Good evening.

I am finally able to update; I have a working computer again. I was unable to tolerate it the way it was, so I had a hard time updating. So, now I am able to update again! Yay!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Ours was busy, as usual! Yesterday we spent the whole day shopping and doing some cleaning. Today we went to church, then came home and had lunch, and finished up most of the cleaning. I am doing laundry as we speak. So it has been an extremely busy weekend.

Dav​id ate ok for lunch today. We bought some chipotle chicken kabobs at Costco, and he ate two of them. We also had baked potatoes (he didn't have one), salad (he didn't eat any), artichokes (he doesn't like them), and mixed berries (which he DID eat)! One of the things I like about this time of year is all the fruit and berries! We had blackberrie​s, raspberries​, strawberrie​s, and blueberries for lunch. David liked all but the raspberries​, so he just picked them out. So he did ok with his eating. He could do better, but at least he is eating something.

W​e have a 'game plan' with his supplements​, so far. He takes 1000mcg of vitamin B12 daily. It is a sublingual pill he puts under his tongue~~~no shots!! YAY!! His zinc is a homeopathic lozenge he takes daily. We will check his levels in 6 months to see where they are. Please pray that these supplements are effective in getting his levels where they need to be. Thanks. Connie said that Zinc deficiency will also affect taste; so maybe that is why he doesn't like to eat~~~~noth​ing tastes good! Poor kid. Thank you for your prayers.

We have to make a trip to San Francisco on Thursday. David has an appointment with his surgical oncologist. We have some questions for him; hopefully they will be answered favorably. We will also be planning David's next leg lengthening. I am sure we will schedule it for the end of June. That means that David will spend our week-long camping trip with staples in his leg, but that can't be helped. Then he will get the staples out after we get back, and we will schedule his next set of scans for the same time (only one trip to the Bay Area that way). We live in 3-month increments! And I am someone who has to know exactly what is going on, and what is going to happen when. Well, as much as possible, anyway. As we know with David, he is our curve-ball thrower; and we have learned to 'expect the unexpected' with him!!! We take it one day at a time, but still try to plan as much as possible! Please pray for our safe trip to UCSF on Thursday. Thanks.

Than​k you for visiting and checking in on David and the Koury Klan.Thank you for your prayers. God bless you all. We love you.
