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 has been feeling ok this weekend but has been extremely cranky. He seems to be have some emotional problems. Who can blame him though. Yesterday Grandma Kathy left around noon and Nathan went to bed but didn't nap. By bed time he was a wreck and having huge fits over everything. This upset Julia and they both were upset when they went to bed and both slept horrbly. We seemed to be up every hour last night.

Today we took a field trip to go to my brother's house in Greeley. We figured that was a safe enough environment for Nathan. It was nice to get out of the house. Unfortunately Nathan was throwing lots of fits and whining a good part of the time. Both kids slept in the car on the way home at least. We have had a good evening and Nathan has been informed he can't run around in the dark playing unless he promises not to have a fit at bath time. We'll see....

Tomorrow Luke is going to try to go back to work - probably at the offices of the foudnation that owns the apartment. In the afternoon Nate goes to the clinic for blood counts. It should be interresting to see how his counts are doing after the weekend. We are planning on making lots of calls to figure out some things. We'll let you know when we know what is next for us.
