Good evening.

Well, we made it to Oakland and back safely, thank you for your prayers. We left a little after 4am, and got there around 8am. We checked in, and waited for Christine to inject David with the radioactive dye. He was injected around 8:30, and then we waited for the chest CT scan. They called him back for the chest CT around 9. Then Christine told us to come back at 12 for the bone scan; or she would text me if she could get him in sooner. After the CT we went across the street to the oncology clinic to see Connie about his echo and oncology appointment. Well, Connie wasn't there, so no oncology appointment. Bryon talked to her, and she said we will just do the echo at the next set of scans in October. Then I talked to her, and she said we will have the oncology appointment in Reno on Thursday. So we went back across the street to the main hospital and went to the cafeteria to wait. We packed our lunch, so we ate around 11; just in case Christine called us early. We went to the nuclear med room at 12. Then Christine administered the bone scan. Then we left! We got home around 5! It was great to get home sooner than we thought we would!! It is cold and rainy here, but beautiful!! Oh, and Christine gave David a gift card to GameStop for graduation. She said it is also to help him as he recovers from surgery. She is so sweet!! We think the world of her. She clearly loves David. So, another set of scans done. We don't have any results of the scans, yet, we should know on Thursday. We really hate the wait, but what can we do? They have to be read by the radiologist, compared to previous scans, surgeon consulted, discussed with oncologists, etc. It takes time. I will let you know as soon as I do!!

Please pray for David, as always. He hasn't been feeling well these past few days. He said he has been nauseous for a few days, and he is not eating much (that's nothing new, I know). He can't get sick!! He graduates a week from today! I can't believe he has 4 more days of school. All four of my children will be High School graduates!!

Please pray that we get everything done. We have to do all the last minute stuff on Friday, payday! Please pray we are able to get everything done. Friday will be a VERY busy day. With all the shopping, decorating, pictures, etc. Please pray we can get it all done!!

Bryon got a call from the Family House in San Francisco, and we are all set for the week. We will be leaving here on the 12th, and we are reserved at the FH for the week. We don't know how long we will be there, but they tell us to plan for a week stay. Please continue to pray that David is placed on 7Long to recover. Thanks for all your prayers.

Thank you for visiting and checking up on David and the Koury Klan. Have a good rest of your weekend. God bless you all. We love you. {{hugs}}
