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.

Well - 2 down, 8 to go. Today was not too awful either. He had a bad case of the hives but he didn't really notice it so that was good. Also they didn't make his throat tight this time so he "coped" right through them. After the pain went he slept for a while and when he woke up he actually wasn't crabby and we went back to the room and he ate a little and had a nap. Afterwards we went for a walk and to the candy store and out for dinner. He had a wonderful time at dinner watching all the trucks drive by and was smiling, giggling and talkative the whole time. We went down to the game room when we got back and now it is bedtime but he and his beanie baby bear are playing trucks together and since he only has these few hours to play I am letting him play a little longer.
