Good evening.
I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving. We had a beautiful, quiet one. We did have a lot to be thankful for. David is still alive, his lungs are stable, and we have precious Elena. It was a great day. We were with the most important people to us. We had yummy food, including all the cookies Rachel made! We tried new recipes and we had fun. It was a great day.
Speaking of David's lungs, we found out why Renown freaked when they did the chest CT scan and saw his lungs. Connie always gives me the reports, so when I asked her for the report from Renown she said, and I quote, "I was afraid to give this one to you." You see, Oakland Children's is used to seeing David's lungs. They pretty much look for one thing, and that is cancer. Renown didn't know what they were looking for and they couldn't believe what they saw. The report said he has "hyperexpanded emphysematous lungs"~~~basically the lungs of someone with emphysema. They weren't expecting to see such 'damaged' lungs in a child. Oakland sees the same lungs, they are just more concerned with the cancer; which is stable!! Yay! But the report from Renown explained to us why he has no stamina, and why he gets fatigued so easily. His lungs are not in the best of shape! At least we have some answers about that. And the best news of all is the fact that the nodules in his lungs are stable! Thank you so much for all your prayers. I just wanted to let you know the information we found out.
Thanks for visiting and checking in on David and the Koury Klan. Have a good evening. God bless you all. We love you. {{hugs}}

In almost all cases, childhood cancers arise from non-inherited mutations (or changes) in the genes of growing cells. As these errors occur randomly and unpredictably, there is currently no effective way to predict or prevent them.
