The Radiation Express...Choo!! Choo!!

Alllllll Aboooooooard......The express Radiation train has now left the station! I say express because KK's treatments are only 8 minutes in duration. And I bet they wish they could take the train... Today was the first of 10 days of radiation treatments at the UW Medical Center . The appointment went well, as we all expected. KK's a Superstar of course! Today was also the 1st day that he had to take some pain medications for his leg, but that is normal as most patients have already been taking loads of them by this time, so don't you dare get derailed!! Ok, chugga chugga we're pulling out of the UW...next stop on the route today: The vampire depot AKA Children's Lab for blood work. KK's still doing great and impressing Dr's with his high numbers. It was then time for the train to make a detour to talk with the Dr. about how things are going. Everyone is still impressed and the treatment is going better then planned. The next round of inpatient Chemo starts next week with blood work on Monday after Radiation and then Chemo on Tuesday. Unfortunately the appointments took most of the day and Kelton wasn't able to go to school today,but he did wave from the caboose as they passed by Horizon. They fully expect to be at school after radiation treatments each morning the rest of this week. KK gets so much energy from the love, thoughts and prayers of his classmates! Thank you everyone for all you continue to do for Kelton. The bills are just now starting to arrive and insurance does not cover more then expected so please be sure to pass on the website to all your friends and let's see if we can create more financial support for this wonderful family! Send any ideas you have to idea@keltonlittle.com and please keep visiting the guestbook :-) KK reads it daily and uses that energy to keep fighting this disease that should be tied to the tracks and run over by this train!

Next update will probably be Friday evening unless there's something significant to report.. Until then keep the "Kickin' the Kancer" train on the right track with the positive energy!!

All Aboooooard ..this train has left the station..until next time, keep on track :-)
