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's nurse just started the chemo for round 17. This is methotrexate so the infusion lasts four hours and hopefully Steven will go home Thursday, if not, Friday. His counts weren't great, but they we good enough. He has watched a movie, read a book and just started some Mario Galaxy. The cat got out of the bag that i actually do know how to plug the wii in (he used to wait until Rob could bring it up.). Something about the hospital makes me feel instantly tired. This is probably those negative associations the nurses talk about. I am having a hard time keeping my eyes open. But life is good--even the docs are talking about how close we are to the end. Exciting!

The Wii incident reminds me of when Isaac wanted me to take the training wheels off his bike. I did not want to spend the afternoon running up and down the street after the bike, so I told him, "You will have to wait for Dad to come home for him to do that." He looked at me kind of funny and said, "But Mom, you are the one who put the training wheels on..." I had forgotten. I took them off for him.
