Defying Gravity!


I thought I would let you all know the latest with Steve-o McDermott...

We got the BEST NEWS from Stevie's doctors in California...
Since his radiation treatment with the proton beam ended in August his tumor has had "slight" growth which is HUGE since he was going in for surgery every 6 months to de-bulk the tumor!! - He doesn't have to go to California until February because he is doing so well! He is still on the oxygen because of the damage the radiation did to his lungs but the amazing news about that is that the damage is COMPLETELY reversible!! YEAH!! We are all on Cloud 9!! Steve is really defying this thing they call cancer!!! He will be able to ski, scuba dive and play tennis with us in no time!!!

We love you Stevie!!

Thanks so much to all my amazing family and especially cute Lucy and Gavin for all your prayers on Steve's behalf! We aren't out of the woods yet but I know those prayers have been heard and answered!!!

P.S. Can you believe these are the only pictures we have of us with Steve?? We really need to step up our picture taking!!

That's awesome! We're glad to hear Steve is doing well. He's such a good man! I'm sure having such a great family to support him every step of the way is a nice factor in the miracles you're seeing with him! We're glad you two look like you're doing great, too! We'll see you at Christmas!

That is such good news! When Casey and I decided to get married outside the temple first Steve was the first person we wanted to marry us... but then we learned the rules and found out we needed a bishop. But Steve holds a great place in our hearts! You got this Steve!!
