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.

Green Cast Club
Cross your fingers that the Green Cast Club will automatically dissolve tomorrow as Steven and his grandma are both getting the casts seen above removed. If all goes well, Steven will be cast free. (Grandma Jill, sadly, will have a few more weeks with a shorter cast.) Steven was supposed to start round 10 of chemo tomorrow, but the schedule up at the hospital is so full that they asked us to wait until Friday. I hate to get behind schedule, but another day at home (and one with perfect weather) is hard to pass up. For many reasons, lets hope that lots of sick kids get better and get to go home!

What happened to Grandma Jill?!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, awesome that hopefully he will be cast free tomorrow! Tim is a new person without it on. Good luck with the chemo, hopefully we will meet up again soon. There are so many new kids up there-sad:( We fill your frustration with trying to keep on schedule and the hospital having enough beds for everyone.
ReplyDeleteI hate getting off schedule too but enjoy the sunshine...Sun does a spirit some good!
ReplyDeleteI am really hoping Steven gets a long hot bath very soon.
ReplyDeleteGrandma Jill fell and broke her arm about three weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteOh, what an amazing memory, "remember when me and Grandma Jill had the same color cast..." I agree with Alisa, I bet Steven has missed the hot baths. Will he be out for the CureSearch walk?
