Good evening.

Yesterday was a very long day. We left our house around 8:15am. We stopped
at Subway in Fairfield for lunch (thank you for the gift card, Noreen). We
arrived in San Francisco around 1:00pm, or so, I think. We checked in at
Dr. O's office around 1:20 for David's appointment; which was scheduled
for 1:40. Then we went and got his leg xrayed. Then we waited. We got
called into the room around 3:00. Then we waited some more. Then they came
around 4:00 and took out David's staples. Then we waited for Dr. O. He
finally came in and still laughs at the video of David doing his 'trick'
with his broken implant. So I emailed him the video, plus the pictures
that I have added here. He wants to see David back in 3 months; so we will
try to get his scans scheduled for the same time, well, the next day; so
we only have to make one trip to the Bay Area. Then we left there and went
over to the hospital to see Sara. I told you about Sara several months
ago. She was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in June, and she is from Fallon,
NV. That is about an hour east of us. Anyway, I have been wanting to meet
her, we just never seem to be in SF at the same time. Well, we got to meet
her, her dad, and her sister. David couldn't go in the room because he is
only 15; and no one under 16 is allowed to visit because of Swine Flu. So
he had to wait by the elevators for us. It was just so fantastic to
finally see her. Please keep her in your prayers. She hopes to go home on
Monday. She has a thoracotomy scheduled for 12/14; please remember to pray
for her. Thanks. Then we left SF about 5:30, I think. We drove through
dinner, didn't even stop to eat, and we got home a little after 10:30pm!
It was a very long day. But it was a really good day. David got his
staples out, and we met Sara. I am just glad the day is over. Whew. Busy
day. So today has been a 'catch-up' day.

Today has been a gorgeous day! It was SUPER windy and COLD today!! Then,
it snowed! Yay! It didn't stick, unfortunately, but it was still a
beautiful day. It is now just wet and cold, but I love it. We have a nice
fire in the wood-burning stove (had a fire all day), I made the best chili
in the world for dinner, and we are all just toasty and comfy in the
house. So, that is the news of today.

Tomorrow Rachel and I are going to do some baking. Since we are going to
be home for Thanksgiving, I need to do some baking. David wants fudge, so
we will make him fudge! It is nice and fattening! Then we will make some
cranberry bread and some kind of cookies~~I hope Rachel has some ideas! I
think I have the ingredients on hand for some basic sugar
cookies.......we'll see.

Well, that is about it for now. Thank you for visiting and checking in on
David and the Koury Klan. Have a good night. God bless you all. We love
you.
