thank you for all you do. My mothers greatest relief was the kindness in the oncology office . They helped her through such a hard moment in her life.
Kelly, i'll bet most of us knew what you meant. Call it whatever you like. You did a great job on Ray's house. Wishing Ray continued progress and you much peace.
Yes we did. I surely did❤
Absolutely..
Prayers for RAY AND THE TEAM OF DOCTORS AND ALL OF THE CAREGIVERS!! You are an amazing mom and you have a huge group of subscribers supporting you! Your vulnerability to share with us is a way to “vent” during the most stressful of times. We love and appreciate you so much and we are her to help in any way you need .
Praying for Ray every day and also for you and your daughters. You are part of my family now. For prayers to be answered you have to believe and have faith that your prayers will be answered. Never lose FAITH. God loves you and knows what you are having to endure. Put all your burdens on Him knowing that he wants to carry them for you. Sending love, many prayers and deep respect…Charlotte ❤
It's a privilege to pray for Ray, you and the girls. Thank you for sharing your heart with us! I feel a part of your family. Please know that we are on this journey with you.
Listen here @kellybarlowcreations yes we come here for your cool crafts, but we've stayed because of YOU! We all love you and are connected to you and your family. And we tune in no matter what you post. That's what friends do. And if you need to come on and post another 900 things about Ray or how you're feeling, we want to hear. We care a lot about you. And we are praying for you and Ray. Our calendars are marked for 20 days from now. ❤
💯%💛💗
Hi Kelly! I'm a retired ICU nurse and want you to know you are doing an amazing job explaining what is going on with Ray. Thank you for sharing with us. I'm so hopeful for you all ❤❤❤
You don't know how strong you are till being strong is the only option.
Much love to you all 💜
Kelly, I think I can speak for the majority of us on here - we aren't just here and praying for Ray, we are here because we love you and are here for YOU as well!
I think it's important to keep your focus on the highs and hoping that they are high enough to keep you going thru the lows. You are all so strong! You are an inspiration, as is Ray!!
If our prayers and good wishes are helping to hold you up, then you can concentrate on holding Ray up.
What you are going thru is something that no one should have to deal with. Ray is so strong and he's going to win this battle. But YOU need to know that you can lean on us when you need to!! The message from your friend is very deep and very true.
I'm going to send you a DM somewhere and pass on some info for you.
Stay strong!
With lots of love and prayers 💜💜💜
Well Said Friend, 💙❤️💜 we All sure 💕❤️💕 love n 🙏 for Kelly, Ray, n the girls 💖 n this channel is a place of positivity n Supportive bunch of subbies 😘💯❣️... Take Care Friend
@@papawnanasaveslovesnlife9530 thank you!
May you have a wonderful day!
As the mother of a 2 time cancer survivor I think the best way to explain how we get though this situation is just because we have no other choice. We have to be brave and put on that face to help our child. My prayers are with all of you daily 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I started watching your channel for the DIYs. Now I, and I imagine a tremendous amount of others, watch your channel to support you in whatever you are doing or going through! Continued love and prayers for you, Ray and your daughters.
I have truly prayed nonstop for Ray, You, family, and friends. Praying through the Dr's care and God's Devine healing to heal Ray from the top of his head to the bottom of his toes. Amen!! Much love and respect from Texas.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
My husband has esophageal cancer they removed most of his stomach, he was in the hospital for close to a month, manny setbacks, but it’s almost two years in remission and even though he had to change how he ate for the first 6 months he is now back to eating all his favorite foods! Wishing Ray the best of luck, it can be ok.
Kelly I just felt the urge to share my husband’s story. In the late 1970’s my husband (we weren’t married at the time) was told he had 3 different cancer cells that developed in his body and he had 3 weeks to live. He had a 6 month old son. He lived another 32 years after treatments and he felt his attitude had to be as positive as possible and that contributed to his cure. We were married the last 29 years is his life. Someone stated surprise that I still married him after knowing of his health history and the problems he might go through. I told them he was such a great man, I was grateful for the years I had with him. We raised his son and had a very happy life. It taught us to live in the moment because we didn’t know how many we had. He died almost 14 years ago and his son was 32 years old. We had a great life and if I had it to do over again I wouldn’t hesitate. You and your family stay positive and enjoy each day as best as you can with each other. It’s a heavy cross for y’all to carry, I know, but you can do this out of love for each other. I don’t know if I said but my husband was about 25 years old when diagnosed. You ALL are in my prayers daily. May you hang on to every ounce of strength and follow the advice of your wise friend to give 100% that you can THAT day. I’m sorry this is so long. It was on my heart to share our story.

You are living every Mother’s nightmare but Ray is so lucky to have you. It seem as if he has some great doctors. Prayers, love and hugs are coming your way.🙏🏻🙏🏻
Kelly, you amaze me with the strength you have in articulating Rays story. You are stronger than you know. Continued prayers for you and your family.
My neighbor had her stomach removed over 20 years ago due to polyps. It saved her life! Praying for Ray, you & your family.
Hi Kelly, Someone sent me this when I went through a health crisis and it described a lot of my feelings. I see you and all that your going through...being stronger than anyone should ever have to be, making your way one day at a time...bearing the full weight of something so difficult. I see you, and even in the middle of all of this, I see something inspiring...the strength of someone who's affected by circumstance, but not defined by it. I see you rising, again and again, and I just know that one day soon you'll rise up and stay there. You and your family are a wonderful example for us all. Sending prayers and hugs.
Kelly - I am here to tell you that Ray is so very fortunate to have the mom that he does. I can tell from all your videos during this cancer journey that you do ALL you can for him. God is with you all the time. I continue to pray for all of you. I'm so glad that you use youtube to express your feelings. I really believe that does have positive benefits. We are all here for you guys. One day at a time, Kelly.
My heart goes out to you and Ray. You are a strong dedicated mom. I don’t personally know you guys but I pray for you and Ray. I can’t wait for the day you come on and say all is well with Ray. He’s out of the woods and doing fine. That day will come. God bless you both.
Sending light, love and prayers to all of you. Kelly I pray Ray's dad is there for him as much as you are.
Hang in there! My mom had her stomach removed 30 years ago, for a bleeding ulcer. She had to eat a bit differently, more often. With all the weight loss surgeries being done, there's a lot of experience out there. We encourage you, along this difficult journey. Every step is an adaptation, and you're doing great. Thanks for showing how a family copes with this, with love and support.
🙏🙏🙏 and big hugs!!!
Blessings to you and your Mom💖🙏🏻
As a mother, my heart goes out to you, because I know exactly what you’re going through. My daughter was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer at the age of 30, that was in 2010. It is hard living day to day with the fear of what the next day will bring. But you get through it because of your love for your child. You stay strong and positive for them. The one thing that helped me get through it, was leaning on God. Our faith in God helped us get through each day and each challenge and each step back and each step forward. My daughters colon cancer was quite advanced when they found it. They gave her one and a half to two years, but with her being so young and such a fighter, she said I’m not going anywhere and gave us 12 years. Like I said, it was quite advanced when they found it, and it finally took its toll on her. I thank God for giving her that time with us. She proved to be a lot stronger than those around her. I will add you and your family, especially Ray to my prayer list. Stay strong, and stay positive. God bless.🙏🏻
12 years is amazing! ❤❤❤❤
So sorry for your loss, but what a fighter your daughter was. ❤
Continued prayers for all of you Kelly. ❤🙏🙏
Jodi your in my prayers sending hugs and love
❤🙏
Kelly, not only can you do this, you are doing it. I love what your friend, Jay, said. That goes for all of us. Sending light, energy, positive thoughts and vibes to Ray and your entire family. Bless your heart! ❤
Yes what Jay said was perfect and true 👍
Kelly, I had to have a gstric bypass to basically save my life. Yes, it takes a minute to get used to eating a new way... but I know he can do it, especially after all he's been through. I know it worries you, but that part of it all will be fine. I'll cntinue to pray for all of you, and praying that the doctor is extremely successful. We love you all so much. Hang in there kiddo... God is hearing us !!
Stay strong Kelly! You are amazing! Those happy days are coming right at the end of that tunnel. Sending continued prayers your way.
Kelly, I wanted so badly to reach through my phone to hold and comfort you. I was my youngest son's caregiver as well as taking care of my 4 yr old grandson. We knew Andy was terminal and I gave as much as I could to provide whatever he needed or wanted to do. You are going through so much worse with the ups and downs. I'll be praying for all of you for the strength, patience, hope and all else you require. You are a wonderful mother and a great person. God bless you and your family on this terrifying journey. Take care of yourself too. We will all be praying for you in the hope that Ray makes a recovery. Again, my prayers.
Dear Kelly…..please do you! So many of us totally understood what you were doing to Ray’s house. You did what any mother would do for one of her children when she could. And thank you so much for the terrific news. With the Grace of God and all of us, Ray is going to come through all of this. We all love you and will be continuing to keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.
I am sure I am speaking for many of your subscriber "family " when I say we are here for not only your original platform, but also to uplift you in the difficult times and rejoice with you in the good times. I am so happy to hear of the healing that has allowed for the surgery! I also have a 28 yr old son and could not imagine the extent of how worrisome and difficult this is for you. Continued prayers ❤
As a mom who watched her only daughter slowly loose her life from a horrible disease at the age of 33, I totally understand this cancer nightmare journey your on with your son. The heartache, the fears, the stress and helplessness. I must have cried oceans. It changes your life forever.
You, your family and your amazing son are in my thoughts and prayers. 🙏🙏
Kelly you will survive and I truly believe your son in time will be feeling good again. My heart goes out to your son. This journey is so physically and emotionally draining on them.
One day at a time. ❤️❤️❤️❤️💪💪💪💪👍👍👍.
Kelly sometimes we have to take it ONE MINUTE AT A TIME!! When you’re down look back AT ALLL THE DAYS YOU MADE IT SO FAR--NOW THATS A LONG ROAD TOO! CONGRATULATIONS ❤️ MAY GOD SURROUND YOU AND RAY AND THE GIRLS WITH HIS PEACE THAT SURPASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING!! I lift up Dr Wu and Rays entire surgical team that god will guide them throughout this whole journey and I DECLARE COMPLETE SUCCESS AND HEALING OVER RAY IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS!🙌🏻🔥🙌🏻❤️
Amen 🙏🏼 I agree ☝🏼
@@melissaybarra1924 amen ❤
@1975austria you have my extreme sympathy on the loss of your daughter. There are so many posts on here where people have lost loved ones. They all have my utmost sympathy and prayers. No parent should ever have to bury their child. In a parent's eyes and mind, this human that has passed away is still their baby. It is a pain that will never truly go away. The strength that a parent has to find from deep within to survive such pain is unique and god-given. Please know that I pray that your pain is eased and that you can rest and regain some of the strength that you need in order to continue moving forward in life--now without your daughter.
Kelly, I cannot even begin to imagine what you, Ray and your girls are going through, my two daughters and I only had breast cancer to go through and I remember my youngest reaction to chemo. You all are in our thoughts and prayers. You are such a strong woman and you will get through this and helping Ray through it. When I see your videos I just can't imagine how you do it. Just know, as you can see from all these wonderful, encouraging comments, you have many prayers going up to God. Prayers for the surgeries and the surgeons. God bless you all. 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
I’m so happy to hear the surgery is on! Praying for a successful outcome for Ray and peace for you and the girls! 🙏🏻 ❤
I will continue to pray for Ray and all of you. I am so sorry for the ups and downs, and the uncertainty of all of it. I pray Ray's surgery will go well. And I pray for Ray's peace of mind, and for the Peace of mind of all who love him.
I am alway happy to see you and hear about Ray’s progress because you, Ray, and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. So whenever you give updates, I’m happy to get them. Yes I love your DIYs, but Ray is your son and therefore part of you. Keep strong Kelly God is not going to leave you nor forsake you. I promise. He is with you, and so are your subscribers.
Exactly!!! ❤❤
So glad to hear that Ray will be having the surgery! And as a 2 time cancer survivor myself, I agree... GET THAT TUMOR OUT OF HIS BODY! Sending prayers for your entire family and the surgical teams. 🙏♥️🙏
Thank you so much for the update, Kelly. You have been so brave throughout this hellacious journey. Please know all of your viewers are behind you all supporting you and praying for you all. Prayers, hugs and love as Ray faces this next chapter. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Kelly, I pray that Ray continues to be strong and fight through these hard days. I also pray he has a successful surgery and can heal comfortably and quickly. I also pray for the strength and comfort for you and your daughters as you help Ray through this. Please let Ray know he is being held in prayer by so many. Thank you for sharing his story, it’s so very personal, but allows everyone to send positive vibes and prayers his way. Your family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
Remembered Y’all all day and prayed, just waiting for good news after surgery today’ 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼✝️
Dear Kelly: one day at a time sounds so trite, but that’s the way to make it through this journey. Prayers layered on prayers for you and the family. God bless you.💜🙏🏼
You are doing this as every momma does, one small step, one day, one victory at a time. When you get back out of the tunnel and into the light, as you say, and Ray has settled into his new reality post surgery, you will find balance and happy moments again. You have all come so far, you can make it through the next step! We believe in you! ❤
It makes your channel a more "homey" and most of us love that you feel like you can talk to us. Thank you! Love and prayers always
Kelly, I continue to pray for you, for Ray, and your family. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family and especially for your son Ray. 🙏🏻
Peayers for Ray and all of the many children and adults fighting this horrible disease! I cry for you all and rejoice when you have any good news! God be with you!
Oh Bless your heart Miss Kelly. You and Ray are in my prayers. Remember to take care of yourself as well. I am a caretaker to my husband, we can only care for them if we are well. God Bless
Kelly, there is no word to describe the kind of thank you I want to say to you and Ray. Your articulate honest sharing is so heartfelt and educational to the world outside of your home. This is one of the most difficult hurdles in life and so many people don’t know what is ahead of them, what options are in front of them, what questions to ask and everyone is terrified to share their heartfelt feelings and emotions of this journey for fear of it making them look weak, not supportive enough and hopeless. You my fine lady and your son have opened a door that has acknowledged so many people’s emotions and made it okay to feel this way on the most difficult journey of life. Thank you both for what you are doing as you are truly supporting so many people that have or are going through similar challenges. You have acknowledged that their fears are real and you have given courage to not give up and to have hope each day. Many prayers to you, Ray and your family. You and your family are incredibly compassionate wonderful people. ❤️
Kelly we are all praying for you , Ray and your family. Lots of love and prayers. ❤❤❤
Beautifully said 🙏
Kelly- don’t worry about your “verbiage” - we know what you mean and if anyone calls you out on something you said- ignore them! Ray is what everyone here is concerned about and praying for!🙏❤️ You’re right- you take this a day at a time. That’s the only way right now. Praying 🙏🙏🙏
I know what u meant!
I'm having my 2nd mastectomy Monday. Chemo will come! I'm thankful I have a great surgeon. 3 operations & I haven't had any pain at all. I dread Chemo. I'm so glad you have some good news about Ray. I have panic attacks every day when I wake up, so I understand your anxiety. Anxiety & depression are awful. To have that to begin with & going through what you are now must be horrendous! I can see Ray's light at the end of the tunnel. You will all be in my prayers.
❤ Stay positive! You know it. You and Ray and the girls are taking one day, sometimes one step at a time. I'm praying for each of you. My sister battled stage 4 cancer in her late 30s and beat it. However, that journey changed us all. Our parents were 36 and 42 when they married and both had passed before her cancer was discovered. We as sisters rallied behind her, my brother did what he could from his duty station. He was there for her surgery. She gained 20+ years with us, but informed us in 2020 she was once again battling cancer. Again, we rallied, and my sister was such a gracious, thoughtful, brave person. She had been so very ill the year before (sepsis, a year in hospital and skilled nursing) but she never failed to think of us. Ray is fighting and I pray along with so many that we all rejoice in his healing.
Kelly our God is a mighty God, Ray has so many people praying for him. Although this has got to be the scariest situation for you and your family have faith in knowing you have an army of prayer warriors behind you. I will continue to lift Ray in prayer as well as you and your family. Continue to be blessed. God is always good ❤🙏 You are an amazing mother ❤️🙏
Kelly, my mom passed away just a little over 9 years ago of pancreatic cancer. Now we just found out my brother has cancer and I will be his caregiver. And believe me, it is just getting by, one day at a time. My prayers are always with Ray, you and the girls. You are a wonderful mom and a truly amazing woman. You are so much stronger than you realize ❤
So happy he’s able to get the surgery for tumor removal. Ray and your family have been through so much and my heart aches for you. What a blessing for him to have you and the girls to love and support him through this. I continue to pray for you Kelly. God is aware of you for sure and you will get through this. We love you Kelly and your family.
♥️🙏🏼🙏🏼♥️
This opportunity is so wonderful. Ray will adjust to his new life. He will find new and positive things to focus on and he will have a long wonderful life. The strength the two of you have shown is so inspiring. Sending you all the positive energy to heal and thrive.
Great news for Ray and your family! Continued prayers for all! ❤❤❤
Kelly you should not be sorry about terminologies, honestly I didn’t know there was a difference and you shared how Ray bought this house and with your vision you did an amazing job and gave us ideas on how we can do upgrades on our homes. You are an amazing crafter and mom. I continue to pray for you Ray and the girls. We are his hope. I understand how he is dealing with this, that’s ok you guys have us. There is happiness at the end of the tunnel. I just know it. You guys have been through so much. I’m praying for your happiness. Just take deep breath’s even though it may be tough at times I believe you.
Kelly., I had gastric bypass surgery 19 years ago. It was tough going at first. It got easier with each passing day. 19 years, later i am able to eat almost anything
except large amounts of meat and my all time favorite, rice and gravy. I love vegetables and all soft texture foods. He will get through this. The power of prayer is all around Ray and your family. My prayers are with all of you daily. God bless!
Continued prayers for all of you. When I was 16 years old, my mom was told that she had less than 2 years to live. My grandmother told the doctor off. And told my mother that only God knows how long we have. My mother died when I was 41 in a car accident. Prayers help and gave me 23 extra years with my mom.
Kelly, you are getting through this because you are a great mom. You are amazing. You all are dealing with it in your own way, but with respect for each other. Sending you hugs.
Praise God that he is able to have surgery! As a mom, I completely understand you wanting it out! So greatful for you all, continuing to keep you, Ray and the girls in my prayers!
Kelly, you are an amazing Mom and caregiver and if I am ever in a situation similar to yours, I hope I can be half the person you have shown all of us you are! Ray is such a lucky son to have you in his corner and when he is past the chemo and radiation and surgeries, you will have many Happy days ahead of you with Ray! GOD bless you and your family and we will continue to offer our prayers and well wishes for you all!
I’m so happy that the surgery will take place. God will guide the surgeon and the light will be bright and Ray will be healed. My prayers are with you all. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I feel your confusion and pain. You are doing a terrific job! Everybody has their own path to travel and you are doing such an excellent job assisting Ray on his. None of this is easy, but living life is tough sometimes. Please take care, be safe, and feel the love from all of us...we're here for you.❤
I appreciate your updates. The more we know, the more we know how to pray for Ray. I'm glad you feel the love from your followers & know that we care about you both. May God continue to give Ray strength and healing. You are an awesome mom! ❤
Kelly you're so much stronger than you realise and my prayers and thoughts are with you all for Ray's surgery to go well and be successful, and that you all find Happy again.
You have been amazing all through Ray's journey and let's pray that an upturn is just around the corner, you and your children have earned this.
Thinking of you all especially Ray ❤️ xx
I’m continuing to pray for Ray and your precious family! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Kelly - You are an amazing mom! I have three children - ages 40, 35, & 28. Jay has given you some very good advice! I will keep you, Ray and your entire family in my thoughts and prayers! ❤🙏🙏🙏
Dear God, please look after Ray in his time of need. Please guide the surgeon and the team through a successful operation and grant Ray a speedy recovery. Strengthen Kelly and the girls and give them comfort and restore their joy.
Amen. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Amen! 🙏❤
AMEN
Oh Kelly, I wish I could go through this screen and give you a big hug! My heart goes out to Ray, you and the girls. I’m so glad to hear that Ray is going to be able to get the surgery to remove that tumor, it definitely has to go. In the meantime I will continue to keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. Sending love and light .
Kelly, thank you for the strength that you have shown today. Please know your family is not alone in this. We are here with you. Sending positive ( healing ) energy your way. Our prayers for your son and family are bold and constant. My prayer now is that we can get your son to a place of hope and visualizing and planning for a brighter tomorrow. May you all feel the love and support that surrounds you at this time. Love from S. California.
Continuing to lift you all up in prayer especially Ray. I can’t even imagine this storm y’all are going through. My husband has chronic myeloid leukemia and has had it for 19 years. He takes oral chemotherapy everyday. His life did drastically change and most days are really good and then some days aren’t. For Ray after the surgery will be time for healing and strength so he can find his new normal. One day at a time, sometimes one minute at a time. ❤️❤️
Kelly, I am one of those that wait anxiously to hear about your son. It gives me solace to think that you get some comfort sharing this difficult journey; most of us feel helpless other than out prayers. I am not a DIY person, but I am learning. I will continue to pray for Ray and for you.
Kelly, We are hoping and praying for you and Ray. Who wouldn’t have anxiety ? Its A LOT!
Kelly I think your channel followers are glad that you keep us informed of how your son Ray is doing. We are all here for you. Btw your diy’s are so darn cute.
Sending love support and pleasant thoughts to you all! Please know we all love you Kelly! ❤
Kelly my heart is with you. I keep you, Ray, and the rest of your family in thoughts every day. You are a wonderful person for all you do. Keep light in sight.
God bless you all.
I am praying for all of y'all! This is hard on all of y'all. Clean slate coming up for Ray. Having had a gastric bypass, he will be ok. Sugar will become an enemy and it will be awhile before he can eat regular food. Protein drinks will become his friend. Y'all will get this figured out!
Prayers for you, Ray, your family, and the doctors. So sorry y'all are having to go through this awful battle.
Kelly, your family is an extension of us all. Truly I would love a weekly or daily update. At this point the diy's are a bonus. Keep the faith, know we are all still praying and keep you all In our hugging arms. We love you all.
You are an amazing mother! Prayers for Ray and his surgeons. He has an amazing team of doctors. Continued prayers!
Kelly. We are all here for you. Your family are all in our prayers. Also all of the doctors ,surgeon s and every one of the medical staff involved in caring for Ray. May there hands be guided with skill . Xx
The advice from your friend is remarkable. What a good way to approach each day. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for giving us an update on Ray. My 25 year old son was just found to have a 15 cm mass on his spleen. He had a CT scan and they don't think it's cancer, but he still needs surgery to have the mass and his spleen removed. I've never been more terrified waiting for the CT results. I'll continue to send prayers and good vibes your way. Stay strong my dear. We are all here for you and Ray.
Sending PRAYERS Tonight from Arizona for a successful surgery and complete HEALING for your sweet boy☆♡☆♡☆♡...Luv, Holly:)
Bless you, the girls and especially Ray. I’m not sure there’s anything I can say except that my thoughts, prayers, and love are with you. The pain you’re coping with is unimaginable. Ray is a fighter and will win this! 🙏🏻❤️xoxo
Praise the Lord Ray is having the tumor removed & the liver lesions burned off! Come on Prayer Warriors let’s pray harder for Ray & his family ❤🙏🏻✝️
Thank-you Lord for Ray to be having this surgery, please watch over Ray and his doctors. Praying for you all.🙏💜
If you get to read this comment I want you to know that I believe that things will turn out fine for Ray. I'm just a Mother who went through losing 2 sons who were diagnosed with HIV at the tender ages of 7 and 12. There wasn't any hope for them. It was at the time when there was only one drug on the market. Just to make this short, Ray has hope, he can have this surgery. You are doing great Kelly. I know the ups and downs, the anxiety attacks I suffered for years. They lived until 24 and 23 with this disease. I want you to know that my prayers for you and Ray are heartfelt and constant. Thank you for sharing this because it has helped me in ways I can't express. May God be with you and your whole family but especially with Ray and his team of doctors.
Prayers for the very best outcome. Strength and wisdom to the doctors. Strength and love for you Ray and the family.
We will pray for Ray and his success in this! Love to you all. I’m five years into the cancer game, and I can say that eventually Ray can be fine and I certainly will pray that he is fine after all of his treatments. Take care of Ray and take care of you.
Thank you for the update Kelly I don’t get on your channel everyday but I’m still praying for Ray; you and all of your family. thank you 🙏
Kelly, you are so amazing and such a strong lady! My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you each and every day! Huge hugs for everyone!
Kelly, continued prayers for healing for Ray, for wisdom for the doctors who are helping him, and for you and your family as you give care, strength, and support to your son. I'm so glad you reach out and let us know what is happening and how you are coping. It is not easy to go through these trials, but you are not alone, we, your fans, are here and are praying. God bless.
Ray is always in my thoughts and my prayers. You are an incredible mom. ❤️
Oh sweet Kelly! You have done a remarkable job explaining this so we all can understand! Continued prayers for Ray! He and you are in constant thoughts and continued prayer. You CAN and ARE fighting this HUGE fight, my friend! I LOST my son, so things do get worse! Youre strong, whether you know it or not! Youve got this! ❤️🥰
You are doing amazing holding everything together. Sending prayers. May God bless both you and Ray with his healing powers.
Continued prayers and positive thoughts for Ray, your family and the whole medical team involved. ❤ 🙏
You and Ray are in my nightly prayers. You are incredibly strong and Ray is courageous. It's so exhausting and depressing to feel so badly, buy he is battling like a warrior.
I don’t have any magic words for you….but I am a mom & I can share that you are indeed doing a fantastic job at it. You & your family have survived %100 of every worse day that has come along, with greatest of patience & care. Keep standing firm in your faith, keep a green bough in your heat & God will send a singing bird. Which probably sounds odd- but my grandmother taught me that years ago & it has never let me down either!
Prayers at work. God Bless You all .
Kelly I’m so happy to hear that Ray will be receiving his surgery. He is a very brave person and you are a very strong caring person. You will all get through this. I will continue praying for you, Ray, Kayla and Allie. I only ask your prayers in return for my uncle who has inoperable bone cancer.
