I’m really sorry to hear this Ray.
Prayers for Cris to receive the peace she deserves and prayers to you and all your family, and especially to you, Ray.
Last month Cris’ kidney function actually went up a bit, from 13% to 14%. She had labs done again last week, and her kidney function is still holding steady at 14%. Also since she’s been getting the injections for the anemia, her energy level is much, much better. So things are looking a lot less grim, at least for now. Back in September it looked like she might only have a few months left.
Another bit of good news… I’ve been having some issues with an irregular heart beat since April, but it’s finally getting under control. I don’t have to see the cardiologist again for another six months.

What Eric said, Ray.
You’ve shared so much joy and inspiration with us here over the years, thanks for sharing your burdens as well.
Helps us pray for you guys, which is a form of contribution we can actually perform wherever we are.
I still want to get out there to see your layout though, and see with my own eyes that you weren’t just photoshopping all those interior model details.

Ok Ray …the truth…how many drones do you own as I have none!

Thanks! I spend a lot of time picking out the music, making sure it has the right “mood” to suit the video, and then more time is spent editing the clips to fit the rhythm.
Rooster, I have two drones. One that I use most of the time, and a second to use as a backup if anything happens to the first one.
One more new video…

Great video once again, Ray. I could sit and watch these for hours. Thanks for all the time you put into them and thanks for sharing.

My wife Cris has been in end stage kidney failure since the middle of 2021. Most of last year her kidney function was holding steady at 12% but has recently dropped to 8%. She is starting on hospice this week.
Tragic to hear, Ray. Thoughts are with you. Hang in there!
Please allow us to add our virtual arms the next time you hug Cris.
