Good evening.

Things have been rather busy around here. Sunday was Jeremy's birthday. I can't believe I have a 29-year-old child! YIKES! When did that happen? Jeremy and Lucy came over for lunch on Sunday after church. Jeremy wanted barbecued bacon wrapped flank steak to eat. So we had that, baked potatoes, green beans, and salad for lunch/dinner. By the time we ate, it was a late lunch, early dinner. And it was yummy. Then he wanted chocolate cake with chocolate frosting for his birthday cake. And he wanted the Tillamook Mudslide ice cream; both my boys love that ice cream. Good thing Bryon and I ran to Reno to go to WinCo to get some more ice cream on Saturday! David was out, so I bought all WinCo had~~~4 containers! It was a good day. Then yesterday everyone had the day off, so Bryon, Jennifer, and I went for a drive. We went to Squaw Valley. I was having a bit of 'cabin fever' and just wanted to get out! It was a beautiful day for a drive! So it was a rather busy weekend.

David is in a bit of pain right now. He and Rachel went for a walk yesterday, and I think he overdid it. His knee was very painful last night, he thinks he stepped wrong or something. Please pray that his knee feels better soon. He is not looking forward to our 'trip' on Friday. We are not going to San Francisco, but Pleasanton instead. Dr. O'Donnell has a clinic there on Fridays, and it is closer than S.F. And it saves us from having to drive in and to San Francisco! I don't know what the parking is like in Pleasanton; hopefully it will be cheaper than S.F.!! A couple of times we have been able to park on the street by UCSF, but usually we have to pay $20 to park! And, of course, the gas prices are skyrocketing again! So I hope it won't be too expensive to park on Friday! This appointment will be a full appointment! Besides the normal check-up, we will be getting that note from the Dr. about PE, and we will be scheduling David's 12th (and hopefully last) surgery. We need to have the revision done in June (after graduation) before the stupid insurance deductibles start again. We can't afford to wait until after July 1st. So, we will be scheduling his next surgery. Here is a prayer request way in advance. Please pray that we get the same room we had last time at the Family House in San Francisco; and please pray that David gets a room on 7Long! The last room we had, if you were around then, was on the 6th floor, and it was HORRIBLE!! He is supposed to be on 7Long, but sometimes there isn't a room. That's where he was for 2 weeks for his limb-salvage and emergency bowel resection, and that's where we want him to be for his next surgery. Thank you so much for your prayers.

This is the last week of the semester for David. He has one semester left of High School. I am trying not to 'freak out' about the PE credit, it is in God's very capable hands. I am sure it will work out. Thank you for your prayers for David.

Please continue to pray for Sara. I don't know how she is doing. Please pray for her family. Thank you so much.

Thank you for visiting and checking in on David and the Koury Klan. God bless you all. We love you.
