Said Dr. Krance today. Hans continues to sleep it off. His temperature stabilized overnight and now is up to about 99.4. Dr. Krance said that his body is just fighting off bacteria present in his mouth now. His ANC is now officially 0.00. The doctor just told us to expect him to be at his low point in a day or two. They kind of parcel the information out to us very gradually.
He actually looks pretty good, he has rested all morning except for one reading of Curious George, and now he is alert enough to watch Thomas the Tank Engine.
He can hardly take a thing by mouth, so it's good he's on IV Nutrition. He is tolerating the mouth care and they just upped his morphine dosing. He'll start getting doses of GCSF tomorrow, this is to promote cell growth, and it's the same drug he took prior to his Stem Cell Harvest.
My aunt Pati is flying in today from Seattle. She has been planning this trip since last summer when Elle invited her (she's her godmother) to her first communion. Everyone's looking forward to that event next Sunday the 6th of May. Elle will receive her first communion with many friends including Michael, Taylor, Kelly and Toni.
About Me
- Hans Weberling
- Bakersfield, CA, United States
- 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.

Hi! Medical procedures are so amazing. I'm glad Hans is doing as well as the Drs. planned. I'm praying he will do better then expected and that this recovery time will go quickly for all of you. Congratulations Elle on your First Communion, how exciting! Kevin & Lara you are such great parents, I am blessed by the love you have. Take Care of each other. Love, Cindy
Hang in there Hansie...we are all thinking of you.
Great soccer game Elle, sorry I couldn't see it from all the way out here in CA...
Thinking of the whole family and sending my love,
