Hey there, Happy Thanksgiving.
So - for a little update. Things are going okay. Hans' radiation level is coming down nicely - he just checked out at 5.5 millirankins. That's great. BUT - he is having some nausea. This is usually no big deal, but with his Endocrinology issues and the Adrenal Insufficency we are sometimes chasing our tail with electrolytes if things get out of whack with vomiting. He was given an emergency injection of his hydrocortizone about an hour ago and now is sleeping it off. His blood pressure and HR have been just a bit high, so we are hoping that he levels off and self regulates here within a couple days. Due to these complications (but no fever, yay, and normal chemistries) he'll stay put at CHOP for another day or two. But, hopefully they'll remove the Foley and lift some of the restrictions in the room. It's pretty hard core in there right now.
Thanks for keeping our little cutie in your thoughts and prayers this weekend.
With 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.

Lara- I just wrote a comment, but it didin't post. Try again here. For the nausea, go get some Traditional Medicinals "Throat Coat" tea. I think originally it was designed for sore throats,but it really heals the entire intestinal tract and within 20-30 minutes seems to eliminate nausea from flu and upset stomach. I have a girl friend who used it for chemo nausea as well. Its a very very mild tea of slippery elm bark with a hint of licorice. Its not distasteful or gelatinous at all (like the ad implies). No side effects- Had one of my company staff do it for flu nausea- he was a real disbeliever- but it worked! I don't know about Hans case- but it works relatively quickly; is warm and cozy feeling and tastes good. Its mild- THeir ad says children love it. Just Google at Throat Coat tea- and it should come up.
Sending warm healing energies to Hans! Take care- Luv- Auntie Marcia- Susy's friend in CA.
