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.

We're off
Steven's labs look great--his blood counts are all within normal ranges for the first time since he started chemo. It shouldn't surprise me so much--he really has seemed liked a whole different kid the last few days. So I guess the trip is on--and I won't even have to worry about things like altitude sickness or bleeding accidents--and likely not even fevers. Keep your fingers crossed that the worst of our problems will be kids that are tired of the car or cold--I think I can handle that.
