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.

Good morning.. I guess I forgot to update yesterday.

Nathan's day was much like the day before. Some pain - not too bad. He really did not want to leave. This is not unusual but he just didn't get over it and after we got back to the apartment he was still upset and didn't want to be there so we put him in his stroller and went to the Central Park Zoo. It is quite a walk (over a mile) but we all enjoyed it since the weather was very nice. We didn't stay at the zoo very long but we all enjoyed the animals. After we returned we went to John and Judy's for dinner (friends who live in the building) and came home and Nathan went to bed.

This morning Nathan seems to be in a good mood. I am just hoping for another day like yesterday in which the pain is not too severe.

2 more days to go!!!!
