Been quite awhile since this thread and again, thank each of you for your prayers. So much has happened.
Ray was taken back to Emergency in Feb. and stayed another week. Was back home another 2 weeks and then rushed back via EMT to Emergency Room again in March. He had to go back to Dr. again yesterday because he was just about out of it again. this time I got him there without EMT. Dr. said that the infection was starting again in his only Kidney. Hopefully infection caught in time to keep him out of the Hospital. So far, 3 months this year and so far I have had to call 911 each month for Ray to be taken and stay in Hospital a week each time. Please pray that April will be Hospital free.
Hugs to you all
Faye

Hi all, thank you so much for all your prayers. I know that is how I still have a little sanity left.
Ray had to go back into the Hospital April 2nd and was released April 9th. Another week. Strange, always 1 week. I'm wondering if Insurance has anything to do with the length of a hospital stay.
Ray came home Mon. and i think each day he is a little better. (how many times have I said that) I just pray his Kidney will continue improving instead of getting infected again. Several people have asked me if I had considered moving him to a different Hospital. If it happens again...well that has to be up to Ray.
I am so far behind on all the threads, but I can tell you I'm excited about what my semps are doing. The colors are awesome and they are actually producing. I am so excited. thank you Lynn for getting me hooked on these "Hens & Chicks" I love them.
Had to go to Lowe's for soil and just had to go looking, and yes I did find..I found this.
Won't let me upload the pic. shucks. will try again.

Ray will have surgery again tomorrow. (5th month, 5th trip to Hospital) Another place has come on his back in the scar from his Cancer Surgery. The Dr. thinks it is another dropped Cancer Cell. We're hopping this will be minor surgery and Ray will come home instead of being admitted to the Hospital.
Please pray! Thank you
Faye
