Good evening.

It has been a beautiful, cold day here today. Snow is in the forecast;
along with a low temp. of 7! Yep, you read that correctly, 7 degrees.
Thank you again, LifePoint, for all our firewood!! We are very cozy in the
house. David is so excited for the cold and snow.

David is doing ok with his eating. Not great, but ok. He ate most of his
breakfast, about 3/4 of lunch, and 3 leftover enchiladas for dinner. So
not too bad, for him. He is trying so hard, I feel so bad for him. The
more we remind him of how important it is that he eats, the more teary-
eyed and nauseous he gets! Just talking about food makes him nauseous. So
it is a real balancing act with him; saying enough without saying too
much. *sigh* Donna, David's Megace is a liquid. He says it tastes
horrible, and doesn't want to take it. So that is a semi battle we fight,
too. He knows he has to take it, but hates it. It is all such a mind game.
I am really tired of playing this game. This whole thing just really
sucks! I will play the game, I will fight tooth-and-nail to get my son
healthy. I will do whatever it takes. To say 'it's not fair' would be such
an understatement. Please continue to keep him in your prayers. Thank you.

We went to the Physical Therapy office today to set up David's new
schedule. He wants to get stronger, but really doesn't want to go to PT
again. But we are working on getting his leg stronger, we aren't worrying
so much about range of motion. We don't want to break another implant! So
we go bright and early Monday morning. The weeks are going to go by faster
now; with us being so busy! Christmas is going to seem to come so much
faster with us being busier. 3 days a week of PT; one of those days in the
pool! He really does like being in the pool. So that will be good.

Thank you for checking in on David and the Koury Klan. Thank you for all
the prayers. Have a good evening. God bless you all. We love you.
