Welcome to Stephen's Page 
Stephen is now 5 years cancer-free. We are so thankful to God and to his doctors for this!
Unfortunately, we stopped using this site because of the HORRIBLE spamming that has been happening in Stephen's guest book. It got to where I couldn't let him read his own messages because of the pornographic or otherwise inappropriate messages that were being left by web bots... It just occurred to me, though, that I never let any of the wonderful people who kept checking in on Stephen know of this decision. I'm so sorry for that!
So if there is anyone left who actually visits this site looking for updates on our boy, first off THANK YOU! We appreciate your attention and concern so much! Second off, we won't be posting here anymore. if you need to reach me - for whatever reason - please email me at lamplitr@shentel.net Here's hoping I have not just opened myself up to incredibly horrible emails...
Thank you, and God bless your richly!
-Tracy and Stephen
Welcome to Stephen's CaringBridge Web Page! We are grateful to have a spot on the 'net where we can keep our friends and family up to date on our son Stephen's progress.
Stephen was diagnosed February 19, 2004 with a grade 2+ thoracic intramedullary astrocytoma, a rare tumor of the spinal cord. He had a partial resection on February 24th, and began carboplatin and vincristine chemotherapy in March of 2004.
God is obviously at work in this precious little boy! As of February 3, 2005, Stephen finished with chemotherapy and began the monitoring phase of his treatment. He will have MRI scans of the spine done and visit the oncology clinic every 12 months.
Next MRI date: June 2011.
Stephen's scans are now clear, which all of his doctors have indicated was beyond their expectations! He will NOT have to undergo radiation as was previously indicated! He is truly a miracle boy!
We have finally put a few pictures in Stephen's photo album!

Thanks, Michele, for this awesome blinkie!!!!!
