About Me

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.

Off We Go

Hey Everyone -

I just needed to post a superquick post. We had a FABULOUS time at the best water park in the world (I'm not kidding, it really is the coolest, old water park I've ever seen - it's built up and around the Comal River and natural surroundings.) Thank you Sunshine Kids and Schlitterbahn for sponsoring us and 49 other families of cancer kids on this memorable weekend! Sweet!

However, the tides turned for us about 11am on Sunday, when Elle apparently came down with a stomach flu. With tickets out of Houston to Philly for Monday, we proceeded to load the car and go (stopping 4 times to let her get everything out of her system.) We are totally unsure if Hans isn't coming down with the same thing. So, we got all the way back here, and decided to push our Philly tics back a day and we leave early today.

Thanks to Mona and Ken Draper (Kae's parents) for opening up their doors to host Elle at the last minute. She's all better now and will go to school today. Elle had planned to stay with her girlfriend Genna, but Genna was running a high fever yesterday. We have been hoppin' around here. Hope to post more with great news tomorrow. Thank you for your prayers for those pretty, clean scans!!!

Love, Lara

You've got big prayers coming your way from the Thweatt house! Good luck and I'm sure Hans will look as beautiful on the inside as he does on the outside!
love, Sarah
