Wow - it has only been about 24 hrs since my last post, but - geez - we took a turn! Hans woke up with fever at about 3:30 am and we were on our way to TCH by 4 am. We got here and Hans' fever just hovered around 103 for about 14 hours. It seems to have finally broke. The poor little guy was just wiped out - he slept and burnt up all day long. But, now he's looking better.
We did get some other concerning news, though. They wanted to do a chest x-ray to look for pneumonia. That was clear, but a bit of his right arm/shoulder showed up on the slide. The Radiologist detected a likely fracture in the area where tumor is involved. That's about all we know now. Hans will do more xrays tomorrow and will meet with ortho surgery to be fitted in a sling. We knew his arm was hurting - but I guess this tells us a lot more... I think we're all ready for a bit of good news.
The plan is to stay put up here for at least 72 hours.
Fortunately, Elle is safely away from it all on a long weekend with Kevin's mom's side of the family in Scottsdale for Kev's cousin Jessa's HS Graduation. Congrats, Jessa! Thanks to Grandma Kathy, Aunt Holly, Uncle Michael, Aunt Susy, Aunt Debi, Uncle Mark and KK for taking great care of her. Say hi to Great Grandma and Great Grandpa for us.
Lara - Kevin - and Hans
ps - must thanks the Nolens and Sweebes for helping out with Honey and Carm for thinking of our kitties who I actually forgot!
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.

I step away from my computer for two days and find that the Weberlings have been thrown another loop. I sure hope you can pop Hans out of Chez TCH soon. I'm sure you all had relaxing weekend plans and a fever was not on the script.
Thinking about you all and wishing you were home.

We are praying for you all. I hope by the time this posts Hans is improving. I'm sure you and Kevin are exhausted as well as our little trooper. Love Cindy
