Clearly, the force is with Hans (looking a little like a young Yoda these days with his new 'do) - as you can see in this 30 second video clip with one of his favorite christmas gifts- his first ever light saber. And, despite the fact that he is losing his pants like an Abercrombie Model, he has fully gained back the 2lbs. he lost up in Philly. You can see Elle in the background putting stickers on her guitar hero guitar. We have all been having fun with that!
Dare I say we have turned a corner?? I think it could be true! Hans' ANC was up at a glorious 2,000. His Hemoglobin is Hans' normal high of 12.6, and his Platelets are recovering at 51! I was sooo pleased to cancel our slot for a platelet transfusion yesterday and go home:)
My mom left last night - and at this point I HOPE she made it home safely, despite all the continually falling snow up in Seattle. I don't want to call yet to make sure, I hope she is sleeping in.
We have each fought off a little cold now, so hopefully that's behind us and we can have some fun and get this place back in shape with the rest of our break. Kevin gets to enjoy some time off now, too. I asked the kids what they wanted to do with their break - Elle asked to go to Build a Bear, and Hans wants to go bowlng and 'Pooling' - (play pool).
That's the update for now. All of the families going through the holidays without their precious little ones are certainly in our thoughts and prayers at this time.

I think the 'force' has always been with Hans!
Love, G.Kathy, G. Dale xoxo
I think all of that dancing has prepped Hans for light saber moves - he really knows how to handle that thing...keep your distance. Now we need Elle's guitar moves on video :)
So glad to hear Hans counts are good and you all get to spend some fun time together during the break.
Love, hugs and prayers,
Aunt Holly and Uncle Michael
Erin also had her light saber out over the holidays. . .probably the day her platelets were headed towards 10K.
We are still trying to get scans schedule (I have been hoping for the 2nd so Erin doesn't have to miss school).
We have been blissfully at home since December 15.
I hope that you can all begin enjoying what I know is going to be NED for Hans, and especially move beyond the side effects of treatment.
