Steve's symptoms are improving after two doses of the steroid. We're encouraged that he'll at least be able to get through the weekend comfortably before seeing additional doctors next week.

Enjoy Jen Weintraub's beautiful work
January 2008
Beloved and gentle husband, daddy, son, brother, friend, co-worker and neighbor who battled brain cancer -- a glioblastoma in the brain stem that we call Spot. That Damm Spot was released with Steve's peaceful passing on September 7, 2009.

There is not a more loving, kinder or beautiful family!!!!!!!!!
And a quite handsome family indeed!
Cooper looks more like you and Katie more like her Dad. Good just to see some "grown up" pictures of them.

Dear Steve, Tyra, Cooper and Katie:
We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers every day, and keeping daily watch on your faithful blog. We are so sorry your family is going through this trying time, and we pray that your upcoming doctor consults will bring promising news. It is comforting to see your beautiful family.
Stay strong and let everyone in your incredible support network (especially the one who keeps your faith going strong) help see you through. Please let us know if there is anything at all that we can do for you.
Sincerely,
Frank, Kay, Will and Lindsay Christlieb
