Hi -
So - first, I'll update on yesterday - we were in and out of there with a quick office visit, I got all my questions answered by Dr. R. I have a rough timeline of the next three rounds of chemo. We will start Monday. His counts are all looking good! He was in great shape.
And then...
Today he woke up normally. He wanted his regular breakfast. But, he didn't eat any of it. All he wanted to do was rock with mommy and then lounge around on the couch. We quickly got meds in him and I took his temp. It hit the exact witching mark of 101.0. So - cancel the swimming plans, call the docs, reserve a room in triage -- relatively good news - avoid the ER. And then, once in clinic, the fever never came back. I am telling myself that the best kind of fever to have is a fake fever. He was given an IV antibotic (he is becoming better and better at having his port accessed and de-accessed). Then, surprisingly, we were able to come home. Hans' ANC (a white count component) was high enough for him to be sent home! We will probably treat him pretty gingerly this weekend -so I guess it's good that we went out and had all of the fun last weekend.
Let's hope for no more fever, and that nothing grows in his cultures!
I did get a chance to see our cute little friend Erin B. yesterday - she got good news of significant shrinkage!!!
Off to Elle's Girl Scout Twilight Camp week-end presentation. I am happy that we are able to make it.

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.
