Good evening.

Well, the weather forecast for us was 4"-6" of snow by this morning. They were WRONG! Very wrong! We woke up to 16", and it snowed pretty much all day. The snow all day was light, but steady. We are living in a beautiful winter wonderland!! Bryon, Jennifer, and Rachel all got sent home from work. All the schools were closed. I took David to PT; and my Honda Pilot did GREAT!! I have newish tires (about 7 months old); and they are beefy tires. I didn't slip or skid once! My tires got great traction. I just locked it into 4-wheel-drive, and drove slow and steady. It was such a beautiful day! I posted some pictures of our house this morning. Our low for tonight is predicted to be 0*!! Just a bit chilly, wouldn't you say? Please pray that our wood lasts. We are running really low, and Alan is not here to deliver some more. Please, please pray that we don't run out. Thanks.

David did pretty well in PT today. He didn't want to go, but he went and did his best. Linda was very surprised at how well he did on the balance board. His bend is 105*, so we are very happy with that. We aren't going to worry about getting it better at this point. Dr. O said he would be happy with 90*, so David is fine where he is at. Linda said that 105* is good for riding a bike, which David did. He got very tired, but he did good.

David also ate pretty good today, too. For breakfast he had a piece of toast. For lunch he had some nachos with guacamole. For dinner he had some turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce. He actually had a 2nd helping of turkey!! He said today was a perfect day for chili, but I said 'sorry, I am making a turkey breast' and he was happy with that! So he did pretty good today. Thank you for your continued prayers in that category.

He said his leg is a bit stiff, more so than usual. I know it is because of the PT, but he will get used to it again. He has PT in the pool on Thursday. It is good to get him back in the groove of PT again. It is amazing how fast the muscles atrophy! His knee buckles on him quite a bit again. We can't wait until that stops; when his quads are stronger.

Well, that is about it for today. Thank you for visiting and checking in on David and the Koury Klan. Please remember to pray for our firewood situation. Please pray for all the families who have lost their children this year. As we all prepare for Christmas, these families have to prepare for a Christmas without their precious children. I am sure this is going to be a very difficult time. Thank you. Have a good evening. God bless you all. We love you.
