About Me

My photo
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 finally got around to posting pictures... Sorry it's a little overwhelming! Wish I had room to post more, I took more, but these kinda turned out the best...

For an NB up date: The three other children have received scan results. Sam and Will got stable results, but unfortunately Erin's scans showed some progression. Dr. Russell will have to come up with another approach so that progression halts -- we want shrinkage.

We are waiting for our news til Dr. Russell gets back from her vacation. Gustav may postpone her return to clinic - so we could be in limbo for a few more days...
I figured I better post now - Gustav is hitting somewhere. After Rita we were subject to rolling blackouts. We still need to hit the store for extra water and soup, etc., just 'in case'. Kevin should find out today if Marathon will close its doors for a day or two. Everyone down here takes hurricane preparedness pretty seriously.

Hope you are enjoying your Labor Day weekend. Take it easy! That's what it's all about.
