Good evening.

Today was a VERY busy day. We spent the better part of the day in Gardnerville at the Relay For Life. David had the honor of being the youth survivor carrying part of the banner. He was extremely tired about halfway around the lap, but he sucked it up, as usual.
It was pretty hot earlier in the day, then a thunderstorm came in and cooled it off quite nicely. It didn't rain too hard, but it was quite windy! It was a very nice day, just extremely busy. David had a headache, the heat gets to him, but he had a great day overall. He didn't eat anything to speak of, but that is nothing new. We had a really great day. The leaders for the Bible study he goes to were so sweet to him. Thank you Dana, Meredith, and Sandy. You guys are the best. A mom just loves to see other people love her kids; and I love to see them love David. Thanks!

We leave tomorrow for Oakland. David wants to go to church, so we will be leaving immediately after church. Then we have to report to the hospital at 9:30am on Monday. David has the injection for the bone scan at 10am; CT scan at 11am; and bone scan at 1pm. It will be another long day in Oakland Children's Hospital.

I have a couple of prayer requests for you. One; we are losing another of our precious Osteo family members. Sam, who is only 9 years old, is on hospice. His cancer has spread throughout his body. Please pray for this family. Thanks. Two; there is a girl from our area who was just diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma~~~a cousin to Osteosarcoma. Ewing's is the other primary bone cancer. She will be admitted on Monday to Oakland Children's Hospital. Her stepmom works with my son, Jeremy. We hope to meet up with them on Monday at Children's. Her name is McKenna. Please keep her and her family in your prayers. Thank you.

Well, I am tired, it has been a very long day. Thank you for visiting and checking in on David. Please keep us in your prayers as we drive to Oakland tomorrow. Thank you for your prayers, love, and support. Have a good evening. God bless you all. We love you. {{hugs}}
