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...

Well - yesterday went downhill fast after my entry. Nathan was cranky and then just raging for the rest of the day into the night. We finally left at around 9:45. We are also dealing with my missing Julia and trying to figure out if we should bring her up here.

I will add more to the entry later - we have to get to the hospital.

It is later now. Nathan has had a better day. He is in pain but is himself and not raging. He has a low fever and his counts are down. He had a chest xray just as a precaution with the fever.

Luke will have to update more because as of around 11:00 this morning I have the stomach flu. I am feeling a little better now but must stay away from the hospital for at least 24 hours. If I feel up to it I will go home tomorrow to see Julia and turn the reigns over to my friend Lisa.
