Wow! What a Weekend!

Okay - this time I mean that in both a good and a not-so-good way.

I'll do the not-so-good first: Hans woke up groggy and out of it on Sunday and we checked his

blood glucose and it was at 31! Dang - had to call 911 and rush off to the ER. He remained awake and stable and mostly with it- just a six hour tour of the St. Luke's at the Woodlands ER. It was our first time receiving treatment outside of TCH and that part actually went okay. We're working on getting him seen this morning and getting more clues on how to prevent these episodes... He had a slight cold, but had just checked out at the pediatrician on Friday with no ear infection and no fever...

Unfortunately, Hans had to miss his big Lunch for Life Block Party:( But, we all had fun! And our amazing neighbors raised $500 for Neuroblastoma Research and we had an awesome time. The big organizers of the bock party, Mark and Michelle Nolen (in kahootz with Kevin and Elle) gave me the surprise of a lifetime. They arranged to have my mom fly out for the party on a buddy pass! (Mark is a pilot for Continental.) Was I surprised! And, it worked out perfectly that my mom was here to take care of Elle while we took Hans up to the ER. He was discharged by 2:30pm and we were all able to do a shift at the party! Hans was fine at home, he was stable by the afternoon. Right now he is playing in his new sandbox. It was supposed to be a big surprise for the block party. Michelle's parents, Mathilda and Lonnie Minz got it for him since he had so much fun with Jack's over at their house. (Two weeks ago at baby Josh's christening party, Hans played in their sandbox for seriously 3 1/2 hours straight. That's when Mathilda decided she was getting Hans one of his own!) Pretty incredible family. We are fortunate to be blessed with many sweet neighbors. Everyone pitched in for food. Becky did a beautiful Lemonade stand, and Michaella and Tyson provided a bouncy house! So cool...Above!
