She is now with the Lord

Hi Everyone-

After a long battle, Kelly is now at rest with the Lord. The most comforting thought to keep is that she is no longer in any pain or suffering. She had the chance to say goodbye to several people that were very close to her heart, even her precious dog Lola :)

Kelly was not afraid to go; her only concern was for those she was leaving behind. It hurts that she is gone, but she is now dancing with the angels!!

I will post funeral information as soon as it becomes available. THANK YOU for all the kind words and prayers. My sister was truly loved...and she knew that. Thank you for being a part of her life.

With love,
Jason, Joette, Dick and Casey

Hospital Update

As many of you know probably know, I’m in the hospital right now. I will give the background story to catch everyone else up.

Jason and I went to the ER on Sunday night because I was having some low magnesium symptoms and needed to get some fluids. They saw that my blood oxygen level was low so they decided to admit me. They also noticed that my white blood cell count was up, which normally means there is an infection. Once again, they thought that I might have pneumonia. Monday around 5pm they moved me into ICU for a few reasons: they wanted to monitor my breathing and they didn’t have any hospital rooms available. After being on an oxygen mask for a while, they switched me over to the regular nose tube. Finally my breathing was regulated and I could move rooms.

Now I’m in the PCU area of the Grapevine hospital and I have my own room. They had me doing breathing treatments to work on my lung capacity and now I’m constantly on oxygen. I have switched up my pain meds a bit so now I’m on a morphine drip to keep my pain level to a minimum. We have decided to stop using any other medications (antibiotics, magnesium, and potassium) because they are not helping with my quality of life or breathing at this point. As bad as this might sound, I know that I am close to the end and that I will be in heaven soon.

I want to thank everyone for the prayers, cards, flowers, notes, phone calls, emails, and text messages. Your support has been amazing and helped me and my family so much through this entire process. At this time, I’m only seeing my immediate family.
