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.

My computer is down, so this will be short. Steven is doing okay. His labs showed low numbers across the board, most concerning were platelets. He was at 15 and they normally give plasma when that number is below 20. Since he is having no bleeding problems and we expect them to be on the way up, we are going to wait on the transfusion. His mouth sores are mostly gone this morning which means his immune system is back. Celebrate that we avoided a neutropenic fever yet again! He is off fishing with his dad and grandpa. His numbers put a serious damper on our weekend plans so we found an activity just as exciting to make up for the disappointment. I promise I will post pictures soon.
