Good evening. It was another VERY windy day today. And it actually snowed a little bit this morning. And it was a cold, windy, beautiful day.

David had a good day. Basically he just did school and played. Tomorrow will be a busy day. Well, busy morning. He has PT in the pool; then when we get home he has to get dressed because he has an orthodontist appointment. By the time we get done with all that it will be lunch time. I told him I would take him out for sushi for lunch tomorrow. He is really looking forward to that! Crazy kid! I know a lot of kids don't like sushi, but he loves it! So we are gonna have lunch tomorrow at Kim Lee's. Then he will have schoolwork to do. It will be a long day for him, but that is ok.

He can't wait for his birthday. He told me he wants me to make spaghetti for his birthday lunch. It will be lunch because it will be after church. Spaghetti. Crazy kid. Of all the things he could ask for that I make that he likes, he chooses spaghetti. Well, if that is what he wants, that is what he gets. I just can't believe my baby is going to be 15!! This birthday will be better than last year's, that's for sure! Last year he was in the PICU recovering from his second thoracotomy. This year will be MUCH better. Yay!

Please pray that David has a good PT session tomorrow. And that he has a good orthodontist appointment. Thanks.

Please continue to pray for Mattie. I have found out that he has to have a thoracotomy to remove the cancer from his lungs. I am not sure when, but I will let you know. He doesn't know yet; so please pray for him when he hears the news. Please pray for his parents~~telling your child that he has to have lung surgery sucks! We know, we have been there. David's thoracotomies scared him more than the leg surgery. He kept saying, "but I need my lungs!" Please be in prayer for Mattie and his parents; Peter and Vicki. Thank you.

Thank you for checking in on David and the Koury Family. It is time to go cuddle David. Have a good night. Sleep tight. God bless you all. We love you.

The incidence of childhood cancer has increased EVERY year for the last 25 years! * In the past 25 years ONLY ONE new cancer drug has been approved for pediatric use. Since children can handle much more chemo than adults, most treatments are little more than mega doses of adult cancer chemotherapy treatments. The result of these high doses of chemo on children is a higher rate of secondary cancers. For reasons not fully known, teenagers experience the highest rate of secondary cancers as a result of the high dose chemotherapy treatments.
