... While watching your inspirational videos, I can only see the two letters, K & B. I now refer to them as "Kelly is Brave!" You're helping many by sharing your story. As a counselor, I give you credit for "cycling through" your emotions; it's important. I'm praying for Ray and ALL of your family and subscribers/viewers.
So glad for the update. I am a survivor of 4th stage throat cancer, 18 years ago. I prayed for you and Ray just about the whole time you were on. God does work miracles! Please continue to stay positive. You don’t know how much that means to Ray. I pray God gives you and Ray strength, knowledge and understanding. Please know that a lot of people are praying for Ray. I love you and y’all are on my mind.
Oh Momma..I asked a special person /group to add Ray (and you & family) to their prayers. My heart hurt knowing you couldn’t go into the hospital with Ray. No matter how old or grown our children are...they always need our support and love...and we always want be there with them and for them. You just take good care of your family...we got you.. in our hearts, good thoughts and prayers !! Thank you for keeping us updated 🙏♥️🤗
I absolutely love you! Your attitude toward life is a tribute to your entire family! I am so glad treatment has started and I will continue to pray for your family, focus on Ray, obviously! I can't wait until you come back and give us the update that the PETSCAN shows the treatment is working even better than they thought and Ray is on the road to remission! Love you all, hugs! REIKI, find a reiki master and open up all his Chakras, it will allow the healing energy to flow more freely. I had uterine & colon, I did a mix of Western and Eastern medicine! Yin/Yang, it's all about balance!!!
So happy to hear that Ray's treatments have begun! The bureaucracy of medical insurance is shameful, but sounds like his doctor was a great champion on that front! It's hard but you are a strong, creative mama and you are approaching this with grace and understanding already! Keeping the balance for you and all the kids is so smart and some bits of joy as often as you can. Sending you all love & light! ❤🙏✨
I was just telling my husband, who is a cancer survivor, that I was praying for a positive update from you about Ray so thank you for this. You guys will have rough days but they will get less and as Ray gets better, the good days will outnumber the rough ones. You are a brave lady and Ray is very much your son. 💕🙏🏻😇
Thank you for the update Kelly. When I watch your videos, I do wonder how Ray is doing. There are days when I close my eyes and I solely concentrate on Ray and just send my positive vibes to him. I pray for him as well. Keep doing what your doing. It’s great that you and the girls have outlets. I’ll just keep staying positive.🦋
Carmen Ryan excellent job! Yes keep up those positive vibes. See God's healing light traveling through Ray's blood and organs. We lightworkers can help more than we realize! Hugs my friend
I am praying so hard for Ray, you and the girls, Kelly. I have a 28 year old son and when I heard about Ray I could only imagine myself in your shoes. Your strength and calm is awe-inspiring. Ray is so lucky to have such an amazingly strong and supportive momma. Keep doing what you're doing, honey. In God, all things are possible. Always trust that better days are ahead. Please know that Ray has an army of prayer warriors to help all of you through this fight. Along with prayers, sending you lots of love and positivity! ❤🙏
“Kelly is Brave” I love it 🥰 my thoughts and prayers are with you, Ray and your girls. Stay strong, Kelly. Thank you for the update. We are here for you🥰🥰
Your reaction to the treatment room was pretty normal - you didn't want Ray to have to be there, but it is a healing room and now you understand. Of course all of us will continue to keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. We are all with you
Waiting 10 weeks for approval is ridiculous especially for someone who needs therapy urgently. That said, I am glad they finally approved the immunotherapy. I admire you and everyone in your family for staying strong and positive even though there are bad days. I agree it's important to not let them overcome you. Sending best wishes your way.
Thank you for the update on Ray. Each day is a journey, a fight, and constant battle. I worked in Medical field for 37 yrs...insurance companies are a cancer themselves, doing everything possible to delay, deny, and question every move for patients. Just imagine the doctors & nurse's frustrations trying to help patient and there families. My thoughts & prayers are with all of you 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Kelly for the update on you the girls but especially RAY! I really don’t know what takes the insurance companies so long to approve such things. But glad they have and Ray has started treatment. We will continue to pray 🙏🏼 that Ray can get through treatment with as little of side effects as possible. ❤ I know as a mother you just want to hold your child until all the bad goes away…it is hard to watch them feel so bad. Kelly take care of yourself as you go though this with Ray. ❤️🙏🏼FromTX
@@bonnienorris8562 because the purpose of insurance is to deny treatment to increase profit for them. The OP was correct. Insurance is a cancer to our healthcare. We need healthcare for all. M4A.
Thank you for the update on Ray. I continue to pray for him, you and the girls. I'm going to add the insurance issues to my prayers. All things are possible with God!
The absolute frustration and confusion dealing with insurance companies is REAL! My daughter faced Colon Cancer at 18. Old enough to make medical decisions for herself and limit any involvement from us as parents but too young for doctors and insurance representatives to respect her choices. There is more to deal with than the physical. Praying for your family as well as Ray. ❤
I am in awe of you Kelly. Your attitude and courage are remarkable. Ray (and your girls) are so lucky to have you by their side guiding and encouraging them through this battle. Thank you for the update. I will continue to pray for Ray and you all.
Thank you for the update. I was an ICU nurse for 35 years and being positive is essential . I saw so many patients that were given such devastating diagnosis come through and I can tell you much of it was their resolve to live. Praying and sending you positive thoughts ♥️♥️♥️🙏🏻
There is no greater pain than losing a child, no matter the age, or seeing a loved one sick or suffering. My 41 year old son passed away suddenly this past July, and it was a horrific shock for our family. The pain and loss are beyond measure. May you find strength to endure the fight you and your son are facing.
So sorry for your loss. Close friends of ours lost a 34 year old son suddenly in February of this year. He was healthy then suddenly gone. May you also find peace and strength.
Kelly, there is so much to learn from the powerful words that you shared in this video. Your decision to not let Ray's cancer define your life is amazing. We all have battles in our lives, and your inspirational words are a wonderful reminder to not let our battles define who we are or what our "normal" is. Such a timely message for me, and I'm sure for others, as well. I pray for strength, courage, wisdom and patience for you and ALL of your family. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yes! Amen! What she said^. I was thinking to myself how her words were encouraging us in her time of need! I couldn’t have said it any better than you did! Prayers & hugs to you Kelly
I’m so glad someone was able to help you change your outlook! Please don’t ever feel bad or ashamed for showing a bit of anger or even distrust of the situation because those feeling will come and go and you have the right to process everything as you will. Our family is praying for yours every day!!
Praying that through the Doctor's care and God's divine healing that Ray will be healed 100%. Kelly, when all of this is over you really should do a TED Talk. You are so inspiring.🙏
Kelly, your reaction to the room is so normal and real as you wouldn't be there if Ray wasn't sick. Learning that this is a healing room is also real as Ray is in the healing cycle. Always embrace that as you are doing. This room will become a sanctuary of sorts for fear, anger, love and hope, a place to pray, to reflect. Concerning Ray's sensitivity to cold, would a padded or wooden toilet seat help? I was going to suggest a sewn mitten for the handle and for the faucets that can be laundered and replaced. Your attitude is so amazing. I am praying for all of you. You are never far from my thoughts.
It is sad that the health insurance companies are much more of a money making business than a personal health coverage. I'm happy to hear he is hanging in there. Continued prayers 🙏 for him and y'all.
Thank you for the update. Shame on the Insurance Company(s) for that delay. Everyday call on your angels and Arch Angels to be with all of you in whatever way you may need for that moment, day, week etc. Merry Christmas to all of you! Keeping you all in my thouthts and prayers.
It is exhausting....mentally, emotionally and physically. You are handling it just as you are supposed to. Be gentle with yourself. Keep staying positive and realize this is a marathon, not a sprint. Know we are all praying for Ray and all of you!
As a 2 time breast cancer survivor I know what your family is facing. I had my first bout at 25 and I am still going strong at 68 and just celebrated my first great grandchild's birth. I will keep you all in my prayers and share with you the advice I was given all those years ago: fight, fight every day. Be your own defender and look to the future while caring for the present. Sending prayers and lots of LOVE!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You’re Amazing Kelly…an AWESOME Mom, an AWESOME PERSON and you stay positive. Our thoughts and prayers continue for you, Ray and the girls. Thank you for your strength and inspiration. You’re teaching all of us valuable lessons through all you’re going through and the courage, grace and attitude by which you meet this overwhelming challenge. You hang in there…we’re all with you. Thank you Kelly. Lots of love, big hugs, healing thoughts and prayers.
My cancer experience was life changing. I felt alone in a dark forest with small rays of light poking thru the canopy. As my journey and treatments progressed I saw more light and just focused on that. Eventually I was at the woods edge and if I looked back the darkness was there, but I kept moving and fighting for the light. I pray his treatment brings him through this. One day at a time he can get there. Stay strong.
I want to thank you for sharing your positivity with us! I’ve experienced several traumatic events and losses the past few years and your positive words are helping raise my spirits. I continue to pray for Ray and your family. Much love, strength and hugs to each of you. 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
I, too, am going thru cancer treatment....larynx cancer stage 4a. It's not an easy trek, but I can tell you, being positive is where it's at! My prayers for Ray as he goes thru this journey! My doctor gave me LOTS of anti-naseau meds and they really worked. Stay strong g Kelly and God bless you! I have 6 children and I am going thru this alone with the exception of one of my daughter in laws.
I’m so sorry you don’t have more support than you do! It breaks my heart and I see this a lot unfortunately as I work at an oncology office. It just burns me up that grown kids will bring their parent to an actual drs appointment and not even bother to come in with them!!! I understand about treatment because we can’t allow anyone but patients into the treatment room unless there are special circumstances such as dementia or being disabled and their caregiver is the only one that can understand them. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
When I was going through treatment and having a rough time my Dr. told me This to shall pass, I still think of this any time I’m having a hard time 20 years later!! ❤❤❤❤
The update sounds very positive and hopeful. Ray and your family are in my prayers. There is no shame in a moment of overwhelm. It doesn’t make you a negative Nelly. God gave your friend the right words you needed to hear to help change your mindset. This is a scary time and a very stressful time but you strike me as one of the strongest people I’ve ever experienced. You have a quiet fierceness and your son is blessed to have you for a mom. ❤
Oh Kelly my heart goes out to Ray you and the girls. I hope and pray that Ray’s treatment goes well and his cancer is 100% cured. Love and prayers from Western Australia ❤️🇦🇺
Beautiful mom Kelly, I am so inspired not only with the crafts you bring us. I am also encourage by your strength and resistance. I know it's hard because 2 fam. members of mine also battled this. You are an amazing person who has picked me up in low hours. Not days.. hours. Your right and I believe he will be healed. Globally is our Church. Prayers are literally going up everyday for your son's recovery of the chemo and side affects and ultimately total Remission and Healing. Much love to you and your family. ❤️🙏🙌❤️
Kelly, praying for Ray, you and the girls! Cancer is such a hard thing to deal with but your positive attitude and Ray’s positive attitude with God’s help will get you all through this. Stay strong!
Keeping Ray, you & family in my prayers. Stay strong Mama Bear. I was in medical field 40 yrs & treatments protocols have come so far. Ray is a strong, young man. May you feel God's loving arms wrapped around you all. Please tell Ray we love him & he is never alone. XO
I was devastated when I learned in 2020 that my sister had breast cancer. Cancer was not common in my family so this took everyone by surprise. She had 4 months of chemo and had her rough days with the side effects. But, she stayed upbeat and maintained a positive attitude. I'm the oldest so I had to pull with everything I had the strength to be there for her. It wasn't about me, but her. Kelly, this will be behind Ray before you realize it, although right now it doesn't seem so. My sister's positive outlook gave not only her strength she needed, but also passed that strength to everyone in our family. She is now going on three years since it all began and she is living life large. She lost her husband of nearly 50 years last Thanksgiving. That strength she found to help her fight her cancer again came thru and gave her the will to continue living life as full as she can even after such a devastating loss. You're faith will get you thru. Your sharing will help so many others. I know it would have meant the world to me if I followed your journey while I was going thru my sister's. Thank you and God bless you and all your family. Especially Ray. I'm keeping the prayers forward for you.
I'm glad to get the update on Ray. He is finally starting his treatments, happy to hear that. It took the insurance long enough. We are all still praying for Ray and you 3 girls. Your strength is amazing.
Thank you for the update about Ray. You're a STRONG MOM! You got this! I can relate in somewhat way. It's never easy seeing our kids go through cancer but God is guiding you guys. Sending my love and support. Hugs hugs hugs! Continuing Prayers!
Thank you so much for keeping us in the loop! You’re doing a great job with what you’ve been dealt. Never feel like it’s not enough. You’re only one person. And you’re doing great! Praying for Ray and your whole family! 🙏🙏🙏
My younger sister was diagnosed with cancer in October and you described how I was feeling so well. It brought me comfort, thank you. I am sending prayers for Ray and all of you.
Oh Kelly…..continued prayers and love for Ray, you and all the family. I know how you are feeling since I had a 13 year old daughter diagnosed with bone cancer in 1984. At that time the diagnosis was very grim. She underwent 10 months of horrible chemo and 30 radiation treatments. Also, a few surgical procedures. The good news was she got through it when at that time only about 15% of the children survived. So never give us hope. You are in my heart. Stay strong and have faith.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤗🤗🤗💐
My heart wanted to break hearing the news about insurance company. Our country really needs to address these matters. Praying for Ray as a prayer warrior. God Bless you Kelly and your entire family. Ray is now taking the first steps to his complete recovery so that he himself can pass this onto others in the future. Love from Debbie and Dexter-Dog.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💝💝
Thank you for the update. I will continue to pray for you all and keep you all in my thoughts. Keep your spirits up the best you can. My momma/grandma heart goes out to you all.
Bless Ray's heart ❤️. I will be putting him on our church's prayer list. Those hiccups, he must have been miserable. Send him the love of many from my home to yours for all of you.
Kelly, you are such a a strong lady. Your positive influence is a daily reminder that we all need to focus on the good things in life. My prayers are with Ray for his full healing from this aggressive therapy and for you to continue to be uplifted and positive and for additional strength to handle all the duties you have to deal with daily. You are such an inspiration to everyone who knows you. God bless you, Ray, Kayla, and Allie. May you feel the comfort, peace and inspiration that only God can provide to get you all through this journey. Stay positive!! 🤗 xoxo
Thank you for the update on you and Ray. I am continuing to pray for Ray’s pet scan that it will be a good report and his cancer will be gone. May God keep you in His loving arms.
Sending you all hugs!!! You have a positive outlook an I'm sure Ray feels this!!! That's what he needs!!! You all are helping Ray to keep up the fight!!!! Non of us are perfect an you need those days. You all have awesome out look!!! You all are in my prayers an Ray is on our church prayer line. We all are praying for you all an that you feel God's loving hand there holding you all in love,holding you all up when you can't.
Thanks for the update. My husband and son passed away from cancer. I had the same reaction to the treatment room. Thankfully my perspective changed just as yours did. I tell people that when you walk into a treatment room seeing all those patients you realize cancer doesn’t discriminate. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers❤❤❤
Thanks for the update Kelly, I was 28 when diagnosed with cancer also, so that makes me a 40 years plus cancer survivor. You are such a strong mom and have a good outlook. Bless you!
Hugs! Kelley you are strong and you are what Ray needs and you are the reason Ray is so strong. Moms are warriors just bringing the child into the world and the job never gets easier. Just love every minute.💚
My prayers go out to Ray, you and the girls. I have been a cancer survivor for 14 years, and I know there are difficult days, but staying positive got me thru it, and believing that God had my back gave me peace to fight the battle. I know you guys will be ok. Just stay positive.🙏
It was so nerve wrecking every time I took my Mom into the Cancer Clinic for blood work and test results. Thank goodness Covid wasn't a thing at the time. I couldn't imagine now what it would of been like if I would of had to drop her off at the door. My prayers and positive vibes go to Ray and your family.
You are an example of strength for your children. Sending prayers for Ray and for your family. I am so glad that you have family and friends that you can vent and cry with. We are all here for you.
Just listening to you talk about how u are "living your life" sounds just like what a MOM does! Sounds like you are doing an extraordinary job for your family and yourself. Blessings and prayers to you, Ray and your family ❤
Thank you for the update on Ray. Prayers will continue to be ongoing. For all of you. I wish I could give you a big hug! Your strength is shining through, so stay strong and hang in there!
Our family is sending out healing vibes to yours. 🤗 My stepfather fought cancer most recently, he had hiccups just like you’re describing and he found some relief from tonic water. Keeping you in my thoughts
I heard this the other day and maybe it was meant to share “a heart full of gratitude has no room for anything else.” I’m thankful for all the medications available to help Ray, I’m thankful for this horrible awful day lol that I’m here to share it with family. Know that we are all praying you thru the bad days and you got the good days. ❤
Kelly, thank you so much for the update. I would imagine that the effort to stay so positive can sometimes be absolutely exhausting! Just know that when it seems overwhelming and like too much energy to do that, we are standing in that gap with positive, healing thoughts and energy, loving prayers, and sincere wishes for Ray and for you and the girls. Much love to you all! 💙💓
You couldn’t of said it any better! There are time where it takes EVERYTHING I have to be be positive and at the end of the day I am emotionally tapped out!
All Prayers are with you. You mean so much to all of us. I realize that maybe they can't start treatment the same day it is diagnosed, but the day after they could. There is no reason (no reason that I will understand) that justifies being 10 weeks behind in your work. Regardless. At my work some people are always 3 days behind and others are working on what came in yesterday. Both are doing a days worth of work in a day. If you want, I will call the Doctor. I will call the Doctor's mother if I have to. You, and all your family, are too important to be played by them. You are Awesome. You Deserve Only the Best!
Oh, Kelly & Ray. My heart is hurting for you both. Isn't the point of having insurance for these times we hope we never face? It's ironic. This is going to be a tough journey. But you have it in you, you're a strong team! It's ok to not be ok...that's human. We are your army! You can't see us all in person, but close your eyes, & imagine the waves of the ocean roaring....that's your army carrying you through the ebbs & flows, our love & prayers for all of you. ♡♡♡
Thank you for the update on Ray. My prayers are with you all always. I love this video. Your positivity and outlook is exactly what Ray needs. You are amazing.
I'm a cancer survivor and you brought back memories. In the beginning, every appointment was weeks away. I was a wreck! I wanted treatments to begin immediately! It doesn't work that way. Every day seems like eternity! Appreciate every day you have. Marie ♥️

Thank you for the update. Shame on the Insurance Company(s) for that delay. Everyday call on your angels and Arch Angels to be with all of you in whatever way you may need for that moment, day, week etc. Merry Christmas to all of you! Keeping you all in my thouthts and prayers.
Thank you for the update on Ray and the rest of the family. I continue to pray for all of you and continue to pray for God’s support for you all.
Hang in there, Kelly. We are with you. Prayers abound.
It is exhausting....mentally, emotionally and physically. You are handling it just as you are supposed to. Be gentle with yourself. Keep staying positive and realize this is a marathon, not a sprint. Know we are all praying for Ray and all of you!
You are such a strong person Kelly…that’s where Ray gets his strength! Continued love, prayers, positive vibes, and healing to all of you! ❤️🙏
As a 2 time breast cancer survivor I know what your family is facing. I had my first bout at 25 and I am still going strong at 68 and just celebrated my first great grandchild's birth. I will keep you all in my prayers and share with you the advice I was given all those years ago: fight, fight every day. Be your own defender and look to the future while caring for the present. Sending prayers and lots of LOVE!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You’re Amazing Kelly…an AWESOME Mom, an AWESOME PERSON and you stay positive. Our thoughts and prayers continue for you, Ray and the girls. Thank you for your strength and inspiration. You’re teaching all of us valuable lessons through all you’re going through and the courage, grace and attitude by which you meet this overwhelming challenge. You hang in there…we’re all with you. Thank you Kelly. Lots of love, big hugs, healing thoughts and prayers.
Sending thoughts and prayers and love for Ray. Sending strength and love for you and your daughters, and extra strength and love for Ray.
My cancer experience was life changing. I felt alone in a dark forest with small rays of light poking thru the canopy. As my journey and treatments progressed I saw more light and just focused on that. Eventually I was at the woods edge and if I looked back the darkness was there, but I kept moving and fighting for the light. I pray his treatment brings him through this. One day at a time he can get there. Stay strong.
I want to thank you for sharing your positivity with us! I’ve experienced several traumatic events and losses the past few years and your positive words are helping raise my spirits. I continue to pray for Ray and your family. Much love, strength and hugs to each of you. 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
I, too, am going thru cancer treatment....larynx cancer stage 4a. It's not an easy trek, but I can tell you, being positive is where it's at! My prayers for Ray as he goes thru this journey! My doctor gave me LOTS of anti-naseau meds and they really worked. Stay strong g Kelly and God bless you! I have 6 children and I am going thru this alone with the exception of one of my daughter in laws.
I’m so sorry you don’t have more support than you do! It breaks my heart and I see this a lot unfortunately as I work at an oncology office. It just burns me up that grown kids will bring their parent to an actual drs appointment and not even bother to come in with them!!! I understand about treatment because we can’t allow anyone but patients into the treatment room unless there are special circumstances such as dementia or being disabled and their caregiver is the only one that can understand them. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
We are all praying for ray! Thank you for the update. Ray u got this!!
When I was going through treatment and having a rough time my Dr. told me
This to shall pass, I still think of this any time I’m having a hard time 20 years later!! ❤❤❤❤
You and the girls got this Kelly! Sending Ray prayers, positivity and strength!💪
The update sounds very positive and hopeful. Ray and your family are in my prayers. There is no shame in a moment of overwhelm. It doesn’t make you a negative Nelly. God gave your friend the right words you needed to hear to help change your mindset. This is a scary time and a very stressful time but you strike me as one of the strongest people I’ve ever experienced. You have a quiet fierceness and your son is blessed to have you for a mom. ❤
Thank you Holli, for so beautifully saying everything I had in my heart but could not put into words! 💕😎👍🏽
You are doing so great, Kelly- praying for Ray and your whole family. 💗🙏🏻
Oh Kelly my heart goes out to Ray you and the girls. I hope and pray that Ray’s treatment goes well and his cancer is 100% cured. Love and prayers from Western Australia ❤️🇦🇺
Beautiful mom Kelly, I am so inspired not only with the crafts you bring us. I am also encourage by your strength and resistance. I know it's hard because 2 fam. members of mine also battled this. You are an amazing person who has picked me up in low hours.
Not days.. hours. Your right and I believe he will be healed. Globally is our Church. Prayers are literally going up everyday for your son's recovery of the chemo and side affects and ultimately total Remission and Healing. Much love to you and your family. ❤️🙏🙌❤️
You and your work and your life is an inspiration to me. Prayers for continued support for Ray and your family.
Kelly, praying for Ray, you and the girls! Cancer is such a hard thing to deal with but your positive attitude and Ray’s positive attitude with God’s help will get you all through this. Stay strong!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for Ray and your entire family. One minute at a time.
Thank you for the update on Ray. Continuing to pray for his healing.
Keeping Ray, you & family in my prayers. Stay strong Mama Bear. I was in medical field 40 yrs & treatments protocols have come so far. Ray is a strong, young man. May you feel God's loving arms wrapped around you all. Please tell Ray we love him & he is never alone. XO
I was devastated when I learned in 2020 that my sister had breast cancer. Cancer was not common in my family so this took everyone by surprise. She had 4 months of chemo and had her rough days with the side effects. But, she stayed upbeat and maintained a positive attitude. I'm the oldest so I had to pull with everything I had the strength to be there for her. It wasn't about me, but her. Kelly, this will be behind Ray before you realize it, although right now it doesn't seem so. My sister's positive outlook gave not only her strength she needed, but also passed that strength to everyone in our family. She is now going on three years since it all began and she is living life large. She lost her husband of nearly 50 years last Thanksgiving. That strength she found to help her fight her cancer again came thru and gave her the will to continue living life as full as she can even after such a devastating loss. You're faith will get you thru. Your sharing will help so many others. I know it would have meant the world to me if I followed your journey while I was going thru my sister's. Thank you and God bless you and all your family. Especially Ray. I'm keeping the prayers forward for you.
I am praying for Ray to get through his chemo treatments. And for you to stay strong for Ray. You are absolutely awesome. You got this.
Kelly you & your family are such brave warriors sending healing spirits and love and light😎
I am a stage 3 cancer survivor. Prayers for Ray and family. Stay positive. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm glad to get the update on Ray. He is finally starting his treatments, happy to hear that. It took the insurance long enough. We are all still praying for Ray and you 3 girls. Your strength is amazing.
Thank you for the update about Ray. You're a STRONG MOM! You got this! I can relate in somewhat way. It's never easy seeing our kids go through cancer but God is guiding you guys. Sending my love and support. Hugs hugs hugs! Continuing Prayers!
Hugs to all of you. ❤️ Continued prayers. 🙏❤️😘
Thanks for the update. I’m still praying for Ray and your family every day during my rosary. Sending lots of love and hugs. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Kelly I love your updates. God bless you for taking your time for doing this.
Thank you so much for keeping us in the loop! You’re doing a great job with what you’ve been dealt. Never feel like it’s not enough. You’re only one person. And you’re doing great! Praying for Ray and your whole family! 🙏🙏🙏
My younger sister was diagnosed with cancer in October and you described how I was feeling so well. It brought me comfort, thank you. I am sending prayers for Ray and all of you.
He will be fine just keep praying
I will pray for your sister too.
Oh Kelly…..continued prayers and love for Ray, you and all the family. I know how you are feeling since I had a 13 year old daughter diagnosed with bone cancer in 1984. At that time the diagnosis was very grim. She underwent 10 months of horrible chemo and 30 radiation treatments. Also, a few surgical procedures. The good news was she got through it when at that time only about 15% of the children survived. So never give us hope. You are in my heart. Stay strong and have faith.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤗🤗🤗💐
My heart wanted to break hearing the news about insurance company. Our country really needs to address these matters. Praying for Ray as a prayer warrior. God Bless you Kelly and your entire family. Ray is now taking the first steps to his complete recovery so that he himself can pass this onto others in the future. Love from Debbie and Dexter-Dog.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💝💝
Sending love…hugs…and prayers to Ray and all the family. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
Continuing to prayer for Ray and all of you. Stay strong and bless you all.
Thank you for the update. I will continue to pray for you all and keep you all in my thoughts. Keep your spirits up the best you can. My momma/grandma heart goes out to you all.
Bless Ray's heart ❤️. I will be putting him on our church's prayer list. Those hiccups, he must have been miserable. Send him the love of many from my home to yours for all of you.
Kelly, you are such a a strong lady. Your positive influence is a daily reminder that we all need to focus on the good things in life. My prayers are with Ray for his full healing from this aggressive therapy and for you to continue to be uplifted and positive and for additional strength to handle all the duties you have to deal with daily. You are such an inspiration to everyone who knows you. God bless you, Ray, Kayla, and Allie. May you feel the comfort, peace and inspiration that only God can provide to get you all through this journey. Stay positive!! 🤗 xoxo
FIGHT LIKE HELL MAMA BEAR!!!!
XO

Thanks for the update. My husband and son passed away from cancer. I had the same reaction to the treatment room. Thankfully my perspective changed just as yours did. I tell people that when you walk into a treatment room seeing all those patients you realize cancer doesn’t discriminate. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers❤❤❤
@Penny Clevenger, sorry for all you have been through.🙏💙🙏💙 Thank you for sharing. Sending you virtual hugs.
Thanks for the update Kelly, I was 28 when diagnosed with cancer also, so that makes me a 40 years plus cancer survivor. You are such a strong mom and have a good outlook. Bless you!
Keeping Ray and all of you in our prayers; thoughts with you all 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
I'll continue to pray for Ray. Sometimes we all need a reminder to look at things in a different way. We all wander from our path from time to time.
Hugs! Kelley you are strong and you are what Ray needs and you are the reason Ray is so strong. Moms are warriors just bringing the child into the world and the job never gets easier. Just love every minute.💚
My prayers go out to Ray, you and the girls. I have been a cancer survivor for 14 years, and I know there are difficult days, but staying positive got me thru it, and believing that God had my back gave me peace to fight the battle. I know you guys will be ok. Just stay positive.🙏
It was so nerve wrecking every time I took my Mom into the Cancer Clinic for blood work and test results. Thank goodness Covid wasn't a thing at the time. I couldn't imagine now what it would of been like if I would of had to drop her off at the door. My prayers and positive vibes go to Ray and your family.
Continuing to pray for Ray and your entire family, Kelly. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤❤❤
I’m still praying for Ray and you as well for strength and healing. Hugs and prayers
You are an example of strength for your children. Sending prayers for Ray and for your family. I am so glad that you have family and friends that you can vent and cry with. We are all here for you.
Just listening to you talk about how u are "living your life" sounds just like what a MOM does! Sounds like you are doing an extraordinary job for your family and yourself. Blessings and prayers to you, Ray and your family ❤
Thank you for the update on Ray. Prayers will continue to be ongoing. For all of you. I wish I could give you a big hug! Your strength is shining through, so stay strong and hang in there!
Thank you for the update on Ray. I think of him often and you too. I continue to pray for Ray daily.💕
Still praying for Ray and the rest of your family and friends. Thanks for the update!!
Our family is sending out healing vibes to yours. 🤗
My stepfather fought cancer most recently, he had hiccups just like you’re describing and he found some relief from tonic water. Keeping you in my thoughts
I heard this the other day and maybe it was meant to share “a heart full of gratitude has no room for anything else.” I’m thankful for all the medications available to help Ray, I’m thankful for this horrible awful day lol that I’m here to share it with family. Know that we are all praying you thru the bad days and you got the good days. ❤
Kelly, thank you so much for the update. I would imagine that the effort to stay so positive can sometimes be absolutely exhausting! Just know that when it seems overwhelming and like too much energy to do that, we are standing in that gap with positive, healing thoughts and energy, loving prayers, and sincere wishes for Ray and for you and the girls. Much love to you all! 💙💓
You couldn’t of said it any better! There are time where it takes EVERYTHING I have to be be positive and at the end of the day I am emotionally tapped out!
All Prayers are with you. You mean so much to all of us. I realize that maybe they can't start treatment the same day it is diagnosed, but the day after they could. There is no reason (no reason that I will understand) that justifies being 10 weeks behind in your work. Regardless. At my work some people are always 3 days behind and others are working on what came in yesterday. Both are doing a days worth of work in a day. If you want, I will call the Doctor. I will call the Doctor's mother if I have to. You, and all your family, are too important to be played by them. You are Awesome. You Deserve Only the Best!
Oh, Kelly & Ray. My heart is hurting for you both. Isn't the point of having insurance for these times we hope we never face? It's ironic. This is going to be a tough journey. But you have it in you, you're a strong team! It's ok to not be ok...that's human. We are your army! You can't see us all in person, but close your eyes, & imagine the waves of the ocean roaring....that's your army carrying you through the ebbs & flows, our love & prayers for all of you. ♡♡♡
Thank you for the update on Ray. My prayers are with you all always. I love this video. Your positivity and outlook is exactly what Ray needs. You are amazing.
So good that you were able to give an update. Hope you and your girls and Ray can feel all the hugs and prayers from everyone.
I'm a cancer survivor and you brought back memories. In the beginning, every appointment was weeks away. I was a wreck! I wanted treatments to begin immediately! It doesn't work that way. Every day seems like eternity! Appreciate every day you have. Marie ♥️
Kelly, just accept my hug. You’re amazing. You’re amazing for Ray❤
You’re Beautiful! Ray and your family are in our family’s prayers. XO
