Sorry for the lack of update

Good evening. 

I guess Caring Bridge has changed and I can't do the things I could before.....I can't do different colors, fonts, or sizes of font. Oh well, I hope you can still read this tiny writing! 

We had David's xrays and labs done last month. Everything is still stable. We are really not happy with only xrays, but what can we do? We know that by the time an xray picks up a lung met, it is already large! We know, like I said before, that we can't radiate him forever, and CT scans have their own risks, but still. This still kinda scares us. But we know that David is in God's hands, and He will take care of him. We know that it doesn't mean David will not die, but it means that God is in control and will get us through whatever is in HIs will. Please continue to pray for David and the rest of us as we walk this unknown world. Remember, they have no protocol for him so we are just 'winging it' with him!! Thanks 

We are going camping this weekend and next week!! We will be going up on Friday and staying until July 28th. We are so excited! We have been waiting so long for this. We had to get the trailer fixed, the water line was busted, but now we are ready to go! We will also be taking Elena with us again! She loves to go camping, so she's so much fun! We are wondering what critter will be visiting us this year. Every year, when Bryon isn't with us, we have a critter come to our campsite. One year it was a bear, one year it was raccoons, and one year it was deer. It will be interesting to see what visits us this year! Please pray that we are safe during the time we are camping. Thank you. 

Well, we got the news on our new grandbaby.....we are having another granddaughter! We were hoping for a boy this time, but we are thrilled to be having another girl!! So far the delivery date will be November 26; scheduled C-section. So we will have MUCH to be thankful for on Thanksgiving!!! Please continue to pray for a safe pregnancy and delivery. And a healthy baby girl! So far, she is doing fantastic. And Lucy is feeling really good, which is wonderful. 

David is still working, He doesn't like it, of course, but he does like the money! He will not be getting paid while we are camping, because he is still with a temp agency. Please pray that his job can become permanent. Thanks. 

Well, that is about it for now. Thank you for all your prayers. Thanks for visiting and checking up on David and the Koury Klan. God bless you all. We love you. 

Kristi and the Koury Klan 

When many people hear childhood cancer, they may only think of St. Jude and TV ads with cancer kids with round faces (from steroids) and bald heads (from chemo). Yet while it is a leading childhood cancer research center, St. Jude doesn't work exclusively on cancer research and treats less than 5% of all children with cancer. Or perhaps you think of the American Cancer Society and its support for childhood cancer? Unfortunately, in 2008, with $1,078 million of public support; the ACS gave only $4.2 million to childhood cancer research, less than 1/2 a penny for each dollar of support.
