THURSDAY, AUGUST 11, 2011

Good evening.

Thank you for your prayers, David's leg feels much better. He thinks he just pulled the little muscle he has left in that upper thigh. He has no lower quad muscle, as you all know, he just has a bit of upper quad, and he thinks he pulled it. After being on crutches for a few days, his leg feels better. Thank you again for praying. Also, his knee looks great! That area is pretty much healed up. Yay!

We had a very busy weekend. We had a garage sale on Saturday morning~~~it went ok. Not great, but not too bad. We were able to get rid of some stuff. Other stuff we donated. Rachel sold some stuff and made $56!! So she did very well. We had to get up at 5:30 so we could get the stuff out there early; garage sale shoppers sure come early!! We closed up around 1:30 (I think) because we had to drive down to Gardnerville so David could walk the survivor lap for Relay for Life. He was so tired, and hot, that he wasn't feeling well. But he sucked it up and did it, like he always does. It wasn't that hot, but anything over 80 and he melts! Poor kid. Chemo really messed with his thermostat!! So we spent a bit of time at the Relay, then we came home. Then we had church on Sunday, and grocery shopping; since we couldn't do it on Saturday. Then Bryon and I went with some friends to get some frozen yogurt (yumm-o) early Sunday evening. We were so exhausted by Sunday night!! We will be having another garage sale, just don't know when. There are closets we haven't gone through yet. Hopefully it won't be such an exhausting weekend next time.

Please pray for David. He will be taking his driving permit test tomorrow. He has just NOT been interested in driving until recently. We didn't believe in pushing him; he is nervous because it is his right leg that has issues!! Please pray that he passes the test, then we can get him out learning to drive. Thanks for the prayers.

We got an EOB (Estimate of Benefits) from our insurance company on a claim they denied. They said they need more information on the 'accident' that caused this claim. Are they kidding me?!?!? Really? Cancer is an accident? Well, I guess it isn't an 'on purpose,' is it? Anyway, this claim was for $123,976.75!! This was for David's surgery in June. We are awaiting the phone call that asks the questions they want answered. This is not the first time they have pulled a stunt like this. Back when David was in treatment they denied a claim because David's hospital stay exceeded his pre-authorized limit. That is because they pre-approved a four day stay for a 5 day chemo infusion!! 5 day infusion means at LEAST 6 days in the hospital~~~what with all the hydration and all. *sigh* We know they will pay the bill, they just want to add stress to our lives!!

Well, that is about it for now. Please continue to keep the Koury family in your prayers. Thank you for visiting and checking in on David and the Koury Klan. Have a good evening. God bless you all. We love you.

Detecting childhood cancers at an early stage, when the disease would react more favorably to treatment, is extremely difficult.
