What a week...
We're now safe and dry in Scottsdale. We are framing it as an early spring break. We get to hang out with KK, and Debi and Mark, and the boxers Harley and baby Gabby and the cat J2. Our house has some sturctural damage - but it's habitable. I have to confess - if you live on our block or in The Woodlands - I was wishing this would have happened to you, not us! But now I realize that a handful of our friends and neighbors do have trees on their houses as well! So, we'll all deal with it. I was pretty much a disaster on Saturday morning, but now we're just adding it to the list. My mom was able to contact the insurance and they gave us a five day estimate for getting to our house. Thanks to Mark and Debi who flew us outta there to get away from the storm. Kevin and I were a little worried about how Hans would fare for an extended period of time w/o power. He's fine though, he did okay. But now he's beside himself to be on vacation!
The 'real' problem we are facing is the Neuroblastoma. As soon as I was able to get online this morning, I learned that we lost Chloe Parker this week. We were in the room next door to her on Thursday/Friday on the 9th floor. Her NB progressed and took over organ function in the previous 2 days. We are so sorry for her family. She was a strong willed and incredible little girl! Thanks for any prayers you can offer for her family at this terrible time.

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.

Love to Kevin in The Woodlands...be safe!

Hi Hans,

Glad you made it to what Kathy and I refer to as "The Siefertson Spa". Relax and have a great time. I'm sure all of the Scottsdale family is very happy to have you all there. Too bad Kevin has to stay and deal with a mess.
So sorry to hear about Chloe. Prayers to all of these children and their families.
Love Aunt Holly and Uncle Michael
I can only imagine what your thougts were through all of it. I am so happy that you had a place that you could get to so Han's could get the necessary treatment/tests that he needs. Keep the faith and remember that my prayers go with you where ever you are.
My heart and prayers go out to little Chloe's family.
Keep posting as often as you can.

Think of this as Hans' Make-A-Wish trip that you weren't able to take! I always wish to go to Mark and Debi's!
Have fun,

Good to know Hans is doing well with all that is going on! I hope Kevin can work it out in the woodlands so you can come back quick.
Kiss Hans and Elle
