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 had a good night last night. He was up once wanting apple juice but went back to sleep.
We went to the clinic this morning. His red blood cell counts were back down to where they were on Wednesday before the blood transfusion he had yesterday. His platelets also dropeed way back down. So tomorrow he will go to the hospital (since the clinic is closed) and get red blood cells and possibly platelets as well. He will not be admitted, just stay there for the transfusion and antibiotic and head home. He will be there most of the day though.
Nathan's doctor was in another town today and had not been able to look at his bone marrow results. The other doctor was going to try to look this afternoon. Once again - we are not holding our breath!
We'll let you know when we know anything new.
