<b>ANGEL UPDATE ON KELLY T.:</b> I am very disheartened to post the following update on Kelly, which I received from her via email today:<br><br>"I had another set back and ending back in the ER and hospital for 4 days. After the second surgery they left a 12" drainage tube in abdominal to catch any leaks. The many tests revealed that the leak sealed so he started to
advance the tube out of my body by four inches out of my body. Because the tube had been in my body for 5 weeks, live tissue formed around the tube and when it was pulled it disturbed the leak again....not to mention extreme pain. There was so much blood draining into the tube that they thought that I was hemorrhaging. Thank god I wasn't! They explained the blood as a pocket/cavity of blood that formed at some point. While in the hospital the entire tube was removed and replaced with a smaller tube in which he is
advancing every two days.<br><br> I don't know what to think. The doctor says I have a "controlled leak", meaning that anything that leaks out will go into the tube. I hope I'm not
being experimented on. I don't think the doctor has a lot of experience of leaks. I'm back on clear liquids for awhile until the leak seals again. Hopefully soon.<br><br>I've been staying with the folks for a few days because I've been in so much pain. The pain is actually worse than when I had the first and second surgery. The good news is that I have lost weight. I started out at 285 and now weigh 250."<br><br>Kelly truly needs our support. Please take the time to send her your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
