About Me

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.

Hans Pics




I tried once again today to get a picture of Hans' hair. He just found this clown nose and loves it! His hair is fine and soft and rather hard to photograph! But it looks good and I love it. We have a clinic visit tomorrow and we should find out Hans' counts and the labwork from the Kidney Test. Hopefully we'll come home tomorrow knowing the new plan. Praying for the best! Hans is on day 19 of 21 days of chemo. I'm very curious to see what his counts look like, especially after missing his appointment last week.
Poor Elle tried to go have a little fun with her friend Erin at the Water Slides in Galveston, but she got sick with something (who knows, maybe slight dehydration or heat stroke???) and was brought home early! It was nice of Marianne to get her all the way to Houston where Kevin could pick her up and bring her home. Thanks!

Keep up the good "counts" Hans! We enjoy seeing the pictures, and smile when we see the children's smiles. We continue to check the blogspot each morning, and send thoughts and prayers.
Hugs to all,
Auntie Irma and Uncle Reino
