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 home!

The day got off to a rough start because my alarm did not go off and I woke up 20 minutes before the car was coming to pick us up. Somehow we made it down in time and were on our way. We landed in Colorado around 10:15 am and Luke and Julia met us and we went home. We are all so happy to be together again!

After several tries Nathan managed to swallow his accutane pill. We were very impressed because it was very hard for him and instead of giving up when he couldn't do it on the first try (which is usually how he is) he tried and tried until it went down. What a relief!

Tomorrow we will celebrate Julia's birthday. Nathan will help me make her cake after I get back from taking Julia for her 2 year Dr appointment...just what I want to do my first day home!
