Happy 4th of July!
The head cat scan is normal. That is such a relief.
Nathan will be getting out of the hospital in an hour or two if all goes well. He is feeling well. He hasn't had any nausea since yesterday morning. The chemo he had the first 2 days is really the one that made him feel bad. The one he is still having yesterday and today doesn't have too many side effects so hopefully he will not have much more, if any, nausea.
He is in very good spirits. The doctor asked him what he was going to do when he got home and he said "play!".
He will probably continue to feel good until the weekend when his counts should start to drop. They may not drop until early next week. When his counts drop he will be tired and feel a little sick. Fortunately his Grandpa Mike and Grandma Kathy are coming to visit on Friday and so he will have good company!
We have no plans for today. We will probably cook out and maybe find some sparklers. There is no easy way to see fireworks from our house and we don't want to make a big trip to do it - so we will skip them this year.
Nathan had some visitors yesterday. His friend Rachel came and he had a really good time playing with her and being silly in his bed. It is nice for him to be able to play when he is stuck in the hospital. Thanks for bringing her Kate!
Well - it looks like they are ready to disconnect him so I will update again soon.
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.
