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.

Nathan's surgery went well. He came off the anesthesia pretty horribly and managed to pull the new broviak some, but only uncoiled the external loop which is supposed to keep the device itself from pulling out and so we had to hang around for an extra hour while we waited for the surgery nurse to come back and re-do his dressing. Tonight he has a chest full of tape and we are hoping it will hold while he is on the IV tonight.

As usual he was a very good sport about everything.

Tomorrow we will start chemo finally(fingers crossed).
