Welcome to Nathan's Cancer Journey

This blog is a reposting of Nathan's Caringbridge page which we updated throughout his battle with Neuroblastoma.

Nathan was born on June 16, 2000, diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroblastoma on April 1, 2003 and died on July 29, 2007.

I have posted the journal here to make it easier to look up by date and also to be able to easily add pictures to the journal entries.

Some of the pictures go along with the text, but many of the pictures you will see were pictures taken on the same date the journal was added, even if the pictures have nothing to do with the text. In the future I may add additional journal entries to go along with pictures to add more explanation/memories.

I am just getting started posting the years of entries and so this will be incomplete for some time. I hope to eventually also post the guestbook entries by date as a comment on the post.

Hi - Susan here
Nathan had a good day yesterday. No clinic visits and he was healthy enough to go out and so in the morning we went to the zoo. Nathan was joined by his friends Catherine and Bo.
On the way home I was giving Julia some cookies and I offered him one and he ate it and the proceeded to eat more food the rest of the day; ice cream, muffins and chicken nuggets. Needless to say we are very happy about this.
He refused to nap and Julia didn't really either so we went off to the mall (against one of our doctor's wishes) and got Nathan some new hats. He was in the stroller the whole time and so fairly safe from germs.
We had to change his dressing on his chest tube last night and so that was a big fight. We only have to do that one a week at least.
Please check out the photo album page - I added a few new pictures.
