Houston, we have peach fuzz!
Von is officially through the really rough part of the treatment program. It's only been 6 months, and even though we still have three years to go, we're feeling just grand about graduating into the maintenance stage.
It means we can travel a bit more as a family, enjoy some crowds and outdoor activities, have fewer weekly hospital visits, and as an added bonus, Von is growing hair. No more stares or commentaries on his appearances from other little kids in the cereal isle.
If you were needing a haircut and putting it off, consider a celebratory haircut in Von's honor, now that he will be growing some of his own.

Yay! What good news, especially the part about you traveling more. Maybe we can see you soon. Tell Von I think he looks cool without hair, but peach fuzz is cool too.
Hi Von! hope you get more fuzz it is so cool I hope you come and see me! love evi
What a smile! On our faces as well! Grateful to the Lord who heals and restores. Von, you are lookin' good, buddy, and Oma would love to rub that fuzz! Hugs and kisses.
That's really great news! And if GAP decides to market porta-caths as a new fashion trend, they have their model. CUTE KID!
Awesome! I'll shave my head today in Von's honor. My own peach fuzz is out-of-control. Here's to Von having a full head of hair again soon! And here's to your part of the Rovenstine clan getting out more as a family! Von looks great, and Oma Roberta is right--great smile!
rock on little man!
I think that you (Von) look incredibly handsome without hair, but I know you will look just as handsome with your new soft locks!
Yeeaah!!! That's so awesome! We still pray for Von every night during bedtime prayers. It's awesome to see God answering our prayers. :)
Von, congratulations on the Peach Fuzz. It will be replaced soon by handsome hair, just wait.
Congratulations to the family too, being able to resume a somewhat normal life.
Take care,
Linda W.
