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 - we have a house of sickies. The kids and I just have bad colds. Poor Luke has been in bed for two days with the flu. The kids and I have been going about our regular activities - just while sniffling.

Nate and Jules had swimming lessons today. They both are progressing nicely and we plan to sign them up for the next session.

Preschool is continuing to go well for Nathan. He just has so much fun every day. On Monday, however, he was sad because it was his turn to bring snack and one of the girls didn't like the applesauce. He really took pride in bringing snack and was disappointed that he couldn't please everyone. One of the other moms told me her daughter told her she had a crush on someone and could her mom guess who? Her mom said no and she said she would give her a hint - he had things in his ears! She said that Nathan is so fun to play with and so nice. Isn't that sweet!

Nathan told me that his legs hurt him last night because he had been walking too much. Well - there is nothing a Neuroblastoma parent wants to hear less than that! I hope he had just done something active yesterday.

I have finally updated our family web page. There is a link at the bottom of the page.

One of our NB friends, Joshua, could use some prayers as he has had a scan that is a bit questionable. He was diagnosed at the same time and Nathan and they did antibodies together. So please send some extra prayers his way that all is fine.

Thanks for checking in with us!
