Good evening.

Thi​ngs have been going ok around here. David is doing ok, but he is still only eating because we make him eat. He has no appetite. He really doesn't want to start taking the Megace again, but we are getting real close to making him take it again. His excuse is, "I am eating," but I told him that is only because we make him! I want him to eat because he is hungry and wants to eat. We won't know if the zinc and/or B12 is working for another 4 months or so. One of the side effects of zinc deficiency is hair loss (just what David needs again), and he is able to pull his hair out right now. And what I mean by that (I now we can all pull our hair out, lol), is he just gives a gentle tug and he pulls his hair out~~~no pain! He said he can't even feel it! So that is worrisome to us. But we will just continue to give him his supplements and pray that they work! That is all we can do.

David is sad he didn't have Bible Study tonight. Hopefully they will have an activity soon. He really misses it already!

David is almost done with school. He has the rest of this week and next week, and that is it! He is doing good, with the exception of math. He is still struggling with it. I told him as long as he passes it, that is all that matters! He is doing very well in all his other classes. Please pray that he passes Math! Thank you.

We will be going to another Ace's baseball game this Saturday. We were given the tickets through Make-A-Wish​, and we are so thankful. We are very excited to go to the game. David is very excited! I am sure it will be a great game! We just hope they win!!!

Pleas​e continue to keep us in your prayers. We are still not sure about our house, but we are not feeling good about keeping it. It is what it is, and it is out of our hands. We cannot afford the $3000+ a month mortgage, and that is all there is to it. Either the bank will help us, or they won't. It is pretty cut and dried. I just can't believe that there are people out there who don't care about anything except the 'almighty dollar.' And I know we aren't alone. It breaks my heart when I hear of other members of our Osteo family who are in the same situation we are in. Medical expenses for a family with a child with a life-threat​ening illness are astronomica​l!!! Totally unbelievabl​e amounts of money that comes out of our pockets! When you figure the insurance company has spent over $1.5 million on David; you know our portion is huge. So basically it comes down to getting David the treatment, and surgeries, he needs; or paying mortgage~~~​~no brainer!! The strange thing is, we didn't have too much of a problem in the beginning. But then it all catches up with you! Anyway, please continue to pray for us. Thank you so much.

Well, that is about all that is happening around here. Bryon has to be at work at 4am tomorrow, so we are going to bed. Please pray that David has a good day at PT tomorrow~~~​pool therapy tomorrow. Thanks. Thank you for checking in on David and the Koury Klan. Have a good evening, and a blessed day tomorrow. God bless you all. We love you.
