The sign gave Steven a good laugh. The good news is that Steven does seem to be feeling better. He woke up yesterday and called the first waffle. He even ate a hot dog for lunch today. I seriously never thought I'd count "my kid ate a hot dog" amongst my blessings, but there you are.
Steven was nine years old when he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in February 2011. His knee was amputated in a procedure known as Van Ness Rotationplasty. He is determined to beat cancer.

A message from Addie and Andrew
Addie has memorized the words from a balloon that Steven got: Get well soon. She writes it everywhere--on the white board, with chalk on the sidewalk, with refrigerator magnets. This morning she decided to write it backwards, then Andrew saw it and had to add on:

Love this! "Get Well Soon" is an important thing to know how to spell around your house, backwards or forwards!
ReplyDeleteSteven eating a hot dog IS a great blessing.
Glad you're feeling better, Steven! Keep it up on the hotdogs!
ReplyDeletePost nice very.
ReplyDeleteLove the sign. I'm glad Steven is feeling a little better.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what Addie's medichlorian count is. I think Yoda could do wonders with her. Love your blog. Keep fighting Steven.
ReplyDeleteSteve, I was thinking about you this morning and thought about what an amazing dude you are. Stay tough man! I'm praying for you always.
ReplyDeleteI like the backward "Soon get well" It makes a statement of determination almost like a command. You could add the words soon YOU WILL get well!
ReplyDeletecute
ReplyDeleteHurray for waffles and hot dogs!!! What were the white blood cell counts this week????
ReplyDeleteThis is actually Shirley Kmetzsch but for some reason our google account recognizes us as Mark which is fine since he's technically head boy around here. Anyway I just want to let you know we're thinking of Steven and your whole family and keeping you in our prayers. We fasted this Sunday for him and this blog helped the kids make a better connection to Steven and they're very aware of him and recognize if we miss mentioning him in any prayer we have so know that we're praying for him always. Keep up the fight Steven and the rest of you.
