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.

Monday


We have been home all weekend.

Hans has been staying here, taking it easy at home, with Daddy.

Elle and I have made it out and about a bit more. She had a good game on Saturday. She had a quick turn in goalie with one beautiful belly dive save. They didn't quite win, just lost by one, but that's not what it's all about, right?

We also made it out to Octoberfest at SSJ yesterday. Elle won third place in the costume contest for her age group. It doesn't hurt her odds that the total number of entrants in the 11-14 y.o. age group drops off a bit from the younger age groups. Here she is as A 50's Sock Hop Girl.

We have an office visit with Dr. Russell tomorrow mid-morning. Hopefully we'll have some results. Praying that this thing is somehow treatable!

OH, ELLE...you are the PERFECT sock hop princess! I wish I had been there!

Yes, we all pray that Hans' arm can be treated swiftly!

AND...I noticed the balmy weather in the backgroud Elle's photo...how I miss fall...it is winter today...clear and bright, but a chilly 41 degrees with a brisk wind! 2 inches of snow last night...brrrrrr!

Love and hugs...all the way around!

I hadn't checked in a while - I'm so sorry that you've had these recent "interesting" times. Hope the MRI results give you a good diagnosis.
Elle looks great - well, so does Hans. Hugs,
