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 had a pretty good day. His counts have not dropped yet. He was pretty sad this morning and wanted to go home most of the day. He was also tired most of the day. He took a nap this afternoon and went to bed at 7:00 tonight. He was pretty loving and sweet and played some too. We keep forgetting to bring in the camera to get an updated picture of him. The fluids and a steriod he gets have left him a little puffy.

Luke and I got out late last night to have dinner at a pizza/microbrew place we like to celebrate our 6th anniversary.

We also both spent a good portion of the day today cleaning and doing laundry. The cleaning requirements of the apartment are very strict. I kept thinking to myself that it is some kind of torture to me to have to clean like that. I hate to clean. Luke and I cannot imagine how on earth we will keep 2400 square feet clean if we are breaking our backs keeping a 2 bedroom apartment clean with just the two of us living here.... I suppose we'll do it somehow.

Can't think of anything more to say...need to go to bed!
