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 good night and is doing well. They intend to extubate him when he wakes up from sedation and that is taking a long time. He has been sedated since the surgery so we haven't been able to communicate with him. The PICU is very good. We are in a room with 3 beds and a nurses station right in the room so he is very closely monitored.

Luke and I are just sitting around sort of hoping he will wake up but being grateful that he is asleep and comfortable. Other times they have forced him to wake up from sedation and that is always bad.

We will update again at the end of the day.

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers for Nathan.
