We are having well-deserved quiet weekend! We got through the Bone Marrow Aspiration. The whole process was pretty rough on little Hans - he just wasn't up for the not eating/waiting. When they put in the IV yesterday, they got a bad blood draw, so they had to re-stick him. At that point I had had it too. When the ladies from the lab came around, I told them they could sitck him, but they better be the best, because they only got one chance. They looked at each other and said, "Reggie". They went and got Reggie, he came in and drew the STAT sample in one shot. Poor Hans. He had a lot to go through last week. I am so pleased we just have one scan to go. Hans has traditionally done well for the Bone Scan, and he doesn't have to fast for it.
We have just been catching up on chores we didn't stay on top of during the week and trying to relax a bit at home and catch up on sleep. I am happy to lounge around with the new H. P. book, and Kevin is keeping up with the Tour de France.
Hans is sort of hobbling around like a little old man today. For the Bone Marrow Aspiration they insert hollow needles into his hip bones. I think he must be a little sore today. But, he doesn't complain of pain, and we haven't been able to convince him to take any Tylenol.
We'll keep you posted of what we learn next week.

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.
