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..

Today was a better day. We went in at 8:00 and Nathan did not fuss about going. We hung around the waiting room for about an hour or so and then they called him back to a room and proceded with the infusion. Unfortunatly his red blood count had dropped alot and so they wanted to reverify with a finger stick and so he was not happy about that.

His pain was a little more today but that is because they cut down on his pain medication. This time his blood pressure stayed fine and he was not out of it. He handled it all very well and we were out of there around 11:30. He slept some when we got home and again later but is doing really well and in a pretty good mood.

Luke will take him tomorrow and Thursday and I will stay with Julia.
