About Me

Hans was a busy, happy, sweet and fearless three year old when he was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma. He fought his disease like a "gladiator" for nearly 6 years. Hans was an animal lover to his core. He was 'guarded' at home by his three cats, Black, Orange and Cotton. He also had his Golden Retriever, Honey, to keep him company. Hans enjoyed swimming, biking, gardening, grilling (he had his very own grill!), horseback riding, playing video games, building Legos, and flipping between Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and Animal Planet. Hans loved all members of his family and he was a loyal friend. He had to go through a lot of treatment in his life. But Hans powered through it. His attitude was let's get this done! His motivation was always to get back home, to his family, pets, favorite foods and pool.

Hans Admitted to TCH

After a quiet Easter at home, on Monday Hans went to the BMT clinic for a pre-transplant check in. His blood work showed his central line infection is still present, and so, he was admitted to the 8th floor (room 844). The plan now is that he will remain in the hospital until the infection is gone (whether or not the central line has to be replaced is still undecided) and then they will go ahead with the transplant.
He has settled into his room and is looking very cute with a little bit of soft brown hair.
Thanks for keeping him and his family in your thoughts and prayers as they move into this important step in Hans' journey!

Hey you guys in Houston - hope all is going better - we have been thinking about y'all a lot. Brunch was great - Hillary must have made 100 evil-skeeters (the spelling is really off but the pronunciation is better in this case). Papa is busy thinking about cooking spareribs for Joseph for Saturday night. We'll keep you in our prayers. pl in seallte
