Nathan received vaccine #3 today. Since he was not able to receive the vaccine following the MRI, we went back today and everything went very smoothly. Although the shots are still very painful, Nathan has learned how to use the blood pressure machine and thinks it is great he gets to push the green button. After 2 1/2 years of screaming when he gets his blood pressure taken, all of a sudden pushing the green button makes everything better.
Pap was with us and helped to keep things fun for Nathan. The two of them run up and down the halls after the vaccine is injected to help get things moving through his legs. Nathan was fighting a cold before the vaccine so hopefully this will not effect him even more. He usually has trouble sleeping for about a week after the vaccine. We hope each time gets a little easier.
Nathan was diagnosed with a JPA brain tumor when he was 8 months old. This blog is a journal of his story. Since he is not old enough to understand his illness, he will one day read this blog and learn how hard he fights every day to win this battle. Thank you for your words of love, support, and encouragement. Our family is forever grateful.

Nathan was granted a wish from Make-A-Wish in November of 2015. He wished to have a truck stop in his back yard. Our friends at Make-A-Wish made his dreams come true. They built a play structure in the backyard for him to play with his trucks and enjoy being a kid.
