Things continue to go well here. Nathan finished his chemo with no problems. He developed a cough this weekend that is bothering him, but otherwise is doing great.
Nathan went off to school today and seemed to have enjoyed himself. I love hearing about all the things he did and learned each day. Today he learned to write a lower-case f.
After school I took him to the clinic. His counts are good. His hemoglobin continues to be a little on the low side - but stable. His other counts are great. We should start to see the effects of the chemo on his counts late in the week. He will get them checked again on Friday. He got a full exam and the good thing was that though his cough sounds bad - his lungs are perfectly clear. This confirms our suspicions that the cough is from his allergies. Other than being skinny (he has lost a few pounds since the relapse) he looks really good. When he got out of kindergarten he ran over to me. I love seeing him break out into a spontaneous run.
So - no chemo this week - no clinic until Friday. Julia starts preschool this week. All in all it is looking to be a good week.
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.
