Today: Hans is pretty happy and independent around the house. I'm happy to report he is eating and sleeping well. We got out of the house yesterday for a play date at the "new" Houston Museum of Natural Science exhibit at The Woodlands Mall. I say new, but it opened back in March of this year and we just haven't made it up there, even though we are museum members! It was pretty cool with twelve full sets of ancient dinosaur remains. They even have a Giant Sea Turtle which is very very cool. It's bigger than a small SUV. Pretty amazing! The boys got a little scared with the soundtrack that was playing in the dinosaur room. It was fun to see Hans out and about and a little bit. It was cute - as soon as we got home he took a massive 1.5 hour nap!
A year ago today: I remember we were really starting to scratch our heads about our little Hansie. Carmen offered to pick Hans up and take him to our playgroup while I got things done at home. When Carmen came back she said that Hans just wasn't himself. He kind of sat by the train table and rested. I just nodded, we had noticed the same kind of thing at home. Even at school Hans was getting time outs for being non-cooperative. This just wasn't normal for him. Our Hans was slowing down and changing. We were just hoping for some answers at our follow up visit with the Pediatric Urologist just two days away.

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.
