Nathan's immunity is finally at a level that he can go out and about. We actually thought it would be that way today and went ahead and took him to church yesterday - just not to the nursery or Sunday School. His platlets are getting low again and so we will just have to see if they can sustain themselves or not. He will have his counts checked again on Thursday.
We got a surprise today - Nathan has a permanent tooth. We knew he had some loose teeth but weren't sure if it was normal or not. Well - the new tooth has broken through right behind the baby teeth. He is very happy to have an "adult" tooth now. Now we need to see if the loose tooth/teeth will come out on their own in the next week or two. If not, we will have them removed so we can make sure to do so while his counts are good and also before he has his surgery.
I am also off to the doctor on Thursday for another ultrasound. I am hoping the baby will be awake this time and we can get it to move around enough to finish checking all of its vital parts. As much as I have been being kicked lately I think there is a good chance.
That's about it...
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.
