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.

Susan here...

This morning Nathan got sick upon awakening but rebounded and had a good day. He went to the DR this afternoon and his counts are still good. They haven't gone down yet which is expected with the type of chemo he had lst week. His blood counts were good enought that he doens't go back until Tursday and we think that Friday he will have transfusions.

On Saturday we changed Nathan's dressing around his catheter. After we were done Julia found and alcohol wipe and brought it to Luke and laid down ready to have "her dressing" changed. He obliged and pretended to do hers too.

I would write more but I am being harrassed by Julia to read to her.
