Our Thoughts With Nathan Carlson

The holiday season doesn't always deal you the best hands. I found out yesterday that Nathan Carlson, the 7 year old nephew of my friend Matt was diagnosed with leukemia. After being seemingly fine when they saw him over the weekend, Nathan collapsed during his karate class on Monday. He was taken to the hospital in New Hampshire on subsequently diagnosed with leukemia. He is now admitted at Children's Hospital in Boston and has already began his chemotherapy treatment. This is something that no 7 year old child deserves to deal with. One of lifes ugly sides. The good news is that this kind of leukemia is often successfuly treated in young children. So we hope this will be the case with young Nathan, as he has way too much life to live. For the most part, this blog has been about lots of fun and the good things in life. We all need to realize just how precious life is.

From everybody at howardkalin.blogspot.com, we wish Nathan the best in his recovery.
