Good evening.

It has been a rather busy last couple of days. David had PT on Monday, and it was a difficult day for him. Linda said he was much tighter, and he was in more pain trying to get his leg straight. She also noticed that he was limping more. Don't really know what that is all about. He is doing his extra walking that Connie ordered, so maybe that is factoring into it. The other night we went for a walk, and David took his dog, I took the tiny dog, and Bryon took the German Shepherd. It was fun, and comical! The 3-pound chihuahua I had was walking so fast to keep up with all of us that David said his legs were just a blur! It was pretty funny. But it was a nice, cold walk. So David is doing extra work, so that could be why he is more tired and having a harder time at PT. But, as usual, he just does what he is told. I am so proud of him.

His eating is still going good. The 1/2 dose of Megace is still working, but I can tell it doesn't work as well as a full dose! But he is still eating good. Please continue to pray that he does continue to eat. Thanks!

Bryon and I went over the CDs of David's CT scans, and we discovered the nodule appeared in the July scans. We know they didn't say anything right away because it could have been anything; infection, a lung met, scar tissue, etc. So they needed to 'watch it' and see what it does. Well, it is bone, but it is stable. But, the flip-side of that is, that means that David had a recurrence. So that is one of the reasons we are totally praising God that the nodules are stable. But, like I said from the beginning, I am not going to put God in a box. The greater the odds of David not surviving, the bigger the miracle!!! And since he is a walking miracle right now, we are praising God!! We were told that a recurrence within the first 5 years is not survivable~~~but we know of a few kids who are surviving. Man is into the 'numbers,' God isn't!! So stay tuned!

Thank you for checking in on David. Thank you for your support. Thank you for your prayers. God bless you all. We love you.
