Clean scans

A long day...a good day. We had an early start with an appointment at 8am. Steven threw up on the way to the hospital. Good thing my van hasn't been cleaned out in a while, cuz there just happened to be a grocery bag available. Against my will, I peeked at the screens the best I could during all the imaging (CT, Xran, bone scan) and felt good about the scans. I tried not to be too confident in my radiology skills, but felt hopeful as we went to lunch with my dad to await the appointment with Steven's oncologist to get results. Even still, I didn't want to wait for that appointment. We got a lucky break, though, as Dr. Jones, the orthopedic doc called me and told me they all looked good. So we got to go to clinic feeling happy and relieved. He looks great and now we can breath easy for a few months. He has been delightfully happy all afternoon and evening--a huge burden lifted.

  2. Yay! (Okay, so that is the only word I can think of-and it just doesn't seem to fit the full extent of what I want to say. But you should see me crying and doing the happy dance while I say YAY at the top of my lungs!!!!)

  7. I just stumbled across your site. Our ten year old daughter, Bailey, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in March. We are well into chemo and have decided to do a rotationplasty as well. She is a very athletic, active girl and she wants very much to get back to that. Congratulations on Steven's clean scans! He looks like an amazing kid. Nice job mama!
