Good afternoon.

I have heard from the moms of Jenna and Sonya. They both had clear scans!! Thank you for praying for them. Now it is David's turn. We are praying for clear scans. We were told that to get him clear a year after treatment would be a BIG thing. Partly because they didn't expect him to make it past this past summer. Guess what? He is still here. Of course, that in essence means he is on 'borrowed time' but we don't dwell on that. I know that God is in control; but I am still a human. I don't have a crystal ball, I don't know the future. No human being does. I pray that David will be fine, but I don't KNOW that, NOBODY does!!! I just have to trust that I will be able to handle whatever comes my way.

On that note; please, please continue to pray for Sammie and her family. She is having a very rough time. Her parents are worn out. She doesn't have much time left. Here is her site, again. www.caringbridge.org/visit/sammiehartsfield. We have been told that death from Osteosarcoma is a very painful death. They are trying to get and keep her comfortable. Please pray for her. She is only 12. Thanks.

We will be leaving tomorrow at 3:30am. Please pray for a safe trip for us. We are going to try to go to bed early tonight~~~~we will see how that works out!! I have all the laundry done, just the packing left to do. It will be an overnighter. We don't really have the money to do that, but we can't drive home tomorrow after getting up so early and having a full day of testing for David. We have to check into Children's Hospital at 8:30; things start at 9:00. David has to have the injection for the bone scan (that wonderful radioactive junk), that takes a while to get through his system; while we are waiting he has the CT scan; and I am not sure when the audio and echo are. The audio is in a different part of the hospital (across the street in the clinic) so we will be all over the place. Please pray that David will be able to handle all the walking we will have to do. He is on crutches, of course, and he gets tired easy as it is. Walking on the crutches just takes a lot of his energy!! And with his lack of energy now........just please pray that he won't be too tired. Thank you.

I actually made 2 apple pies today~~~put them in the freezer. Gotta make some more, just not today. Need to use the apples before they go bad. The kids want me to make some more apple butter.......we'll see. It has been a busy day.

Please pray for Jennifer. She is sick. She stayed home from work this afternoon. It is a cold, and we are keeping her away from David! We can't have him getting sick; not with surgery looming!! Please pray that she feels better soon, and that David stays healthy. At least he already had his flu shot! We get ours next Friday.

Well, I will post tomorrow, if we aren't too tired. I will let you know how the tests went; and if we know anything. Please keep us in your prayers. Thank you so very much. Have a good evening and a good night. Thank you for checking in on David and the Koury Klan. God bless you all. We love you.
