Thanksgiving

Nate had a great Thanksgiving with his Mom, Dad, Shaughanie, Michael, Eva, Benji, and Jocelyn and Zack who came from DC to celebrate. Nate ate lots of delicious food, hung out with his friends, played Guitar Hero, watched movies, showed everyone his favorite youtube videos and played UNO. Actually, while playing Uno, sweet Nate didn't want to give any of his Draw Four cards to his sister Jocelyn. He kept them as long as he could and usually got stuck with them in the end. Lest you think that his kindness hurt him, please know that Nate won the game. Moral of the story--being nice to your sister pays off. More than anything, Nate is just trying to be a normal teenager when not in the hospital. Right now he's just trying to put on weight and get stronger before his next round of chemo which will start next week and will be 8Xs stronger than previous rounds. Please keep him in your prayers. This Thanksgiving Nate is grateful for life, and his family is grateful for Nate in their lives.

Thanks for the photos! SO good to see Nate having fun!

Does Nate like Smashing Pumpkins? Would he be able to go to a concert this week?! If so, call or email me-
