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.

Home!

The trip home was Ok. I got very carsick on the ride to the airport but didn't throw up. I felt very very bad when we got there and had to sit down for a while before proceeding to the gate. Nathan was pretty well behaved and did well on the plane. I was exhausted and had to tell him to let me doze a little.

We hopped into the car and the kids were asleep when got home and we put them straight to bed.

Today started out pretty rough. I was up at 5:00 am due to the time difference and feeling awful. About a half hour after Luke went to work Nathan was whining and crying about something and I realized I could not deal with him at all. I was DONE. I went and got him and he took the day off. We ended up having a pretty good day together. Hopefully I will be able to deal with Nathan tomorrow.

Tomorrow Nathan has a hearing test and he will go to the clnic for a check up on Thursday.

It is bathtime - got to go.
