About Me

My photo
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 takes a leap!

Here's Hans jumping to me at Ryan's Grandma's house last week. I thought he was feeling punky on his Accutane but he sure wasn't. He really rose to the occasion - his first time swimming in couple of weeks. He has been "off" Accutane since Monday. It's nice - but with the fever he had, we've had to triple him up on his steroids, and now we're weaning him off, hoping to get him back to Normal... thankfully, he hasn't had more fever.

We're having fun with Grandma Kathy! Hans worked a trip to Johnny Rocket's out of her for lunch today:)
