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 - we have had a fairly uneventful several days.

On the health front Nathan is doing well. He does have some diarrhea once again, but not the intense pain with it. We are keeping an eye on it and will contact the GI doctor about if neccessary. We ordered his hearing aides. They will take about a week to come in.

Nathan and Julia have really started playing together - which while it can cause fights is so mice to see. She has such an imagination - they were playing that dragons were chasing them.

Tomorrow Nathan goes to the oncologist. We are interested to see what his weight and blood counts are. I am really hoping for good on both fronts. I will also ask about his urine test results.

He goes back to the dentist next week for a cleaning. I did some asking around and feel ok with taking him back to our local dentist. We'll see what he says after the cleaning.

I will definitely update tomorrow after his appointment.

Until then....
