Dear Family: January
08, 2012
I need to let you know what has been happening with Grandpa
Ray. Grandpa Ray is having medical
issues. During the Christmas holidays he had a slight stroke. He went in to the doctor where they ran tests
and in the process found a cancer growth in his nasal passage that may kill
him. He is in the process of fighting the cancer. This has been devastating news to him and to
us.
Right now he is exploring treatment options and is doing everything
he can to fight this.
It was a miracle that they found the cancer; if it hadn’t
been for the stroke he had, he never would have gone to the doctor, so the
stroke has been a blessing in disguise. (The stroke only affected his speech
somewhat; there were no other effects that they could see.)
Grandpa needs our prayers, so if you could include him in
your prayers, that would be appreciated.
The Rays are fasting today (it is their fast Sunday) and you are welcome
to join in that fast. we are fasting for him next Sunday (our fast Sunday) and
will continue to pray for him.
Uniting as a family in prayer can bring miracles.
love you all, mom

Good morning
Mom. I'm so sorry to hear about grandpa.
Luckily I checked my junk mail box. I cannot find a way to get my email
to stop sending emails I want into the junk box.
Lately my
kids are driving me crazy. I keep thinking I have little patience for them. But
they've been sick for like 4 days now. Diarrhea and rashes on their bottoms.
Baby Ty especially. He's had it worse. I change his diaper and then he goes again...and
so his rash doesn't have time to get better.
Sterling is
leaving on a 3 week TDY work trip next week. So hopefully I will find my
patience before he leaves. Hopefully I will get some time away from the kids
before he goes.
Other than
that we are doing great. We'll keep grandpa in our prayers.
Love, Tiffany

I m so sorry
to hear about your sick kids. that is really hard to deal with.
I hope you
are giving them plenty of fluids because when kids have diarrhea like that they
get dehydrated. Pedialyte is good to
give them to keep them from getting dehydrated.
another thing
is the amount of diapers you go thru when babies have diarrhea. when my kids
were going thru lots of diapers I bought diaper liners to put in them because I
couldn’t afford to use up so many diapers. the diaper liners really helped me
not go thru so many diapers– especially
when they were pooping every 5 minutes from diarrhea.
the best
thing for diaper rash is bag balm but I don’t know if you have any. It worked
better for me than diaper rash medicine.
I used baby powder a lot too.
as far as
going crazy – sometimes we have to lower our expectations. what you expect to get done. how much sleep
you expect to get. right now if all you
do is take care of them and eat and sleep, then you are accomplishing a
lot. don’t expect to do anything else.
when they get better, you can get some of yourself back.
I think the
thought of Sterling being gone for 3 weeks is starting to make you panic. don’t worry about tomorrow. just get thru
today.Smile
good
luck! love mom
