Good morning. I have a few minutes to update before we get ready to leave (while Emilee is sleeping).

We have several inches of snow outside!! It is a beautiful winter wonderland!! It is sunny (and cold~~34*{but feels like 24*}) and the snow will be around for awhile!! YAY!! We are having a fantastic winter this year. So much better than last year.

David is doing ok in PT. He added the elliptical to his routine today. Linda noticed he isn't limping as bad, so that is good. She also noticed he isn't as tight. Right after surgery his straight still had an 8* bend; now he is down to 3.4*! So he is getting straighter. His extension is still pretty bad, tho. But, like I said before, without those lower quad muscles he just doesn't have the strength. You never know what muscles you use until you no longer have them. Nor do you know which muscles do what! He will never be the way he was, but he will be the best that he is! (I hope that makes sense) He is trying hard. Please continue to pray that he gets stronger. Thanks.

Emilee is getting used to being here. She is still rather clingy to me (but that is fine with me!) but she is doing better. She came with us to PT and she just sat in the stroller and watched all the activity going on around her. She is such a sweetie.

Well, I gotta run. Thank you for all the anniversary wishes. And thank you, Christine and Emery, for the thoughtful gift. We are very thankful for this time to get away; we need it VERY badly! You all have a great weekend. We will NOT be bringing our laptops, so I won't be updating until we get home. Thank you for checking in on David and the Koury Klan. God bless you all. We love you.
