Despite our world being turned upside down right now, life still continues to go on.
Elektra is slowly growing out of her allergies, (although it looks like she will most likely never grow out of her allergy to nuts).
Ray is still working and enjoying life in the Navy. He has also been working his butt off at the gym and has lost a lot of weight. Keep up the good work honey!
As for me, I am surprisingly doing very well. My liver numbers are awesome! And I have not had a single sickle cell crisis, knock on wood! August 8th will mark my 1 year anniversary of having a new liver. Ray is already asking me what I want to do to celebrate the event. Well, if things work out the way we are praying it will, hopefully I can celebrate it with family and friends in Phoenix. (Yes, I know, any excuse for a party!)
I continue to work on my Etsy store and website. Ray continues to amaze me everyday. And we both are growing stronger and together in our faith.
Elektra is still with Corinna right now, but we are doing what we can to get her placed with family in Arizona and allow Corinna to return home to her family in Florida.
For those of you who have not seen Elektra in a while, she is talking more like a big girl and getting bigger everyday. Even though she looks more like me, her personality is all Ray! We miss her so much. The house feels very lonely without the sounds of children in it. Even though this is our house, without our kids it just doesn't feel much like a home anymore.
We will get through this. Despite the pain our family is being put through. Despite the grief we still feel over the loss of our son. Despite the agony of having our daughter- now our only living child- taken away from us and having to fight to win her back. Despite Satan laughing in our face. We take comfort in knowing that, 'This To Shall Pass'. We will be a family again. We will get through this. And life will go on.
