Unfortunately, Prayers Needed


Lonesome Ford

Recommended Posts

Unfortunately this morning, my uncle Frank Kelly was rushed to the emergency room at Downtown Baptist. His current condition seems to be critical at this point, as his blood pressure has dropped dramatically and doctors tell us he has fluid around his heart but that's all we know at this time. I for one strongly believe in the power of prayer & your prayers (public or private) are appreciated and well received. Thank you.

We have come to find out my uncle Frank has suffered an aortic dissection, the same thing that took John Ritter's life. There are only 2 hospitals in the country with surgeons who can perform the surgery; one in Houston and the other is in California. So, needless to say, the paperwork is being done to prepare for airlife to Houston. Thanks for everyones prayers, I pray that this will work out ok but none of us really know at this point, thank you all again.

I well remember Frank Kelly as one of the Chief Crewmen on Jon Kelly's TIDA Late Model.

 

He did a good job on the #57 Ford. I am hopeful the Doctors in Houston will do a good job on Frank.

 

John ... bring your brother back to San Antonio soon, all healed and well.

Ok Frank went into surgery here in SA about 25 mins ago. The specialist in Houston was unavailable but there is a heart specialist here that is performing the surgery. Ill post more when we find out. Thanks again

As of this morning, Frank is resting in the Downtown Baptist ICU. The surgery went as well as can be expected and although he's not totally out of the woods the outlook is much more optimistic now. Thanks once again to everyone for their prayers and kind words.
