Good evening.

It has definitely warmed up here, our highs are in the high 30's-40ish.

David is doing ok. He still gets tired pretty easily. His stamina is just not there, still. He is eating pretty good~~~still forcing himself. He still has some better days eating wise, and some not so good days. I think because he gained the weight he is slowing down some. He just did what he did to avoid the feeding tube, and now he is not eating quite as much. But at least he is still eating, so we are happy. He is trying so hard to get caught up with school~~he could still really use your prayers in that area! He just gets so overwhelmed sometimes. He is such a smart kid, and he has always done so well in school before. *sigh* It is just so frustrating for him. He is trying so hard. He might have to do work over Christmas break! Poor guy. He just can't catch a break. If he didn't have to spend time with surgeries, scans, doctors appointments, PT, and just plain fatigue, he would be doing GREAT!! I guess in time.

Please continue to pray for our 'special request,' we haven't heard any news lately. I will let you know when we find something out.

Please pray for Sara, she is recovering from her thoracotomy; she had the surgery on Monday. Please pray that she can have the chest tube removed soon, and that she can go home soon. Thank you. Also, please remember to keep Holly in your prayers as she goes through her treatment for her recurred lymphoma. Thank you so much.

David did pretty good in PT yesterday, and he has PT again tomorrow. No pool this week, it is a long story. So he has PT tomorrow afternoon; not when he is at his best! He is tired by afternoon. Oh well. It is what it is.

Thank you for visiting and checking in on David and the Koury Klan. Thank you for being there for us. Thank you for the love, prayers, and support. God bless you all. We love you.

At a time when breakthroughs can be made in treating all childhood cancer and the quality of life for children with cancer improved, the continued decline in government funding will endanger the development of new clinical trials and threaten progress in curing childhood cancer.
