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.

A few pictures






















A few pictures, from Oktoberfest at church saturday with Carmen, Jim, Ryan, Michael, Ginger, Adrian and Morgan, Elle and me. Elle and Ryan participated in the banana split eating contest and Michael won the costume contest! (Kevin and Hans stayed home.) And then a couple at the park and then Carlie's Fundraiser at Dosey Doe's Restaurant with Carmen's mom, Monte, too. Kev was there - we just didn't catch him on film!

No news on the bone marrow yet - hopefully it'll be good news when we get it. Hans just started round three of Accutane yesterday at an increased dose of 50% more. Hopefully that'll be okay for him. Accutane is pretty rough on him, and it's hard for us to see him on it! Thankfully, after this round we're halfway through it!
For Halloween, Hans is going to be Buzz Lightyear and Elle will be Elizabeth Swan (from Pirates of the Carribean).
Our camera pooped out on us, so we're begging and borrowing photos from friends for now! Thanks Carmen for these, and I think Michelle will send some along from Saturday, too!
