Hi,
Our trip downtown was pretty uneventful today! We were able to stop and eat lunch with Kevin at his work. Hans got a kick out of that until it was time for us to go and Kevin to stay. But, he took it pretty well. Would you believe we were in and out of TCH in 45 minutes today? That's very fast! Hans had to get a shot today of radioactive medicine for his scan tomorrow. He did okay - he does get upset right at the moment saying "it will hurt, it will hurt" but then he stops crying almost as soon as it is over. They did a good job of getting it done quickly today!
It's actually starting to cool down a little around here. It was 68 when I left the house for my walk this morning! And, I actually got to wear a sweatshirt on the bike ride to school! We are also noticing lots of Monarch butterflies. They are migrating south and some of them happen to go through The Woodlands. So, that's fun!
Our friend Charon Edginton, Carlie's mom, is putting on a fundraiser for Neuroblastoma right here in The Woodlands on Oct. 21st from 4 - 7 pm. There will be food and music and our doctor will even be there to give a brief 15 minute talk on NB research. All funds raised will go right to NB research at TCH. I'm excited - I think this will be the perfect place to be as we mark the one year anniversary of Hans' fateful first trip to the TCH ER, where we first heard the words, "Large Abdominal Tumor," "Cancer." I'll keep the blog posted with more information on ticket price, etc. as I get it. It'd be great to see familiar faces there!
I'll let you know how tomorrow goes and will post more about 10/4/06 tomorrow...

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.
