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.

Steven has been hanging out in the hospital since Wednesday morning. He went through a tortuous methotrexate infusion on Wednesday evening (read: he was throwing up more than usual). He was feeling better by the next day and has been eating pretty well since. He has been busy up at the hospital with physical therapy, a long visit with the nutritionist, playing chess with some of the child life volunteers, playing games with his uncle, doctors stopping in, pet therapists (his favorite), a walk to the patio, video games, movies and books. Hopefully he will get to come home sometime tomorrow, but it may be Sunday--who knows. Rob is up there tonight--a nice break from me, I'm sure.
