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.

Susan here...

Well - I had a nice relaxing trip though it was WAY too short!

Sunday Nathan was in a large amount of abdominal pain. It subsided after a while and they had a good rest of the day. Monday while they were at day care he had another episode. Today he hasn't had severe pain but some moderate pain throughout the day. We have an appointment with a Pediatric GI doctor in Denver tomorrow morning. In the afternoon he will go the the oncology clinic.

Luke is going on a business trip tomorrow and will be back Thursday night. Our friends/relatives Matt and Beth and family will be coming to visit on Thursday. We are very much looking forward to the visit. We are supposed to have really nice weather the next few days so hopefully we will spend lots of time outside.

I will try to update tomorrow night about his doctor visits. I don't expect much to happen yet. I have to somehow bring this new doctor up to date with Nathan's medical history and I imagine they may want to run some tests in the future.

Thanks to everyone to continue to keep up with Nathan and our family...it means a lot to us. Check in at our guestbook from time to time if you don't mind.
