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.

Good morning! We made it home yesterday. The weather was much better and we made it home and hour faster than on the way out...plus we gained and hour in time so we got home a little before 6:00 pm. The kids were amazingly good once again.

Today Luke will STILL be working (he worked every single day we were in Illinois and all the days preceding) and the kids and I will clean out the not-so-new-anymore van and we are going to a birthday party later in the day.

Tomorrow is Luke's birthday so the kids and I will go get him some gifts. Nathan next goes to the doctor on Thursday. We never heard anything about the kidney function so I am hoping no news is good news.

A special "Happy 70th Birthday!" to a very special person to us, my uncle Bill Dick. We couldn't make it to his big birthday bash last night in Washington DC and we missed seeing him and all the other people we love who were there.
