Kelly had surgery Tuesday afternoon (Feb 7) in Nashville. This marks day 11 of her multi-hospital stay. Dr. Numnum was able to remove the bowel obstruction during surgery. So far we have had a few road blocks including a superficial blood clot caused by an IV, found out yesterday afternoon she has aspiration pneumonia, and this morning her labs show she is anemic. Due to the superficial clot they had to remove her IVs (after being stuck multiple times in both arms) and her doctor ordered a PICC line. Nothing like being woken up at 2am to get a PICC line inserted. Now that it is in though, they won't have to stick her anymore for IVs because she now has two access points with her original port. They started antibiotics for her pneumonia shortly after inserting her PICC line last night and have been giving her blood today for the anemia. Praying for no more complications, a smooth recovery, and answers to unanswered questions. She has been able to eat small amounts of liquids and is currently being 'fed' via her chest port with parenteral nutrition and plenty of fluids. As of now she will probably be here at least another week, so please keep the prayers coming. #KellyKicksCancerintheOvaries #PrayersforKelly #TealTeamKelly
