Good evening.

We have had a busy couple of days. On Friday we went to the Physical
Therapy office to show off David's prosthesis. They couldn't believe how
heavy it was! They also told us that David can come in and 'work out'
because I know how to use everything; and they won't charge us. He can use
the bike, the elliptical, the shuttle, the leg press, things that he can
do by himself. So I am thinking about taking him in a couple times a week
so he can build up that leg again. His right calf has atrophied so bad it
isn't even funny! So, we will see.

We went to church tonight; it was very good. Today we went to Lowe's to
get some anti-freeze for the water lines in the trailer. We have to
winterize the trailer. We were really hoping to go camping again before
winter....didn't plan on David breaking his prosthesis! David got very
tired very quickly walking around Lowe's. Jennifer worked, so Rachel and I
wanted to look at all the Christmas stuff at Lowe's. But we had to cut it
short because David got too tired and worn out. Oh well. Poor kid.

His fever is pretty much gone! Yay! His knee is still very swollen. The
staples are bothering him, BIG TIME! I was advised to ask for dissolve-
able sutures; yeah, I forgot to ask for them! So David is suffering with
the staples. But he is a trooper. He just deals with it. They just pull
sometimes and they catch on his clothes. November 19th can't come fast
enough for him!!

Thank you for visiting and checking up on David and the Koury Klan. Thank
you for all your prayers. Thank you for being here for us. Have a good
evening. God bless you all. We love you.

"Fight For Life

Storms of life are strong enough

without cancer stepping in,

Came creeping through the back door

just counting on a win.

Engaging you in battle

we firmly stand our ground,

Armed with courage, faith and hope,

our child's life we surround..

This fight rages day and night

the will to survive is strong,

We will never surrender

In our lives you don't belong.

Prepare yourself to lose this time

our child's life you won't take,

This is a fight you will not win

Cancer, make no mistake!"

The above poem is my prayer. Please pray this with me! Thank you.
