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,
I am finally able to catch my breath and update.
We had a reasonably good week, in that we got through it with Luke gone. As I said before there was lots of babysitting and that went fine. By the third night Julia wasn't too thrilled about it but she was just talking to be about it and not upset. The next day she sang a little song about how mommy was going to stay home with her tonight.
Friday we went to Chuck E Cheese so they were very happy about that. Outr playgroup goes there around 9:30 in the morning and we are usually the only ones there for a few hours. So - it is great for the kids.
Luke came home Friday night and it wasn't too late so I let the kids stay up and wait for him. They were very excited to do that.
Luke was the chief caregiver all weekend since I was doing choir things all weekend except Saturday morning. By Saturday morning I was dying to get away from the kids so I went off shopping by myself.
Sunday Nathan was not feeling great. He caught a little cold and laid around most of the day. He had to miss church and a party we were going to go to. It was for cancer families and so we didn't want to run the risk of infecting anyone.
Today I kept him home from preschool because I felt he needed an additional day of rest. He was a little emotional because of his cold. He is much better this evening and so I think he will be fine tomorrow.
We baked our first round of Christmas cookies today. We made some gingerbread and the kids got to use the cookie cutters.
There is nothing eventful going on this week. I expect to hear something about scan schedules the week following Christmas. His next round of immunizations is set for January.
So - that's it. Are you getting bored with us? That's OK - we like it that way!
