Update on Kelly Bates

While visiting Papa Bill and Mama Jane, Kelly was admitted to the hospital for a kidney stone and infection. Sadly, it turned septic and went to ICU. 

The family drove down to be with Kelly while she was in the ICU because it was unclear if she would recover. Shortly after prayer and care from the hospital, Kelly turned the corner and had two surgeries. She was sent home from the hospital yesterday.
