Kelly will be admitted to the hospital at 5:45 a.m. for her pre-operation MRI, which will be followed later that day by the operation.
That afternoon, Tuesday, October 26 at 5 p.m., St. Mary's Church in Balboa will be holding a special Mass for Kelly. We would love for friends and family to come together at this time in prayer. Kelly's best friend, Yoela, and her mother, Tia Maggie, have made this prayer union possible, for which we are so grateful. As soon as we know the outcome of Kelly's surgery, I will be in touch with Yoela so she can bring you up to date on Kelly's post-opt information.
As we read comments made by friends and loved ones, we bask in all the fun memories and delightful stories that you bring us about your experiences with Kelly throughout her life. We are ever so grateful for having been blessed with someone in our lives who has such amazing energy, high spirits, and good health! This tumor will soon be a thing of the past, like one of our unexpected tropical storms. We are sure that as soon as it passes, there will be once again lots of beautiful sunlight and blue skies overhead.
She is my warrior of warriors...both my strength and my weakness...for her I would do the impossible.
Please keep up the PMA (Positive Mental Attitude)!
Love, Ani
Today pay attention to those moments you feel like quitting. Dig deep within and find the strength to persevere, no matter how big or small the task at hand, because it is always the case that something very big is about to be revealed

Dear Mark, Mari, Ian, Kelly and Ani,
ReplyDeleteI am so positive and hopeful Kelly will come out of this in perfect condition! I know my mother, April, will be looking upon her, praying over her with her enormous faith. I will be praying for her and checking up on the good news.
With love,

Hello from the clinic at MDA! Wow! I take a few days off of work to MOVE TO PAITILLA (ahem) and what do you do? You go to the mountains and relax and enjoy being with family! Here I am living in mountains of boxes, chaos, workmen, cats, and there you are basking in the glow of the autumn leaves and probably eating lots of chocolate....
ReplyDeleteWe are all thinking of y'all so so so much here at MDA...Sean, Geraldine, Marlene are doing a great job.... everyone is pulling together as a team, as always.... It is all good.
You just march on warrior princess.... We are right behind you all the way....
Love and miss you bunches!

Our Sweet Kelly,
ReplyDeleteWe love you so much! You are in our thoughts and prayers. We cannot wait to see you and celebrate your successful recovery. And Emma Grace cannot wait to meet her Tia Kelly! XOXOXOXO, BA and Javier
Kelly!!!!! I am still thinking of you every day. Let's beat this damn thing!!! I am in your corner every step of the way. I will get on the next plane to New York if you need a silly clown or a bad musician around. Don't forget about that 'cause i'm serious as serious can be. All bad clowns are serious. :) BUT I'm sure you have enough attention at the moment. :) I'm in San Francisco. Last week I passed all nine exams for my Chief Mate / Master License in Baltimore. Wish you and your family could hang with me in the California sun. You are always welcome to stay over in these parts!!! Fire on the beach in Carmel. :) I miss you more then you know. Please feel this gigantic hug i am sending you from across the continent. I'm in a library overlooking beautiful apricot trees under the sun. I'm sending all of that positive beautiful energy your way. Big Smiles. Lots of love.
ReplyDeleteyour long lost buddy,
Ryan
