Good evening.

Thank you for the prayers. We are feeling much better. Now we just have the sinus congestion and cough, but it is getting better. Thankfully, nobody else got sick! Now I just hope Emilee doesn't get sick; we could pass this back and forth all winter!!

I have a prayer request about David's graduation. There might be a little 'glitch' in his credit situation. He technically doesn't have enough PE credits to graduate. He needs 120 hours of PT to take the place of PE for one year; he only has 96. The woman I am talking to about this said we will figure something out, but it still frustrates me. I mean, it is PE for crying out loud! It's not like it's math, or english, or something else. And it is also something he has NO control over. It isn't like he didn't study enough and flunked out, he is disabled and is not allowed to do PE!! I think it is so ridiculous for them to tell me NOW about the problem, not sooner!! Please pray that we get this figured out and fixed. Amanda said they will make sure he graduates, we just have to figure out where to go and how to get the required credits. David has worked soooo hard to get to this point, it would break my heart to have to tell him he can't graduate just because he had/has cancer!! Thanks.

David is doing very well with school. His teachers say they are proud of him, as we are, too. Unless you are here watching him, you have NO idea just how hard he works to keep on track. Like I have said before; that is hard for us. He is a child who school came easy to BC (Before Cancer), it is hard to see him have to work so hard now. But that just makes us that much more proud of him. We know that he knows what he has to do, and he is doing it. That shows a lot of maturity! I know adults who aren't willing to 'do whatever it takes' to get where they need to be. I am so very proud of my son. Please keep up the prayers for him. Thank you.

I told you before about Sara......please continue to pray for her family. Here is what her mom said most recently:
We are home. Sara is sleeping most of the time, and Woody and I are trying to get our bearings. Thoughts swirl constantly in my head, but I can't think of anything to say. Somewhere in between total denial and total panic is a path where we can walk this journey with God's grace. I think I speak for our whole family as I say we are prayerfully seeking that path. God please show us how to do this.

Basically, Sara is dying. She was sent home from UCSF with an oral chemo (not sure if it will work or not), pain meds, and oxygen. I cannot tell you how awful it is to read about a child that is dying (or has died) of the same cancer that is in your child's body. And when you have met the child, it makes it that much more personal. Please continue to pray for Sara and her family. Thank you.

No baby, yet! We are anxiously waiting!

Thank you for visiting and checking in on David and the Koury Klan. Thank you for all your prayers, they mean a lot. God bless you all. We love you. {{hugs}}
