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 is having a really good day. We went to the clinic this morning for blood counts. They are still good and his platelets are low but not too low that he needed a transfusion. He will undoubtedly need one tomorrow. We will go in to the clinic at 9:30 and probably over to the hospital after that.

He has really been himself today. Playing and being silly and generally having fun. He has also been less fussy and more polite. For a while this evening he was playing with trucks and singing Baby Beluga to himself.

We will update tomorrow

p.s. after Saturday at 1:00 CaringBridge is doing some updating and we may not be able to do any updates for up to three days. So hang in there. We will definately update tomorrow though
