Hans seems to be improving over the course of the weekend. He had been pretty low-energy all weekend, but yesterday he just seemed a little bit better. It was the first day that I felt like we'd make it all the way to Thursday without an extra Clinic Visit. He is eating well - his requests have included smoothies, lemonade, eggs, spaghetti, milk, juice and chips, as well as more chicken wings. He doesn't eat large volumes of food, but does eat all day long. He is very thin now, so I'm pretty much getting him whatever he asks for. He's starting to be more and more active. I took him in the bike seat and we had gone ten miles and were almost home before he started complaining! I am hoping and praying for good counts at our visit tomorrow.
We got the nicest surprise in the world on Friday. We got a letter from Kevin's old buddy from growing up in Ellensburg, Scott McDermott. He and his wife Bethany and her study group at WWU had done a fundraiser for Hans! They sold concessions at a little league tournament in Lake Stevens, WA for him. I think Kevin scanned in the photos, maybe I can post them tonight. It was heartwarming and surprising! Thanks guys.
It's 85 and getting humid in Houston. This is the last day of school for Elle! And, yes, mom, she did pass second grade! Ha Ha.

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.
