Good evening.

It was a gorgeous day today. Cold, cloudy, and beautiful. We had a fire in the fireplace all day. It is so cozy in the house, while it is wintry outside. But, it is supposed to get into the low 70's later in the week. Gotta love Northern Nevada!!

David had a pretty good day. He did school, as usual. He had two elluminate classes today~~one in English and one in Math. He is getting caught up. He will get 'behind' again when he has surgery; but that can't be helped. He will do school as he is recovering, if he feels like it. I am NOT going to push it. He will be recovering from a very major surgery, for crying out loud! So we will play it all by ear.

I am getting so frustrated with this stupid cancer! We found out another one of our osteo family members had scans today; didn't get such good news. This cancer is so persistent and deadly! Please pray for our children!

We have been chatting with our osteo family via our support group website; and it is so interesting how things are the same for most of us. The abandoned friends, family, and co-workers. Not all of us have been abandoned by all the above, but we all have been abandoned by some. It is very interesting. Our children can't run away from what's going on, but the people who aren't involved do. You would think that friends and family would be there for you no matter what, wouldn't you? But I have found that not to be true. Very sad. Please pray for our osteo family members, especially the children, as they (we) all deal with the feelings of abandonment. Like I have said before, I guess it just gets too hard for people to stick around. The novelty wears off, and they are tired of the day-to-day c**p that we deal with. They only want to hear when things are going good. They don't REALLY care enough to stick around when things aren't going so good. Too bad our children can't just 'check out' like the friends/family/etc. do. You truly do find out who your friends are; and those who truly love your child. And those who truly love you, too! But we have all decided that the ones who abandon us are the true losers! They miss the opportunity of watching our children battle this cancer with courage, bravery, and determination! And from mere children!!! I am so proud of all of our osteo children. They are our families. They rejoice with us, weep with us, and are there for us~~~always! I want to say 'Thank you' to my osteo family members. And all my 'C' family members; it doesn't have to be just osteo.

Please continue to pray for our 'special request.' Bryon got an email from the lawyer, and things are moving. Thank you.

I need to go make David a milkshake. Thank you for checking in on David and the Koury Klan. Have a good evening. God bless you. We love you.
