Hi Stephen, I came across your site today and thought I would say hi and congrats on getting through that long chemo process. My son Benjamin is a 2 year cancer survivor of Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma himself. Benjamin is 7 years old now and is doing great except for his sinus problems from Radiation. He was diagnosed head and neck August 1, 2002 and like yourself had to undergo 42 weeks of chemo and 31 rounds of radiation. Well it sounds like you did evrything you were supposed to do, congratulation and you take care.... If you would like to see him his site is www.caringbridge.org/oh/benjamin.

Hello Stephen,
I hope you and your family had a wonderful THANKSGIVING!! I hope you are doing well. My prayers are that you will never have a relapse of Rhabdomyosarcoma. I encourage you to look back, not only on Thanksgiving, but each day, at all the things you are thankful for, both past and present, and God will richly bless you. I hope you have a happy, healthy, and safe, holiday season. God Bless.

Hi, my name is Amanda Phipps and I met Lisa Faulkenbury and her son James at the oncologists office this week. My son was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma in his jaw 2 weeks ago(seems like a lifetime). She gave me you rsite, and I would love to speak with you if you ever get the time. I know it is hard to find the time, especially with kids. I have 3 under the age of 5. I am so glad that everything is going well and that your scans have come back clear. God bless you and your family.

Just had a few minutes to peruse your website for the first time after meeting this family, and most specifically the "mom". I was struck by the awesome grace of God in your lives to go through this illness with such humor, insight, and even humility. All things are not good, but all things work for good...and there will be incredible insights and sensitivities worked in all of your lives, that unfortunately don't seem to come any other way than through suffering - Phillip Yancey calls it "The Gift of Pain" - and only God's grace can make you recognize it as such. I look forward to reading more. Thank you for sharing!

The car looks awful, like you said. Hey, Stephen, I am a quiet prayer too (Baptist) but sometimes you just got to make sure you have God's full attention!!! Glad you all are going to be okay.....
Jordan is doing pretty good. He has missed school a couple of days so far this week, combination of nausea, headaches, and fatigue!!
Was nice to see you at the Rangers game on Saturday!! We found out on Monday when we went to our local pediatrician for bloodwork, that the doctor was at the game as well. He didn't realize Jordan would be presented on the field or that we would even be there for that matter. He was so excited about it!!

Dear Stephen, Monica, Steve, and Savannah,

Your note on Connor Hunley's website, remnded me to pop in and sign the guest book again. Stephen and Savannah look nice in the back to school picture. Kids in New York don't return to school until after Labor Day, with most schools around here starting on Wednesday, September 8. Of course you get out, in the spring, three or four weeks ahead of us.

I hope Stephen is doing well medically and that both he, and Savannah, are doing well in school.

Grace and peace,

Dear Stephen, Monica, Steve, and Savannah,

I have been praying for Connor Hunley, a nine and a half year old boy with Rhabdomyosarcoma, for about a year. Gradually, I have been reading about other children and signing their guest books. I found this website through Dustin's site, tonight.

The picture on the main page, of Stephen and Matthew, is great! I am sure they have a lot of fun in the tree house. I also liked the picture of Stephen with his camp counselors. They look like fun guys to know.

I was almost in shock, as I read about your accident, until I got to the part about praying aloud and how Stephen thought if his mother had prayed silently that she wouldn't have gotten a mouthful of glass. Thank God for his mercy and protection!

God bless you all! I will try to visit this site again.

Grace and peace,

~Colette~

Connor is having a rough sumer. Anyone interested in reading his story, or signing his guest book, can do so at http://www.caringbridge.org/tn/connorhunley

Hello, i was watching a couple of new records being set at the Olympics today, so thought i would look up some slightly stranger ones instead of some jokes.

Here's a couple;

Most spoons balanced on the face
Tim Johnston (USA) (b. 1 January 1992), was able to balance on his face (one on each ear, two on each cheek, three on his chin, two on his lips, one on his nose and three on his forehead) and balance them for 30 seconds at on May 28, 2004.


British pub landlord Garry Turner clipped 153 ordinary wooden clothes pegs on his face at the WH Smith bookshop in York, Yorkshire, UK, on September 28, 2002

We are so glad that you guys are okay. It's obvious that the Lord has a special hand of blessing on you for continuing to protect your family. We will pray for you all to heal quickly. Stephen, we knew how you managed to deal with your treatment so well, God's mercy--but your sense of humor must have played a big role too!! Weston's mom, Sherrie, was so tickled about you admonishing your mom that praying quietly would have prevented glass in her mouth, that she called me down in Austin to tell me the story!! We are Baptists, so we used to practice only quietly praying, but over the last several months, we find calling to the Lord out loud in moments of need is so powerful. My husband has been jokingly calling us Bapticostals! We look forward to your next update. Bless you all.

Hey to the Rhodes family,
I 'stopped' by to say a few words after linking from another site. I had to laugh when I read the info about camp. I've been a camp counselor for almost 30 years and those stories don't surprise me at all. I heard once that a young camper was heard to say on the last day of camp, "So that's where the shower house is"! Sounds a little far fetched, but you wonder.
Hope all are doing well at your house. Stephen, You are a handsome young guy and I hope you are enjoying your summer.

Hi Stephen!
We are sending a great big "WAY TO GO" on your fantastic journey to home plate! Logan loves baseball, and his Uncle Bryan is a baseball coach, so he knows what a big deal that is! We don't know what sounds like more fun, the baseball game, or your day on the boat. I don't know what they are talking about, I'm sure you're a great boat driver!
We go to Children's in Dallas too! Maybe we will see you around sometime! "Keep Swingin' For The Fences"!

Stephen, Did I read you are getting haircuts!! Sierra can't wait for the need to get a haircut. She has about 3/4 of an inch of hair and I actually accidently pulled it last night. She hasn't felt that in a year. Congratulations on doing so well. You must be soaking up all the great things that you missed out on this past year.
Monica--I "get" what you are saying, I know what you mean. I thought I would be over thinking of cancer at this point. This is our new club, "Moms of Cancer Survivors." With this new job, we are still on guard. I am learning to live this part of the journey. Advice that was given to me: "Live life everyday, only worry the day of the scans. Don't get bogged down between scans or we will forget to enjoy life." Here's to the milestones...like haircuts :)
Take Good Care,
Maria, Sierra's Mom

Rhodes,

Glad to hear everything seems to be going well, it is about time!! I know all of you are ready for summer to get here and school to be out. Will only has two more days of school and I am already trying to think of things to do. He wakes up every morning and ask if he has school and I think by June I will be pulling my hair out! Luckly, we have lots of places to go and maybe even a trip to Cooper would help the summer go by. Sounds like baseball is keeping you busy and I know you will hit the ball out of the park soon. You are lucky to have a good friend like Nick, he sounds like a nice guy and maybe you and Nick can practice your swing this summer.

We hope to see you at the end of May.

I'm with you, Our God is AWESOME! Congratulations on being deported, that means the doctors finally agree with Jesus. It is finished!

Today I was just checking on all the Caringbridge kids and found your son; I thank the Lord that he's still in the healing business. Oh God, I just want to scream his praises. May you be blessed with health, love, peace and joy all the days of your lives.

Rhodes,

The snow looks great. I was planning a visit to Cooper and going to leave today, Saturday, Feb. 14th, but decided that I better wait until tomorrow. I don't want to hit any ice with my precious cargo, Will and Brad, in the van. Maybe the snow will still be there tomorrow when I come in. Will and Brad would love to play in the snow and chances are if we live in Houston forever they will never see it. If Houston got three inches of snow I think the city would shutdown!! We are glad to hear that the end of all the treatments are near. I know this has been hard for all of you but now there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Enjoy the snow and eat some snow ice cream for me. Daddy would make snow ice cream when I was little and couldn't wait to eat it. I guess Blue Bell will have to do for the Morgan house..

See you at Easter,

Eric's handwriting also stinks. It has definitely gotten worse since the vincristine! He says it hurts his hand to write much, so usually I do the writing for homework. Unfortunately, I can't do that for the cursive practice sheets. Oh well, in the grand scheme of things, handwriting is pretty minimal, huh? I'm more worried about healthy and happy.

Take care!

I am glad to hear Stephen is almost finished with all his chemo and treatments and before you know it he will his old self.
Hope you have a great birthday Savannah. I am not sure what day your birthday is but I know it is around Chlesea's birthday, February 8th. I think Chelsea will be eleven this year. Time has flown by and you don't realize that until you have children of your own. I cannot believe that William will be four soon and it will just around the corner that Brad will be two.

As far as Savannah, she has grown into a beautiful young lady. The first picture I saw of her, she was laying in Steve's hand. Her little legs were drawn up and from her head to her bottom, she was the length of Steve's hand. Almost each time I see Steve I look and his hand and think of that picture.

I will tell her about you school project - she will think that was a cool subject. She is sure getting around slow, turtle style. She is having trouble with her eyes. She can not see to read the Bible - so Aunt Sue and I read it for her. Remember to pray for her when you pray. I still beleive you have a speed dial # when you use the prayer line.

Stephen, I'm Eric Dakota's Dad Mike. He is a strong fighter like you. I wanted to say hello from Minnesota. I know you are tired of all the treatments and attention, but I want you to give your Mom and the rest of your family a big hug. You are all in this together.

Let me know if you want some snow. We have plenty here. I could send you some.

Do you like DragonBall Z? Eric does but I think there is too much fighting. What do you think?

Hi Stephen and greetings from your Holiday Angel!

I found your web address on the postcard your Mom sent. What a nice website! I am so happy you received all the "Countdown to Christmas " gifts and hope you are having fun opening them each day. I sure wish I could be there to give you a hug on Christmas Day. Instead, I will be here in beautiful, snowy Colorado thinking of you and smiling. You are an inspiration to me and I'm sure many other people. Merry Christmas with love from your Holiday Angel, Char

You look handsome in your church play costume. Savannah, you looked beautiful, also. I hate we did not get to come. We always enjoy "whatever" production your church puts on. We were out of town - maybe next year. Because I have to work late today, I went to see Granny at noon. She said PaPa would be home Wednesday. Bet you can't wait to see what he's got up his sleeve. Sounds as if you and Savannah have already had quite a Christmas. Hope all of you have a wonderful and blessed Christmas. We love all of you.

The playground looks like too much fun. I know if I show Will the photos of the playground he will say he needs that for Christmas. Everything he sees, he needs for Christmas. We went to see Santa this weekend and Will told him all he wanted was a Billy Blazes Rescue Hero Firetruck and Brad cried. Poor Santa or I should I say poor Brad!!

Enjoy your new playground and don't let Tia throw-up on you after she is put down the slide!! She is a Ninja after all, she might do some Kung-fu fighting on you.

Hope all of you have a Merry Christmas.

The picture of the kids by the fountain is great. I guess it is one of the ones Lisa took. I saw Savannah yesterday at UIL. How did she do? Is Stephen getting ready to compete next year? I am sure he could be a great storyteller. Tell Stephen I feel for him having to have the two flu shots. I had one and it hurt like... I hope I can see you guys soon. Maybe you can find time in your busy schedule to go out and eat or shop with me. Is the church having a Christmas program this year?

Savannah, you look beautiful in the pictures your mom posted. Stepehen you look handsome, too. How big was Dane's deer? Bet she was glad to have two great helpers. Colton hasn't got one yet. Keep your fingers crossed for him. Got to go. We love you all.

Rhodes Clan,

Sorry to hear you got sick after your chemo. I hope your veggie soup made you feel better. I like the picture of the deer and hunter Stephen. We have been seeing a few deer down from our house, yes, deer live in Houston!! Will thinks we need one for a pet and dosen't understand why we can't take it home. We are doing good to keep our dog Maggie in one piece since Brad likes to hear the noise she makes when he grabs her ear. Thank goodness she is a very sweet dog and never bites at the boys. Maggie has been hiding since Bradley is walking now and is very strong. Brad's nickname is Moose and with good reason, he can pull Maggie off the couch with about three good tugs and then the fun has just begun.. Speaking of Moose, he just woke up from a nap.

We hope you are all doing well and we will see you Thanksgiving.

Glad to hear last week went well. Sorry to hear about the "new nurse" and the bad experience. Maybe, you will have the nurse you are used to next time. Has Dane got a deer yet? Colton and Rodney went youth week-end. On Sat. they walked up on 5 deer, ran them off and did not see anymore Sat. or Sunday when they went back. Robert & I got Colton a 30/30. This is his first year to have his own gun. Sure hope he gets a deer. Savannah, stay sweet - hope all is going well with you. We love you all.

Savannah, sorry to be until yesterday getting your flute. Hope one of them works for you. As you know, Ashley is in band, also. Can't wait to hear both of you play. I've always wanted to be able to play something. This is a great opportunity for you. Steve, Happy Birthday. Did you know Bill's and Aunt Sue Smith's birthday is on the 27th, also? Must be a great day. Hope you all have a great week. We will pray really hard for you Friday. You keep praying for us.
We Love you all,
Uncle Robert & Aunt Cat

Stephen,

Hi! I'm Kasey, and my son, Eric, also has Rhabdomyosarcoma. You probably have already seen Eric's Caring Bridge page (your mom put an entry in the guestbook). http://www.caringbridge.org/mn/ericdakota

I read your web page quite a lot and read it to Eric also. It is interesting to read about your treatments and see how they are slightly different than Eric's.

Eric is going to start the 3rd grade on Sept 2 and is a little nervous. Eric also has a sister, Katy, who is starting 5th grade this year.

The weather is supposed to start cooling off here in Minnesota later this week. We are looking forward to the fall! Is there anything you'd like for us to send you from Minnesota? A moose? How about a Timberwolf? Or a Viking?

Keep up the great job of being so strong and brave!

Stephen, Savannah, Monica & Steve,
So glad to hear all went well with your treatment. Glad to hear school was ok for both of you (Savannah & Stephen). Colton, T K & Ashley enjoyed their first week, also. I thought it was cool that you could balance the peacock feather on you nose. Did Papa have anything to do with making you think you were supposed to balance it on your nose? Savannah, Ashley is going to be in band. She wants to play the clarinet, also. I think we have found her one. I know a lady that has 2 flutes if you change your mind and would like to play the flute instead. We'll hope and pray all goes well this week for all of you. You keep praying for us.

So sorry to hear of the bad experience you had trying to get your treatment. I hope all goes better next time. I love your picture. It was so sweet of you to pick something for Savannah from the prize room. See, Savannah, he is not bad for a brother. Hope both of you enjoyed your first day of school. Colton, T K & Ashley said all went well with them. Colton & T K are in the new Jr. High building. They said it is so nice. We will keep praying for "ALL FOUR OF YOU". Keep praying for us.
We love all of you.

Stephen and Savannah,

I was glad to hear you got the package I sent you. I hope to see you in the du-rag soon. I know you will be the coolest kid at The Ronald McDonald House or at least the best dressed... Savannah, I hope you can find something to buy that will drive your mom crazy or should I say even more so!!! I think some bright red lipstick would do the trick, don't you?
We are glad to hear you are doing better day by day and that Savannah is doing well also. I look at your website at least once a day and can't wait to see your updates and pictures. William thinks the picture of you, Savannah and goats is really funny.

Love you all and hope to see you soon,

PRAISE THE LORD for the good news. I can hardly wait to read of your progess. Glad to hear Nanny Wanda is doing good, also. Looked at the new pictures your posted - boy did I have troulbe finding the "real" clown. Sounds as if Aunt Sue and Dane came through again. I think Colton, TK and Ashley are looking forward to school starting. Colton and TK will be in the new building (6th grade) this year. They keep telling Ashley - "You will be over there in that old building - all by yourself." Of course, if they are not bugging her about that - it would be somethning else. Stephen, I am so glad you are doing well - sorry to hear you were sick. Maybe, you were getting all of that out of the way - before school starts. Hope next week's treatment doesn't make you sick. I will pray real hard for you this week. When you press your speed dial prayer line - remember me and Uncle Robert.
We Love You All,

Try to keep him, Stephen, in line. Stephen and Savannah, how was the rodeo? Have either of you riden a horse before. We have horses - maybe sometime, if you would like, you can ride. We have two that Colton, TK and Ashley ride often. Keep getting better and we will keep praying and thanking the Lord for your healing. When you push that speed dial line to pray - don't forget to pray for Uncle Robert and me.

Stephen, Congratulations on your clear scans! You are kicking Rhabdo away. It has been fun to read about your martial arts, I am so impressed with how hard you work at it. Keep it up! I keep up with what you are doing on your website and sending you prayers. I know prayers help, because my little girl, Sierra is 7 and has orbital rhabdo and we know people are watching out for her. You don't know the people or see them, but they think of you often. Every week you get closer to being done!! Keep on kicking!!

Hi Monica, we met today at Children's. Just wanted to say I hope Stephen finally got something to eat! Kylie's tests went well, we don't have the results yet, so say a prayer. Stephen is now on our prayer list. Kylie really enjoyed meeting him today and talked about him to her Dad when she got home, of course mentioning his pretty yellow mask and how "handsome" (her words) she thought he was! Again, hope all went well today.

Have been crying and laughing as I view your history. It sounds so much like what we went through with my son Ty. He was Dx. in March 02, at age 7,he was in first grade, with paratesticular Botryoid Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma. He is in remission as of March 03. He, thank God,did not have to go thru radiation. Your latest experience is all so familiar at wal-mart. Of course it didn't help that his make a wish was a shopping spree at Toy works. Every week after his chemo. treatments he used his gift card to buy a new toy. Yes, I could open a toy store as they say on squirreltales. Sorry it has taken me a while to post to your site. Trying to get use to computers. You have been in our thoughts and prayers. Fight the good fight!!! God Bless!

Dear sweet Stephen,
My name is Lisa and your mom and I have become good friends at school. She is such a strong and caring person. You are very lucky to have her for a mom. She talks about you and Savannah all of the time. Her eyes sparkle when she says your names. I can hear the love in her voice and see it in her eyes. Stephen, you are such a brave little guy to have gone through all that you have so far. But I have no doubt in my mind that through the power of prayer and faith in God, you will get through this whole mess. And Savannah, I know how hard it is for you too and I will also be praying for you. I love the pictures on the site and my kids love your goat. They are begging for me to get them one. Your puppy dog is too cute. Take care and stay strong.

Hello. I was reading your original posts and it wrenched my heart. It has been 7 years for my family since the terrible day July 24th 96 that our son Brandon 's rhabdo was discovered. As I was reading I could feel it like it was yesterday and had to reach out to tell you, miracles happen, kids survive and life does return to normal after rhabdo invades your child and family. Brandon was almost 12 at diagnosis of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma ( I still chew on that word)stage 4 metastatic. Today he is turning 19 (in 3 weeks),is healthy, strong, a master mechanic apprentice and you would never know he was ever sick one day in his life. We have lived through rhabdo and all it's gut wrenching, horrific moments and I pray that this particular part of your journey goes by fast without incidence and you will be like us very soon looking back on it as though it was just a bad dream.
I was thrilled to read Stephen's cancer had not spread beyond the eye, what wonderfull news. HURRAY !!
May God bless your family and make this as easy to bear as possible. Have faith it can be beaten, don'y listen to stats, odds mean nothing to your individual case... Keep up the fight it can be won .
Sandra
ps this is my son's site if you want to have a look. and you might want to check out acor Rhabdokids it is a group of parents with rhabdo kids and a few adults too with it. More than a hundred from all over the world. A great group with so much love, faith, and resourses.hope to see you join us. There are many in the same part of treatment and a few of us still hang around that have had a child in remmision many years like us.

Stephen's radiation and chemo has changed his taste and smell capability . Well, yesterday we were on the way home when I said to Stephen "you dont drink Dr Pepper at all any more do you" then I said do you still smell like you did?that was followed by a moment of silence then Stephen leaned forward and said "DAD what did I used to smell like?" I thought I would die!!!! In the future I will make myself plainer.

I am glad that you and Stephen seem to be your old selves...arguing about the Dragon Ball Z games... and of course Savannah was there to keep the peace !! You all looked great and I hope things continue to go as well as they have been. I would like to be invited for watermelon, however, I think I will bring my own fork !!

She goes to church with Aunt Sue. What I would like to know is how do I get on Stephen's pray list? Heard about Nannie Wanda and the miracle she received. If you have room, put Uncle Robert and me on you list. Hope all of you have a wonderful week and we love you all.

My friend Sierra is also fighting Rhabdo right now. I used to be her preschool teacher. Your mom was nice enough to sign her guest book so I wanted to sign yours and wish you the best too. I really like the picture of you with your family in the pool. Sierra just got a port Wednesday so she will be swimming again in about a week and she can't wait!
Good luck to you and your family. I hope Nannie Wanda is doing even better now.

Hi Stephen
When I adopted your site I hadn't even looked at the pictures. The really funny thing is that when I was your age and my dad was your dads age, they could have passed for twins. Everybody that I have shown the picture to agrees with me. How funny, out of all the sites to adopt that I would choose this one. Must be sign that I should choose you. Hope you are still having a good week. Summer can be hot down your way. Staying in and eating ice cream sounds like a good way to stay cool. Take good care of your dad as he loves you a lot!

Seems like things are going well. I wanted to see you and Stephen so bad at Blake's party, and we were planning on coming, until Saturday about 3:00. We were camping at the lake and some family was coming in from Houston so I hated to leave. Ashley was very disappointed that she didn't get to come. She says her prayers for Stephen each night. It's really neat how much those kids in that class grew to love one another. She is looking forward to 1st grade with Mrs. Sanders. Tell Steve hello and take care. Let us know if you need anything.

Hi Steven family. Wow you sure have been thru a lot already. Its such a shame, and I hate coming across new Caringbridge sites, as it just means another kid going thru something no kid should ever have to deal with. My son has leukemia (ALL) so I kind of know the toll it takes on the whole family emotionally, financially and spiritually. Its also very hard on any siblings too, they dont understand why its all happening (and how do we explain when we dont understand ourselves!)

I love the pictures of you on the other site, you are one handsome devil!!! Well, I hope your being added to the Adopt a Kids Site brings you more visitors and more thoughts & prayers. We will be thinking of you! I'll email you as soon as your site's "adopted"

Hey Stephen. I just wanted you to know that every time PaPa thinks about you tickling him he starts doing that funny laugh you like. He is driving me crazy with it. He burned some brush yesterday and I now call him Smokey the Bear. So you can call him that now too.
Love you. Dane

You all are SO awesome and God is using you all and your strength to touch lives for Him.
You have probably seen this but I thought it was worth passing on to you. Keep the faith.
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring. He sends you a sunrise every morning. Face it, Stephen - He is crazy about you!
God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain,but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.

Hey Stephen,
Just a little note to say helloooo and to let you know that you are in our prayers.
Monica, honey, keep the faith... I know how it feels to watch your child suffer and I haven't forgotten how helpless I felt. Just remember that the Lord is looking for a place to show himself strong. He did heal my baby boy and he will heal yours...

This is to the parents of Stephen. My name is Erin and I am a respiratory therapist in the USAF. I am currently deployed overseas in Qatar. I have been here now for 66 days. I recieved this e-mail from my dad's girlfriend and I really feel for Stephen and your whole family. I work in an ICU back home and I see sick children quite a bit. I would love to do anything to make him as happy as possible. I was thinking that maybe you could give me your mailing address. I would love to send him some souvenirs from my deployment site. I know it seems silly, but I would just love to be able to give something to him. If I could help to put a smile on his face then that would make me happy. I just think children are great.
Well, I am going to go for now. I hope you see this. If you send me your e-mail, then I could send you a picture of myself. You can tell Stephen that he has his own personal Airman in the United States Air Force. He can adopt me and I will write him and send him gifts. :)
Well, you can think about it. I thought it would be nice.

"May today there be peace within. May you trust the Lord that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let His presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of you." Stephen, you hang in there, sweetie, you are one brave, tough young man. Always remember, "Jesus loves me, this I know...Little ones to Him belong, they are weak, but He is Strong." May each of you rely on the Lord's strength, let Him carry your load. Our prayers are with you.
