Hi -
So, our luck sorta ran out - We took Hans in to the ER this morning for a fever of 102.1. He was trying to get a real fever all night but it never cleared 101 'til about 6AM. We went down to the ER, where he got his port accessed - (it was actually a rather bad scene they used the wrong needle and I think we sort of excused two nurses from our room). Then, the charge nurse from the 9th floor floated down to the ER and accessed his port very smoothly. He has a bit of an ear infection, a bit of a viral infection in his chest (not pneumonia), and he is being tested for Whooping Cough/Pertusis, as well as having blood cultures grown. Yikes! Hans wasn't able to get his 4 year old boosters of immunizations due to the transplant, and right when he was cleared to get them, his NB recurred, so they say he is at risk for getting Whooping Cough which the ER nurse says is actually going around.
He was moved to the 9th floor and tonight he and daddy are having guy time up in room 904, if you want to send him a little note for tomorrow, that'd be sweet!
I think he is doing much better, and I'm just praying that he'll be treated quickly and be "outta there", as he likes to say. Also - I'm very much praying that nothing will grow in those blood cultures, but it seems like they've found enough likely causes of fever!
Thanks again for checking up on us and for your prayers and positive thoughts for our sweet little boy!

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.

Oy, oy, oy, poor little guy. And all of you, such courage and stick-to-it-iveness. Of course we are thinking of you every day, and hoping this latest setback is just a little bump in the road as so many have been. You are always with us here in Calif.!

The tallest, lankiest bear I have ever seen! He was busy turning over big rocks in hopes of discovering plump, juicy insects for his evening's feast! He was a "blond!" WHOO HOO!
