Good evening. It was a beautiful day today. Still cold, but clear and beautiful.

David did well in the pool today. Lu Ann said he is doing better. He is getting stronger, and we are so happy about that. We really want to make sure his leg gets really strong before his next lengthening. The better he gets before surgery, the better he will be after. So we really want to get him as good as we can. He is getting there, because he tries so hard. He does everything he is asked to do; always has. He is very compliant.

More sad news; another osteo warrior lost his battle with this ugly monster. I HATE THIS CANCER!! This has been a horrible past few months! Here is his website: www.caringbridge.org/visit/loganboyd1. We are all so sick of watching these children die! I have said it before, but I think it bears repeating. They need more funding for Childhood Cancer Research! They have so much funding for alot of other cancers; breast cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, etc. These are primarily adult cancers. Well, they won't need to worry about these cancers if they don't fund childhood cancer!! There won't be enough adults with these cancers~~~they let them die as children!! I am not saying that children who survive cancer will get these other cancers in adulthood; I am saying there won't be many adults!! Maybe that doesn't make sense, but I know what I feel, I just have a hard time putting it into words. Please pray for Logan's family. Thanks.

On that note, Jennifer is raising money for childhood cancer research. Go to www.stbaldricks.org and click on 'find a participant' and type in Jennifer Koury as a shavee. Yes, she is shaving her head in honor of her brother. Is that special, or what? It is only hair, and it will grow back. If you feel led to, please donate in her name. All the money goes to help find a cure for childhood cancer!Thank you in advance if you donate to her (well, not her exactly.....).

David has PT again tomorrow. Please pray he does well. Thank you.

Well, I am tired; it has been a loooong day. Have a good day tomorrow. Thank you for visiting. God bless you all. We love you.
