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 everyone - we are having a good weekend.

Friday I took Nathan to the ENT doctor and he recommended hearing aids. I will take him back to the audiologist on Wednesday to get him fitted for hearing aids. I am not sure when he will actually get them. If he doesn't like them and won't wear them we can return them. Afterwards Nathan and I went out for breakfast.

Saturday Luke had to work a good part of the day and so the kids and I wandered around the mall. We all went out for dinner later and had a nice time.

Today we went to a birthday party at the zoo. Unfortunately it was snowing quite hard but we went to the ape house and then had the party in a cabin on the property. The kids had lots of fun and it was a nice family time for us.

This week Nathan goes for his hearing aid fitting and to the dentist. His teeth haven't been looked at in 6 months and I think they need some attention.

So - I will definitely update after Wednesday and let you know how things went.
