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 evening,

We made it to New York without much difficulty. The only glitch in out travel was after waiting in long lines to check in and then for security it was discovered they had given me a boarding pass for someone else on another flight but the same seat. Fortunately, I went and got it fixed and did not have to wait in the lines again. Nathan wasn't too happy about all the walking back and forth.

Our room is nice and clean this time and a good configuration. We got settled in and my Aunt Joan brought some of our things to us (that we keep in New York). She and Nathan played for a while until we told him we just had to eat. He would have liked to play with her all evening. He is very excited to be in New York and was bouncing off the walls...which is very much not like him. He just now finally went to sleep (10:00).

We are expecting the tropical storm rains to start in a few hours. Regardless we will be out and about in the weather tomorrow because I left a prescription at home and have to get a replacement here, but the pharmacy is far away. I am sure Nathan will enjoy the trip and maybe we will also go to Times Square.

Well - time for me to wind down and think about sleeping. Hope you all are having a good weekend.
