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.

We are out of the hospital! Nathan had a real food dinner last night and tolerated it just fine. We went straight from the hospital to the toy store where Nathan picked out some toys and played with the train set. He looked very tierd on his stroller ride back, but we came home and Luke and I have our feet up but he is on the floor playing with his new toys. He is doing great. He was complaining about not being able to walk fast but we assured him he will be running around soon.

We will go back to the day hospital on Thursday to see the surgeons (they will remove his stiches) and see the neuroblastoma team. We hope to learn a little more about the vaccine and its time requirements.

Tomorrow we may go to Times Square or some other outing that Nathan requests.
