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.

What a busy day we have had! We lazed around some this morning and then got on the subway and went to Johnny Rockets for some lunch (in the east Village). Afterwards we got back on the subway and went to the lower tip of Manhattan and got on the Staten Island Ferry. There were some fabulous views of Manhattan plus the ferry goes right by Ellis Island so we got a good look at the Statue of Liberty. We got off in Staten Island but got right back on and went back to Manhattan. Nathan thoroughly enjoyed all of that. We went back to the apartment and Nathan had a little nap. We then made pumpkin pie (which Nathan has been begging for us to do since it is his favorite) and I had an unfortunate accident removing it from the oven and half of the filling ended up in the oven. It is still partially edible though.

This evening we went out to dinner with John to a restaurant around the corner and had a good time. Nathan threw a big fit before we left meet John - not because he didn't want to go but he was just so tired he couldn't control himself anymore. After his fit he was just fine and had a good dinner.

I am so tired now but also so glad we filled up our day in such a fun way.

Hope you all are enjoying your weekend as well.
