MONDAY, MARCH 19, 201

Good evening.

Our weather has been very bizarre lately! It snowed all weekend here. It was beautiful. And on Tuesday and Wednesday it is supposed to be in the mid 60's! That is northern Nevada for ya!! At least we know it will be beautiful for our drive to Oakland on Friday. David wants to drive home from Oakland, but Bryon will get him out of the bay area and then David will drive home from Fairfield. That means he will be driving through Sacramento! He only has about 2 hours left of his required 50 hours behind the wheel. He will be getting his license soon! He is a very good driver.

I am requesting prayer for us tomorrow. Bryon and I will be signing all the papers for the short sale on our house. Our mortgage company accepted the offer, and we will be signing the papers tomorrow. It is hard for us, and sad, but we know that God is still in control. We will be fine. God is working everything out, and it is exciting to see Him work. Wylene, don't worry, you will always know our address! David looks forward to your cards and word searches!! I would NEVER not let you know our address! :)

Please continue to pray for our trip on Friday. We have to leave at 3:30am......yikes!! We have to check in at 7:30 at Oakland Children's Hospital. Please pray for our safety, and for everything to go smoothly. We have an appointment on March 29th to discuss the results of these scans. We will probably be a bit stressed until we find out the results; and I will post as soon as we find out! I got an email today about a study done on Osteosarcoma from the American Cancer Society. It was a bit disconcerting to us. It said that after 20 years, the survivors of Osteo have a greater chance of a recurrence. Now this study was done on localized Osteo, not metastatic. They don't seem to do much research on metastatic Osteosarcoma; I wonder why? Anyway, it basically said that the further out the survivors get, the greater the chance of the cancer coming back. That is the opposite of the other cancers out there; after 5 or so years you are considered cured!! We are just praying that David stays stable! Thank you so much for your prayers.

Thank you for visiting and checking up on David and the Koury Klan. Thank you for your emotional and spiritual support, we really appreciate it! Have a good night. God bless you all. We love you.

“There has been a significant lack of progress during the last two decades in treating osteosarcoma,” said Ian Lewis, Professor of Cancer Studies at St. James University Hospital in Leeds, England
