Kelly, My thoughts and prayers are with you. Hopefully this will be your one and only set-back. Get well and feel better soon.

<b>ANGEL UPDATE ON KELLY T.</b> I finally spoke with Kelly personally, and I regret to report that she was rushed to emergency surgery yesterday following her RNY on 10/6/2000. Her white blood count was extremely high, she has pneumonia in one lung, and had a perforation in her pouch which was repaired during the emergency surgery. She is restricted from walking until she completes the leak test again tomorrow. She will have to have a heart catheter inserted as well. She was very glad to speak to me, but I didn't keep her because I could tell what a hard time she was having breathing. She said the breathing problems are worse than her pain.<br><br>Please, please, everyone take the time to send Kelly best wishes during this very difficult time. She will be at Crawford Long Memorial Hospital at least through this Wednesday. <b><i>WE'RE THINKING OF YOU, KELLY T.!</i></b>

I haven't been able to reach Kelly T. today - her telephone line has been busy for quite a while. I will continue to try during the day and post an update later in the afternoon if I am able to reach her.

Hi Kelly, I bet you are on the other side. I hope everything went good today. I bet you are ready to get on with life and leave this baggage that encases us behind. I will say a prayer for you to have a safe and speedy recovery. May God Bless You.

ANGEL UPDATE ON KELLY T.: I finally got through to Crawford Long and spoke with Kelly's mom. Surgery went as planned at 12:30 pm today. She's been in a regular room since 5:00 pm est.<br><br>Although her family didn't see Dr. Burrowes personally, he phoned them and let them know everything went as planned - a routine procedure.<br><br>She is dozing, her pain is under control, and she will be up walking tomorrow. WELCOME TO THE OTHER SIDE, KELLY T.!!! We're thinking of you!

Angel Update: I haven't heard from Kelly T. about the last-minute cardiac test results, and keep getting voice mail at Crawford Long Hospital - I have been unable to confirm whether Kelly's surgery proceeded as planned at 12:30 pm today with Dr. Celio Burrowes.<br><br>I will continue to try to reach the hospital and will post another update later this afternoon.

Kelly T. emailed me to let me know her surgery is still scheduled for 12:30 pm tomorrow at Crawford Long in Atlanta with Dr. Celio Burrowes as her attending surgeon.<br><br>She did undergo the additional tests and her surgeon will be evaluating the data this evening. From all she knows, everything is a go for tomorrow.<b><b>Please visit her page and wish her well!

Kelly T. is scheduled for surgery tomorrow. Unfortunately, her EKG results are abnormal and additional tests are scheduled. She's not sure if her surgery will proceed as planned. Please visit Kelly's surgery date page or send her a private email to pass along best wishes, as she is quite frustrated after the long trip to Atlanta and getting lost often. We're thinking of you Kelly!
