Good evening.

Today was a busy day.....again. I got to continue benefiting from the birthday present from my daughters; my nail appointment was this morning. Then as soon as I got home I had to take David to PT. He had a rather rough morning at PT. I am thinking that 3 days in a row is just too much for him. He was very tired and exhausted trying to do all his exercises today. When we got home he was still pretty tired. He came home and took a shower and put his jammies back on. Then I did some more baking. Oh, the PT office loved all the goodies we brought. They were all pretty excited about David's biscotti. And they loved Rachel's fudge! Anyway, I did some more baking today. And the usual many loads of laundry. And the dishes. And keeping the fire going. And the taking care of David, which is my favorite part!! I couldn't make all the cranberry bread I want to make because I ran out of eggs. We will get some tomorrow and I will finish up the baking. Good thing I love to bake!

We heard from Oakland Children's Hospital today, David's scans are set for January 6, 2010; which happens to be Bryon's birthday. He told David that the best birthday present he could get from David would be clear scans. Please be in prayer for David to have clear scans! The scanxiety has set in!! We have to be in Oakland at 10:30 to check in; then David has the injection for the bone scan at 11am, the CT scan at 12pm, then the bone scan at 2pm. Connie wants us to come in for a check-up, too. Hopefully we will have some preliminary information about the scans that same day. It will be a long day, but at least we won't have to spend the night. Thank you in advance for the prayers!!

I want to thank everyone who took the time to write and encourage me! And I am taking it to heart, and I agree with you all. I need to just let it go, and let God take care of it. Those people are not worth my time and energy. Just sometimes I get so discouraged and depressed; and I just get overwhelmed with everything. Having a child with a life-threatening illness is just so taxing on a parent! I just wanted you all to know I appreciate and love you all. Thank you for getting me 'back on track' with what I need to be focusing on. Keep up the good work!

I am so thankful that we are able to enjoy our Christmas this year, home! We have the right priorities and the proper perspective. I have admitted before that I sooo took my children's health for granted. I don't anymore. I don't even take the ability to walk for granted anymore. My poor son has to think about every step he takes. He can't just walk 'mindlessly' like we do; he has to concentrate on every step. For those of you with children~~~give then an extra big hug tonight. Please cherish every day you have, you never know when it might be the last.

Well, that is about it for tonight. Thank you for visiting and checking in on David and the Koury Klan. God bless you. We love you.
