Good evening. This will be quick, we need to go to bed. We will have to get up around 4:30 so we can be out the door by 5:30.

David didn't do too well in PT today. He was tired, and stiff and sore. He didn't bend or straighten as good as he has in the past. Linda tried to get the bend and straightening, but he just couldn't do it. But, the trooper that he is, he tried. *sigh* So today was not a good day, PT wise.

His orthodontist appointment went well, though. Dr. D'Ascoli is quite pleased with how straight David's teeth are. We hope to get the braces off soon; we'll see.

Please pray for us tomorrow and Friday. I am really nervous about the scans on Friday. I think that is because so many of our osteo children are struggling right now. David looks good; but that just doesn't mean anything with osteo. Looks are VERY deceiving with this stupid cancer. I just covet your prayers. Thank you for being there for us, no matter what. Thank you for your prayers.

Thank you for all the entries in the guestbook. I read them to David~~he loves the jokes! It gets a smile on his face every morning. Thank you.

Well, gotta go finish packing so we can pack the car tonight. You all have a good night. I will try to update tomorrow; it all depends on the room we get at the Family House. But I will update as soon as I can. God bless you all. We love you. (Madelynn; where in Carson City does your sister live?)

Attempts to detect childhood cancers at an earlier stage, when the disease would react more favorably to treatment, have largely failed. Young patients often have a more advanced stage of cancer when first diagnosed. (Approximately 20% of adults with cancer show evidence the disease has spread, yet almost 80% of children show that the cancer has spread to distant sites at the time of diagnosis)
