Good evening.

Sorry I haven't posted for awhile, it has been rather busy. Bryon was gone from Monday through Wednesday for work. He pretty much went all over the state of Nevada~~~from Carson City to Elko to Las Vegas and back again. All in three days! So I was a single mom for a few days. No biggie, I have been a single mom a LOT in our marriage. He used to travel a lot, now he doesn't so much. Every now and then he has a class he has to go to, or something, but not that often. Anyway, he is home now and things are going as usual.

David went to Bible Study tonight, as usual on Thursday, and loved it, as usual. They tell us that they are having the same battle we deal with every day. They serve dinner to the kids (which is really sweet) but David won't eat!! Last week he did eat an enchilada, but this week he ate NOTHING!! They tell us they beg, plead, 'threaten', bribe, etc, him to eat. . . . . no go! Today he wouldn't eat breakfast; other than a piece of toast! It isn't that he isn't hungry, just nothing sounds good to him; not much tastes good to him anymore. We threaten the Megace, which he absolutely hates, but all the Megace does is make him hungry. He does get hungry, just doesn't want to eat. So the Megace really won't help. He needs new taste buds! That blasted chemo really did a number on him. They warned us that this could happen, I was just hoping that it wouldn't.*sigh* It is a battle that we will keep fighting as long as we have to. Poor kid. Please pray that he is able to eat better. Thanks.

Sara came through her surgery ok, she is home. She is in some pain, and she is nauseous. It is such a balancing act with pain meds and eating and nausea. She also has another 'mass' on her upper thigh, near the sight of her original tumor. She had a biopsy on it, don't know the results of that yet. Please pray for her. We all know this can happen, it just sucks when it does. Pray that she can recover and heal from this latest development, and that she can once again be cancer free! Thank you so much for your prayers.

We will be busy tomorrow. We need to shampoo carpets, mop floors, and do some real good cleaning because on Saturday we are having a baby shower for Lucy at our house! We are so excited. It is getting close. She is due in just over 3 months!! Three months and 2 days from tomorrow. The time has been going so fast. I can't wait to meet that little person growing in her body. We have been waiting so long for this. The shower will be fun, I am sure. It is supposed to be cold, so we are having soups, bread, hot cider, coffee, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin squares, apple pie, punch, nice belly-warming 'comfort food.' Can't wait! I know it will be fun.

Tomorrow we are also going to vote, shop, and get flu shots. Oh, and try to get rid of the last two kittens at the pound. Please pray that we are able to get rid of them. We cannot have them here anymore. I want my spare room. The kittens are 3 1/2 months old, and we cannot afford to give them all their shots and whatever. If we can give them to the pound that would take the burden off us. Please pray that the pound will take them!! Thanks.

Well, that is all that is happening around here. Thank you for all your prayers. Thank you for checking in on David and the Koury Klan. Thank you for your support. God bless you all. We love you. {{hugs}}
