Praying for Baby Nathan Moran

02/18/2026

Nathan was discharged with oral antibiotics. He seems to be feeling much more like himself and has a follow up Friday. We always appreciate everyone praying for him ❤️

He is feeling better, but waiting on the team to decide if he needs to stay on IV antibiotics or if he can go home on oral. He had an ultrasound on the kidneys and bladder. It is showing the kidney infection and so, the infectious disease doctor will ne the one to make the call for more IV antibiotics since he was septic or if he can go with oral and get discharged. Keep the prayers coming.

Nathan was very sick the last few days. We had an ER visit with iv antibiotics and blood cultures. This morning they called and asked to have him come to be admitted for IV antibiotics as his blood cultures came back positive for gram negative rods. (Sepsis)

Nathan is doing good. Lot's if upcoming appointments. VCU for urologist. UVA for Oncology, his neurosurgeon and orthopedic surgeon. We also have to talk to the endocrinologist about growth hormones. Nathan is 16 years old and only 5'4" his doctors feel this is from radiation received on his spine years ago and the surgeries on his spine. Nathan will have to decide if being taller will harm or benefit him. Being taller will actually cause it to be even harder for him to walk. He is currently having a lot of issues with distance and by distance, I mean walking maybe 100-200ft. and needing to sit down. We have a tall stool he uses to sit on in the kitchen to prepare food etc fir himself at our counters. He is always thinking of ways the world could improve for people who are disabled. I would love to see his ideas come to fruition one day. He is hoping to get his learner's permit and drive one day. College is also on his list of things to do. He is very creative and loves coding and his computer.
Just wanted to give a little update and thank you all for continuing to pray and support Nathan.

Update on Nathan- he is doing well. He was able to start physical therapy this week and he is moving better. He can do some steps, walking some with his rollidator, and working to get his strength back. He will see oncology the beginning of the year and urology and neurology in February. Thank you all for praying with Nathan and for our family. Please remember to be thankful for your health and your loved ones thos Christmas season and we are praising God for his faithfulness.

Nathan got through the last 6 days like a champ. Surgery went well. Tumor is removed. Spine is all fused. He is doing really good and is discharged from the hospital and nit complaining of anymore pain. He is just getting better every day. Thank you to everyone that has helped is and prayed for us. Having to pay for somewhere to stay six days snd buying food in the hospital is not cheap. We are very thankful for all the help and very grateful.

This handsome guy has his preop labs and check up today. Surgery is tomorrow. Remember to pray for him and his recovery. They are removing the tumor from his spine and removing his L4 & L5 vertebrae and discs and joints. He will then have replacements put in and this will be from L3 to S1 . I told him he is going to be a bionic man before he turns 18.
If you want to gift Nathan while he is in the hospital you can at $Kristinmoran75 that will go directly to Nathan for his Robux and whatever satisfies his heart ❤️ He will be in the ICU the first night and expected to stay several days to a week. Nathan is pretty amazing, so, I am praying he will recover quickly. Pray for my nerves because this surgery has me pretty anxious. I even discussed trying to put it off, but Nathan said, "let's get it done. " He's the boss.

Nathan will be having the tumor removed and a very invasive spinal resection done on November 5th. Please be in prayer for Nathan and his surgical team. Please pray and donate to his Healthcare journey if you feel led to do so. He will be inpatient following the surgery and then of course traveling after to see his specialists following a long recovery. His hospital is 263 miles, but he has to see Pediatric Specialists.

If every person would donate $1 it will really add up. We want to purchase some things for Nathan that would really lift him up when he's in the hospital recovering. This money also offsets expenses traveling, having food at the hospital, bills while out of work, and to purchase things for Nathan. He needs new socks which are $25 per pair. His shoes run $100/$150 per pair. Our travel for each trip is 263 miles. Of course we work and pay for everything as needed, but imagine thos extra expense on your own family. We are so thankful for everyone who continues to donate to Nathan. He has had a long journey. Unfortunately, he will most likely always have health issues from his cancer and treatment.

The purpose of this GoFundMe is to raise money on Nathan's behalf for … Kristin Moran needs your support for Stand by Nathan: Cancer Survivor's New Challenge

Nathan went to uva today to see his neurosurgeon. He will have surgery November 5th for the removal of the tumor in his spine. They will do a fusion from L3 to S1 and it will be a lengthy all day spinal surgery according to his surgeon. He will be in the Pediatric ICU following the surgery until he can be moved down depending on his pain tolerance and mobility etc. He is experiencing sharp, electric nerve pains behind his right knee from the tumor on those sacral nerves. Please be in prayer over Nathan and his surgeons. This is a lengthy surgery with two neurosurgeons overseeing this operation. He will have a very long recovery. However, it is growing and must be removed.
