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.

Hello from New York - we had a pretty easy trip out. Everything went smoothly and Nathan was very good. We got to my Aunt's apartment (we are staying there while they are wintering elsewhere) and Nathan had some dinner, watched TV had a bath and went to bed without a fuss.

Tomorrow we will get some groceries and basically whatever Nathan feels like doing.

OH - I should add that the only hard part of the day was in the airports walking because we didn't have a stroller (it is here in New York) and Nathan doesn't walk for very long and he also walks VERY slowly. I carried him a little but it was difficult. I would really like for him to regain some strength. He acts like an old man when it comes to doing anything physical.

Julia is reportedly doing fine. She was upset when they dropped us off at the airport but got over it after a while. We have been prepping her for this all week and it was so sad because she'd tell me she wanted to go with me and cry. This morning she didn't want me to leave her sight. I miss her already!
