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.

Happy Fourth of July!

We made it to Illinois just fine. We had horrible weather driving. The kids were very good. We are enjoying our visit so far. Right now both kids should be napping but aren't so I am kind of frustrated but they have been enjoying playing with their grandparents immensely.

We may try to take them to fireworks tonight - but not if they don't nap.

I will be trying a country delicacy at dinner tonight - fried pumpkin blossoms - I have heard about them from Luke so I am interested to try for myself. This kids think it is a funny idea to eat flowers - I bet they will get a kick out of it!

Hope you all have a good holiday!
