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...

Nathan's pain was better yesterday. He also had a long stretch of awake time. His fever was higher yesterday but reduced somewhat with Tylenol. He was compaining about stomach pain which is most likely because his sores are going all the way through his digestive track. He drank a few sips of ice water but eating and drinking is just too painful for him.

I came back up to Denver around 2:30 yesterday. I was required to wear gloves and a mask but I got to see Nathan. Luke is exhausted from his long weekend at the hospital. So far he is not sick though. We went out to dinner after we left the hospital last night and had a nice dinner to celebrate my birthday.
