Wow - we had a little excitement around here this week. Thankfully, it had nothing to do with Hans. One of our cats, Orange (Hans' favorite), must have gotten hit by a car on Tuesday morning. He was acting strange and not walking right. But, he managed to crawl up under the deck. Kev had to pry up a deck board to get him out so we could get him to the vet. Xrays revealed a fractured pelvis. They kept him in "intensive care" overnight to see if he was going to make it. Fortunately, he pulled through. Now we have him crated and he has to live in there for 6 weeks to allow his pelvis to heal. Poor kitty. He's on a Fentanyl patch and we'll have to give him oral narcotics for a while. Geez! Thanks, Ginger, for loaning us a crate and an extra kitty box and saving me a trip to the store!
Other than that, Hans is still holding his own with 3.5 days to go on Accutane for this round.
It's nice to have such great help with Hans' LFL campaign. Thanks to everyone helping us pass out bags all over the place:
The Woodlands, TX, Raton, NM, Chicago, IL, Scottsdale, AZ, Santa Cruz, CA, Portland, OR, Seattle, WA, Edmonds, WA, Bellingham, WA, Ellensburg, WA and Mattawa, WA. It's pretty cool to see Hans' tree grow. I'm going to order more bags next week, so please let me know if you want more.
Our wonderful neighbors are throwing a Lunch for Life Block Party/Potluck for Hans on Sunday. We're all really looking forward to it and I hope to have pictures to post for you soon.
Elle is doing great and we're enjoying a week of light homework after progress reports came out last week. She's doing well and has worked hard in 3rd grade. She's learned all the lowercase cursive letters and they're about to begin both uppercase letters and multiplication! She's getting so grown up!

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.
