Good morning. 

Quick update~~~sorry I forgot to post this earlier, been very busy. 

David is having his hydrogen breath test this morning at 8:30. We have to check in at 8:15. Please pray that we get some answers from this test. We need to know why he has no appetite, poor weight gain, frequent nausea, etc. Please pray that the test goes well. Also, please pray for me as he is taking this test. He wants me there, and I have Elena, and it is a 3-4 hour test. Basically he drinks this medicine and then he blows into something (I'm not sure what) to measure hydrogen in his breath. He has to blow into the thing every 15 minutes for 3-4 hours. Please pray that Elena can handle being there for that long. I will bring my laptop and some movies for her, so hopefully that will work. Thank you so much for your prayers!! 

I will let you know what we find out as soon as I can. God bless you guys! Thanks!

Good evening. 

David is getting very excited; he is going camping with his Bible study group on Wednesday! He will meet at the church at 2pm on Wednesday, and return on Friday around noon. He has been waiting for this for a long time! He really enjoys camping, in case you didn't know that.  :) Please pray he has a good time, and he stays safe. This year he won't be going a few weeks after surgery, as in previous years. So he should have more fun than before!! Yay! 

We have another camping trip planned, just for me and David. We will leave on August 24th, and come home Sept. 2. The rest of the family will be there on the weekends, but just David and I from August 27-30. We both can't wait for that camping trip! It will be a lot of fun! 

I have to get David's prescription filled on Friday; he will have the hydrogen breath test on Monday. We can't wait for that test to be over. We are praying we find some answers for his issues. We are actually praying that the errant bacteria is the answer!! If not......we don't know where to go from there! Please pray that we get some answers!! Thanks. 

Otherwise, David is doing okay. His leg does hurt sometimes, but we know that is something he will deal with for the rest of his life!! He just has to be careful to not overdo it. He is loving driving. He loves the freedom he has now. He just needs to get a job and get a car!! He usually uses my car, but I don't mind. But it would be great for him to have his own car. 

That is about it for now; or at least all I can think of! I am pretty tired and it is late. Thank you for visiting and checking in on David and the Koury Klan. Have a good day tomorrow. God bless you all. We love you.

Happy 4th!!

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!! 

Good evening. I hope everyone had a great July 4th! Bryon is up in Sparks with David at his traditional Fourth of July fireworks show! It's called 'Star Spangled Sparks' and they go every year. It is good bonding father/son time! And they always stop and get a Slurpee on the way home! It is a bit windy, so hopefully they won't cancel it. I know, it's always windy here...... 

We had such a fantastic time camping!! It was so much fun. Elena was such a joy. She got plenty dirty, as she was supposed to do :)  We really had a blast. We froze the first few days, the nights were in the 30's, (I'm really glad the trailer has such a good heater) but then it warmed up and was really nice. We didn't want to come home, we would have gladly stayed another week; or more! But I did need to come home and do laundry! Bryon and I finally got the trailer cleaned out today. I am still washing sleeping bags, however. But the inside of the trailer is clean, swept, and mopped. Bryon even cleaned the seat cushions!! We can't believe the week we were so looking forward to is over! Bummer. But we will be going again this summer! We just have to figure out the best time to go. Poor Elena did come home with some bumps, bruises, cuts, and scrapes.....but I guess that was to be expected from a 17-month-old!! I just had so much fun with her and David and Jennifer. 

David's hydrogen breath test has been rescheduled for July 30th. Grrrr. We just want this over with! Poor kid. Please pray that it will NOT be rescheduled again! Thanks. 

The picture I posted on this post is of Lake Davis. Isn't it beautiful? Now you know why we love it there and want to go back. Our campsite was about 90 seconds walking distance from the lake, and we could see the lake from our campsite. 

That is about it for now. Thank you for checking up on David and the Koury Klan. Please keep David in your prayers as we await, again, the hydrogen breath test. God bless you all. We love you.
