The Diagnosis

Nate was diagnosed with leukemia on Thursday, July 24th, and AML specifically on Friday, July 25th. He started chemo on Monday, July 28th and thus is on the road to recovery. Here is a photo of Nate after his Hickman catheter was inserted for his chemo. Classic Nate.
Nate has, unsurprisingly, proved very popular since he was admitted to the hospital. We'd like to thank everyone who has visited, called, prayed, and fasted for Nate over the last week. Nate, and his family truly appreciate your kindness. Here is a photo of Nate with his friends Mack and Robert watching a movie.


Nate's brother Jeremiah gave Nate a pretty sweet fauxhawk on Tuesday and has some great photos of it. Until he has time to upload those, here is a photo of Nate headed out on his first walk outside the hospital with his brother Jeremiah and his sister Jocelyn.
