Hi -
It's been a few days since I've posted but I just have random updates. We have had a medically uneventful week and weekend and will go into clinic 5 straight days tomorrow for Topo/Cytox and an infusion of Zometa.
-His isolation status has been lifted, so he has gone swimming/jumping off diving boards/Chuck E Cheesin' it, and all the last several days. We're happy he won't be sequestered to a small room all week for chemo.
-Honey now outweighs Hans at 36 lbs, though Hans is right behind her at almost 33lbs. Hans and I took her in for a shot on Friday and Hans was beside himself that it wasn't his appt. He loves it when anybody else in the family has to get a shot. I guess it's his cheap thrills. He also was an excellent helper giving Honey her heart worm and flea meds. He helped me track down all three cats today to apply their advantage. He's a little vet tech!
-The Great News I've heard recently is that The Carolyn Price Walker Conquer Childhood Cancer Act passed unanimously in the Senate. There was a lot of talk and concern that a secret hold had been placed on it and that it would die before getting to a vote, but thankfully, no, now we just need W to sign off, (I think)!
-We got the news that our dear friends Megan and Phil delivered baby Desmond into the world on Weds. He just missed sharing Hans' bday by less than three hours.
-Elle got bumped to first class on her red eye flight to Seattle - she loved that! She has been having fun with Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Dale.
-Hans and Kev and I booked tickets for a quick crazy trip to Seattle between rounds 4 and 5!
-Also, I've been wanting to share some good news about some of the TCH kiddos - Will and Roman from The Woodlands as well, are doing great and have remained NED, Patrick just got great news on scans this week. There is a little girl, Layla, just starting out on Accutane who is NED but is having an arm pain scare. Let's pray it's nothing. John T has scans this week - hoping for prefectly, clear NED!!!
-Finally, I got surprise photos from a friend of a friend, that Aunica was inspired by Elle to donate her hair to locks of love! Way to go, you sweetheart. I just love these stories. Thanks for sharing your pretty hair, and your pics with me. - darn, I tried to post, but i couldn't make it work...
Okay - that's all for tonight. I'll post later in the week with a CHEMO update!
Love, Lara
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.

So pleased to learn ALL of you will be able to journey to Seattle...I know there are many fans eagerly awaiting your arrival!
May your 5 days in clinic be smooth as silk, and it is great to hear good news re: all of the kiddos!
Sure could use Hans vet tech skills next week...my horse, Buzzy, has a dental appointment with his favorite vet!
Love and hugs,
Aunt Susy
