Hi!
I was hoping to post with news about Hans' counts, but we won't be getting them today. We set out for the clinic today and it was pretty clear. But by the time we got to downtown (about 10:30) huge black clouds had formed. There wasn't any wind, just lots and lots of rain and lightning/thunder. We turned off the freeway to approach the med center and Holcombe had high water - it was hitting the body of some of the sedans I saw in the intersection. I made a U-turn and tried to backtrack and come in up MacGregor. Same thing. So, we just called it a day and headed home. I didn't want to try to make it through the water and then find we couldn't get out later. Houston streets have a real danger of flash floods and people drown all the time trying to clear water they think is lower than it is.
Hans seems to be doing just as well as he was last week. So - I hope his counts are still good. I left messages for everyone to see if they thought I should come in early or wait until next week. It feels really funny - we've never missed one of Hans' appointments yet!
Houston commuters (including Kevin) are going to have a tough trip home tonight. I hope everyone makes it home okay... I hope this hurricane season will be genlter than everyone anticipates for EVERYONE!

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.
