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....please read the message above about Alex's lemonade stand. Try to find a stand to go to today and support childhood cancer research.

Finally got the last scan..all scans are clear!!!!!!!!

Luke, Julia, Mike and Kathy arrived yesterday evening and everyone was so happy. I got lots of hugs from Julia.

We all went out to dinner and played and talked.

Yesterday Nathan had a pretty good day. His pain was not too bad and he recovered quickly. He even wanted to go somewhere after the hospital so we went to the candy store. Jennifer Love Hewitt came to the hospital taking pictures with the kids. Nathan wasn't sure but I said she could hold one of his trucks so she held his bobcat and they took a picture. She thought he was very cute. I put a copy of the picture on the photo page...it is a pictre of the poloroid so not great quality.

Not sure of our plans today. We will have beautiful weather so we will definitely be out and about.
