Post Chemo Day 1 Update

Kelton's home!! Celebrate good times COME ON!! Now that you've all got that song stuck in your heads, humming along the dah dah dah part while reading, I can guarantee each of you that Richard, Alanna and KK are snoozing their heinies off right about now! They got home today around 5:30 PM from Children's after an extremely long day yesterday and a mostly sleepless night last night. Today, they had to wait for KK to be able to keep food down and tweak the anti-nausea medications to help him through. He saw his PT lady again and they put him through a series of tests to get baseline info on his range of motion so they can monitor throughout the process. The Dr's also told them that they hadn't anticipated Kelton doing so well with his appetite and thirst. They normally expect and see people that don't eat or drink and just get their fluids via IV but KK did great in that regard, Way to go KK just like the old man for sure ;-) I also hear that a smile and laugh came from KK when he woke at one point last night and saw that Uncle D's special balloon was a huge My pretty pony :-) Silly D, it did the trick, you always know how to get KK to grin and we love you for that!

Well, once they got the go ahead for discharge today you'd think that KK was shot from a cannon.. he took off down the hall on his crutches like his head was on fire and his behind was a'catchin'. Alanna said he didn't slow down 'til he got to the car which, folks, was probably 3/4 of a mile away, no lie!!

Once at home KK ate and kept everything down just fine, played some and was out like a light with Richard and Alanna not far behind. Welcome home Little Family!
KK's expected to be weak and some nausea for the next couple days but they expect the brave young man should be back to 100% on Friday.

The next appointment is on Monday for blood work and round two of Chemo. I guess it wanted a rematch, eventually we will crown KK King of the ring and undisputed champion but there are a few more battles yet to fight. We're all very proud of you Kelton!

the websites been updated with a page for KK's Kancer Kickin' Kwilt so check that out there's a date to keep!

Until Next time, Keep those goood goood goood gooood vibrations coming :-)


Uncle Mike, Out

(Bet you never knew you could get two songs stuck in your head at once)
