My daughter Kelly has been in the hospital all week fighting a blood infection. She was moved to ICU today and put on a ventilator because of severe pneumonia. She is not doing very well and I would appreciate the prayers of our prayer warriors here on Free Republic.
will keep her in my prayers.
Strong strong prayers for Kelly this day .......
Anyone hear anything today?
I was wondering the same. Prayers up.
I pray for Kelly’s continued improvement and thank God for his wonderful mercy.
God love her. Praying.
Go, Kelly! Go, Kelly!! Atta girl! Your body has all it needs to heal, through the grace of God, the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit! God is with you!
KELLY PRAYER UPDATE
Yesterday was a mixed bag. Improvement in breathing on the ventilator but problems with her kidneys. Today was a pretty good day. They reduced the oxygen requirements down from 70% O2 to 40% and she was holding her own. A Kidney Specialist started her on a different regimen and her kidney function improved. But each good news seems to be accompanied by something bad.
Kelly has not been able to digest the food in her feeding tube. They brought in a gastroenterologist who advised us that there has been some bleeding and he mentioned that she might be suffering from “portal hypertension.” They are going to do a procedure tomorrow to see what is going on in her stomach and gastrointestinal tract. It might involve some kind of surgery. They won’t know until the look inside.
The good thing is that the doctors have all been saying stuff about how she is going to have to have all these major life changes “after she gets out”. Those last words are music to my ears. Kelly does, however, remain in very critical condition so again I thank all of you for your faithful prayers.
I will update you after her procedure tomorrow. Again, I covet your prayers.
Faith

Kelly is such a fighter, continued prayers for her healing <3
Thank you, as always, prayers for Kelly.
Thanks for the update, on dear Kelly.
Hang in there. So thankful she is doing better with lowered oxygen.
Prayers continuing...for her complete healing, comfort and His wisdom to guide each if her docs/specialists.
I’ve been praying for you guys every night and will continue to do so.
Yes, yes, you and Kelly can deal with the lifestyle changes after she gets out! I know it’s a grind, and emotionally draining. We had an eerily similar situation with one of ours some years back, and I hope you take comfort in knowing that today he’s perfectly normal. Well, except for liking Bernie. But in all seriousness, I believe those are the most beautiful words on earth: when she gets out. We’re all praying for you all.
Life changes for a fighter like Kelly will just be an adventure for her...Keep going, girl!!!
Prayers for Jesus to continue holding her hand and for her recovery. God bless.
Prayers for you all and especially dear Kelly.
God bless
Continuing prayers
