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 the big city..

We had a fairly uneventful trip yesterday and got to the apartment around 6:00 pm. My aunt Joan was already here and she got some groceries and after some dinner I put Nathan to bed and he went to bed without a problem.

No big plans for today - we'll see what Nathan has in mind.

Tomorrow will be a very long day. Nathan gets one of his medications by IV this time instead of a shot and so his days at the clinic will be 3 hours longer. I anticipate being there from 8 - 3 most days except that on Mondays everything runs late and so we may be there a few hours later.

I opened Nathan's suitcase up last night to discover that Julia had packed a pair of her pants. I had seen her get them out of the laundry basket but didn't know she packed them. She even zipped up the compartment. I miss her!

I will update tomorrow night - hope you all are having a good weekend.
