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 - not too much to report. We had a good weekend. To tell you the truth I am wracking my brain to figure out what we did and I can't even remember. This is not a bad thing...I am just tired I think. Julia slept poorly last night and we didn't get too much sleep.

The kids were in child care today and I had the day off. I mostly ran errands but Luke and I did have lunch together which we both enjoyed.

Tomorrow Nathan goes to the clinic in the morning and in the afternoon someone from the school district is coming out to pre-evaluate him for the school district's preschool. If they decide he has any special needs he would attend preschool this fall for free. Even if not thay can help us assess any areas of concern. Since he is our oldest we have no frame of reference to compare his skill levels. Either way he will be going to preschool we just need to know if he needs some extra help.

Well - that is about all my brain can produce. I will update in the next few days.
