Well KK's been off of the Clinical Trial Chemo now for about days and the blisters are healing well and his Blood Pressure is back down to normal. He's a super trooper!! They find out when they will be going back on the chemo, at a lower dosage, next week. I'm sure he's not looking forward to that, but it's amazing the help they are providing to cancer research and hopefully blistering this cancers Heine at the same time. Hang in there KK and all you loyal readers thank you for the 2 out rally!! The positive thoughts, prayers and guestbook entries really helped KK get through this tough patch and I and the family thank you all! It's a long tough battle but KK is strong and tough! I'll update again with more in fo when I get it..
oh and be sure to root for the Seahawks on Sunday! The staff at Children's, gave KK tickets to the game and he gets to meet Craig Terrel after the game too!! so we need to be sure that the Seahawks win so that big boy Craig isn't to scary after the game!

Update 9/16/08 - Clinical Trial
Dear KK Fans, I haven't updated in awhile as there were some changes to treatment options for KK that we were waiting to see somethings... well at the last minute before they were to begin the next step in KK's treatment that consisted of taking out one lobe of his lung and more chemo and some laser ablations of tumors they got a call from their team at Children's. The team had found a new clinical trial that had jsut opened for kids and that KK was eligible for it. They had to make a snap decision in two days, so we had a bit of a family meeting and everyone agreed that the trial was the way to go but ultimately it was Alanna and Richards tough decision. They chose to enroll KK in the trial. The trial consists of a ton of tests and a daily chemo pill with the potential for some not pleasant side effects. The first phase of the trial that KK was enrolled in was to study some of the side effects but also to find the correct dosages for kids with this particual type of drug as it has been very successful in treating some cancers like Kelton's. He's been on it now for a few weeks and the side effects are much worse then expected. KK is in constant pain with blisters and sores on his hands, feet and face and his Blood pressure is very high. He's on pain medication, but even that doesn't help much. They have now stopped the medication to let him heal the sores and blisters and then they will start a lower dosage. They don't know if the drug is doing what it's supposed to yet as they haven't had any scans to find out. Everyone please pass the word that KK and family need your support, love and prayers to help them through this tough times. I'll update again when we know more, until then make a deal with yourslef to visit the site, and resend it to your friends to drop by the guestbook and send your positive energy to KK, Richard and Alanna.

Cancer Kickin' Update
So they talked to the Dr. today and got an update, I'll start with the good news and that is that the cancer in KK's Leg is gone! It is still active in his lungs but the chemo that they were on did a good job of - in firefighters terms a "quick knock down" which is what that particular type of chemo is for. So it did it's job and they are done with that particular "flavor". The family is meeting with the Dr's next Thursday to find out the next step be that surgery to remove the lower lobe of his lung or do a fancy new laser procedure to burn out the nodules or a new flavor of chemo or any combination thereof.... so keep on Kickin' it KK and keep the positive eneergy flowing for KK!!! Next update after they meet with the Drs next week!

PET Scan results and Biopsy 8/25
As everyone knows KK had his 1st PET scan on Monday last week. They got the results of that today along with having a biopsy done on a nodule in his lung. So the results of the PET scan still show cancer cell activity in the nodules (tumors) in his lungs, and maybe also in the original location of the cancer, but because this was his 1st PET scan they can't say for sure as they don't have anything to compare it with. But good news is that a tumor in his lung has shrunk from 19mm to 17mm, and no mention of any cancer in his kidneys or bones!!
They did a biopsy as well today on a large nodule in his lung and should get the results of that tomorrow when they hear from the Dr. Not sure if you all recall, but the last biopsy KK had done, he ended up with bleeding in his lung and in the ICU, well we all know that KK is a super trooper and a quick learner so he must have used his super ninja-like powers this time as there was very little bleeding and it stopped right away and he was able to go home this afternoon and is doing just fine and is in good spirits. So once they get the results from the biopsy today (they said tomorrow, but we know how that goes right?) they will also have a plan of attack to complete the can of whoop-a$$ that KK and the Dr's have opened up on this Cancer! So, I'll update again as soon as we hear the results and have the plan, fingers crossed for tomorrow!! Keep Kickin' it KK!! and All you dedicated readers keep the positivity and prayers flowing!!
Until next update,
Uncle Mike
P.S. Today is Richard's Birthday too BTW!! Happy Birthday Richie!!

Update 8/22/08
Hello loyal readers, KK had his PET scan on Monday , but they haven't yet gotten the results yet. They are going ahead with the biopsy on Monday and unfortunatley they suspect that it will cause some bleeding in his lung and will most likely have to move him to the ICU after the procedure, but it is a nessecary procedure in order to see for sure if the tumors are dead from the inside. keep KK andn the family in your thoughts and prayers. I'll post another update on Monday evening with an update on how KK is doing. There are some new pictures in the Gallery of last weekends camping trip to Camano Island State park, it was so nice that we're going back this weekend!
Talk to you all again on Monday!
Uncle Mike
Talk to you all again on Monday!

Post Scan Update 8/11/08
Hi All! As promised here's the update for after the scans today. The results are the same as his last set of scans. KK is clear of all tumors with the excpetion of the tumors in his lungs. They haven't changed in size at all either way. The Dr's think that they died from the inside out and they are taking that info to the tumor board tomorrow to review the case. After the meeting of the board tomorrow they will decide when to do the biopsy to find out if that is for sure true and what the next steps are. They have put his next chemo treatment on hold until they know more. Keep your positive thoughts working for KK and his family!!!! I'll update again tomorrow with the news that we KNOW and BELIEVE will be good!!

Update 8/4/08
Hi All, I hope you're having a wonderful summer so far! KK's doing pretty good, physically doing well. This past weekend was rough emotionally as the memorial for Erin, KK's Grandpa (Alanna's Dad) was this weekend. But as far as KK's treatments, round 6 is complete! They go in for scans on the 11th, then regardless of the outcome of those scans, he gets 2 more rounds of Chemo. He's down in Vancouver, WA enjoying time with Gramma Lola who is an amazing woman. I'll give a better update after the scans on the 11th.
Thanks for checking in!

Over the river and through the woods to Michele’s house we go!! Update, and the Eagerly Awaited INTERVIEW with KK!!
So we made the trek to Michele’s house and couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day! Picture a drive down a single lane gravel road through the woods about 2 miles, as you bump down the road you’re wondering if you’re going the right way and out of nowhere pops a fluorescent PINK sign that says this way to Kick it for KK!! So you keep on driving down the road and all the sudden it opens up to a gorgeous pasture with a fenced pond in the middle full of tadpoles with clover surrounding it. There’s a perfectly manicured, circular driveway with a beautifully landscaped center piece. So we parked and went up to the amazing home and around the back, where the pool and hot tub sit next to the gazebo(s) and the huge deck, surrounded and nicely shaded by cozy forest creating the perfect combination of sun and shade and friendly folk!
They had lots of tables and chairs set up thanks to Big Country Jeff, Adam and Brett! The weather was perfect, the location was amazingly beautiful and the people, I don’t think there are words to express how warm, generous and fun everyone was! The party got fully underway around 4PM. The tables and chair rentals were donated by Hertz rentals. I think they had seating for around 200, we ended up with about 40 people altogether, just right as far as everyone there was concerned! Any number was just right as it was an awesome time and any of you that missed it, missed out on a fabulous time, some incredible food and fabulous entertainment.
So for the goodies….. let’s see there was an fabulous “gravy” that you ladled onto heaping mounds of spaghetti made by Auntie “Spumoni” Marcy, Adam made a perfect Linguine in Cream sauce and an Italian pasta salad that was to die for! Everyone got more then full, they got Italian full!! There was more bread, salad and wings then even I could eat!
The main festivities started off with people looking at, and signing up for the silent auction items, then the 50/50 raffle which was won by Uncle Robert so he could then turn around and spend it all on the live auction!!! Then the silent auction closed for bids.
There were some incredible items I must say. Pam Allen (Adam and Michele’s Sister) Because we know better then her telling us she was their Mom.. she was much too young to really be their Mom, donated some of her custom flower and collage art collection, these were amazingly created by this very talented lady, each piece completely custom made and priceless! Also in the silent auction were lots of bath goodies, and a custom coloring donated by Auntie Ya YA!
Then we moved on to the “Live auction” with the Auctioneer team of Adam and Vicki Allen. 10 dollar , 10 dollar do I hear 15, 15 howbouta 12.50 I have a bid of 15 dollars do I hear 20 …15 going once twice SOLD to Robert for 15 dollars ( or more) was the sound heard most often! It was very competitive on several of the donated items! I’ll get back to that in a minute.....
but I wanted to break here and thank just some of the donors for the auctions:
Shelly Landreth, Pam Allen, Adam and Viki Allen, Big Country Jeff donated a ton of autographed sports memorabilia, Michele and Brett Cree , My Cousin Niki From Kansas donated 50$ worth of Partylite, My lovely Fiancée donated some Starbucks goodies, The Buzz Inn Steak house donated a $50 gift Certificate and there were some other donation’s but I’m not sure where they came from, my apologies but Thank you all!!!
So, Back to the bidding… there were several “contentious” items that really got the crowd going and kept Adam pretty busy with keeping track of the bidding.. some of these items were:
A Jay Buhner signed hard hat from when Safeco Field was being constructed!
A steamer?? I think it steams clothes or carpets or something.. no clue actually but all the ladies wanted it and it nearly became violent LOL!
There was also a phantom bidding instigator in the crowd, this guy paid attention to things that were the “hot” items and I ..oops I mean he , yeah “he” that’s the ticket… did some “competitive” bids to get some prices a bit higher ;-) The auction was a ton of fun and quite a success!!
The Next event of the evening was actually 2 events... the All Star Poker Tourney and KK riding the Quad!! Both were exciting in their own ways. The quad ride was a blast for KK and Michele, and fun for everyone else to watch and the ALL STAR POKER TOURNEY was a blast as well. The final table ended at about 11PM with the Champion being Adam Allen, they kept it in the family with 2nd place being Vicki Allen. I was lucky enough to place 3rd, 4th was Big Country Jeff, 5th Was Uncle Robert and 6th taken out by me and I felt terrible about it…was Richard. Congratulations to Adam and all the final table crowd (wink wink).
While the Poker players had cards and chips flying, the "Band room" was ROCKIN'! with an insanely awesome layout of about a 62” projected game of ROCK BAND with an actual (game style) drum set, Bass, Guitar and Microphone, surround sound and stage lighting (for real!!) the rest of the party goers were rockin’ out and competing in a battle of the bands. Michele had the microphone for most of the songs, and she really rocked it… Auntie Spumoni was literally boo’d off stage by the game for her singing…and Auntie Christy Rocked it on the Bass and got a 96% score w00t, you go Girlfriend!! You all already know that KK ROCKED IT OUT on the guitar, he’s a true pro at it and I doubt he had less then a 95% for every song and he was playin’ in “HARD” mode WOW. Brett also offered to teach KK how to play a real guitar and he may get taken up on that! So all in all the party was a huge success, raising over $1500 for the family and just a general blast! A night full of family fun times. Again we want to thank everyone that attended and our gracious hosts and all the helpers!! Thanks so much, let’s do it again soon! Check out the Party pictures in the Gallery!
So now I’ll give you all a quick update on KK he’s still feelin’ pretty good though he’s still coping with the loss of his Grandpa, the party was a nice boost to his spirits. He’s going on round 6 of his Chemo this week and will get more scans after round 8.
We all spent Sunday at Howarth Park in Everett this was another fun filled family day, and to best describe it you just need look at the pictures in the Gallery on this one. They say a picture says a thousand words and that couldn’t be more true then for these pictures!! Check them out! And if you've never been to Howarth Park.. um.. don't go there, there's nothing there, tell all your friends that it's trashy and gross and make sure they tell everyone they know to stay away because it's horrible.. ok ok fine actually it's all of those things.... on Opposite day!! It's a spectacular beach park!

'Cause I gotta have faith-ah- faith-ah FAITH!! ahhh..
Well I guess it would be nice... if I could type somebody.. I know not everybody has got a 'puter like you... but I gotta think twice, before I type my hands away...
So the long awaited post about the George Michael Concert!!! OK so for those that don't know, Richard is a George Michael Fan, did I say fan, well you know fan is short for FANATIC .. that's defined by old Webster as:
fa·nat·ic Pronunciation[fuh-nat-ik]
–noun 1. a person with an extreme and uncritical enthusiasm or zeal, as in religion or politics.
Synonyms of FANATIC are: crazy, devotee, extremist, fiend, maniac, radical, ultra, visionary, zealot .....
So he's not just a "fan"!!! And because Richie is a FANATIC, everyone that "hangs" with him or is related to him is required to be a fan as well.
Richie knows every word to every song, and every version of every song, including all the duets, the sound track only releases etc..you get the point, Richie LOVES George Michael and so by association so do all of "us". Including KK so since this is KK's blog, I talked to KK about the concert and what he thought of it. He said it was very cool and real fun. KK's favorite part about the concert was seeing how his Dad reacted, KK liked seeing his Dad happy and thought it was funny how Richie reacted to Georgie boy, he said the at first Richard sat down at first but when George came out he leaped of his seat!
So it seems that the concert was a great thing, that's KK take on it. I also talked to Uncle D who went and I asked him to give me a "report" on the concert so I could write this blog entry and guess what Uncle D sent me.... well he sent me the 4 pictures that you can see in the Gallery, and he sent me a picture mail to my phone the night of the show, but you are all wanting to know what was in his report right? Wellll, I wouildn't be Uncle Mike If there wasn't some suspense and excitment inthe blog right??? Right, so I'm going to save Uncle D's report on the show until the end, 'cause it's soooo good it's gotta wait, Saving the best for last, perhaps....
KK's favorite song from the concert was Freedom, it was the 1st Encore performance and they all loved it. He also wanted everyone to know that no matter what you may hear, his Dad did NOT cry ! I tried to get Richard's favorite part about the concert but he had a hard time verbalizing what was the best....I held the phone away from my ear for 10 mins (like you do when you talk to your Mom ya know?) just moving it back to your mouth to say "uh-huh" or "really?" "wow" "that's cool" and after about 10 mins about the concert... I reeled him back in and tried to get him to mention just his favorite part... he couldn't'.. It was "everything", he loved it all, but mostly he loved spending that time with his family together :-) Glad you had fun Richie!
While I had KK on the phone I got a live update from him on how he's doing and to quote him or maybe that was Tony the Tiger... "I feel GRRRRRRREAT!" he was feeling pretty poorly last week and through the weekend. Hehad Chemo Yesterday but is feeling really good today , no pain in his leg or anything! So a good day!!
The Little's did lose Alanna's Dad this weekend though, sadly he succumbed to his cancer and passed on Sunday. He had been through many rounds of Chemo and radiation and had suffered quite a lot. He was under hospice care and with his wife, Alanna's Mom, Lola when he passed peacefully. Alanna is down in Vancouver with her Mom and Richard and KK are home. We all send our love and hugs to Alanna, Lola and everyone in their family. Erin was an amazing man, I only got to meet him a few times, the most memorable for me was at Children's when KK had his first surgery and He and I sat and talked for a couple of hours, I was thrilled to hear about his Life, he truly had an amazing life from start to finish and from what I know of him, he had no regrets and was extremely proud of all of his kids for all they have accomplished. He will be missed and remembered fondly for all of his wonderful actions. You may see a write up on his life here.
On a brighter note, there is a PARTY this weekend!! A fundraiser Poker tournament and auction, check out the events page and please SHOW UP so KK can woop ya in Poker... I'm not sure what all will be auctioned off, but I do know there will be some cool Starbucks items ( not sonics gear) as part of the auction or raffle! So haul your whole family on down to Lake Stevens for the PAAAARRTTTTAY!! Looks like the weather will be gorgeous too so no excuses, as the God Father would say... Dooooo ittt!
OK that's all for now ! Keep the Faith and KK, Keep Kickin' it hoss!!
Oh wait I almost forgot, Your all wanting Uncle D's Report on the Concert.. here ya go and I quote:
"We came. We saw. We left. Richard cried."
Thanks for the report Uncle D, that was awesome and well worth the wait!!
...bk
See you ALL S-A-TUR-DAY SATURDAY!! Saturday night's the night I like.. Saturday night's alright alright alright!!
Next Update Sometime soon after the Party.. you can expect to see an "interview" with KK in the next update! I've compiled a rather serious (honest) list of questions to talk with KK about and gotten his permission to "interview" him so that and an update on how much I won in the Poker game coming soon!!!
