It has been 11 days in ICU now. Kellie has been battling issues regarding her paralysis, blood pressure, pain, & obviously the overwhelming emotions that have arrised from this situation. Regardless, she kept positive spirits & like herself, was making everyone smile. Her room is now overflowing with family, friends, staff that cared for her, & a remarkable amount of letters & gifts from around the world. Kellie continued to have minimal sensation below her shoulders, but now was able to lift & move her arms, which was a great sign. At this time doctors felt Kellie was stable enough to be moved from ICU.
Throughout the day Kels family & friends packed up her room & the crew moved to a medical floor. Kellie was excited & hopeful, but had no idea what the rest of the day had in store for her : )
That night, Kellies long term boyfriend Luke organized a special surprise..
That evening Kel's crew of family & friends all gathered in her room for what Kel thought was a Friday Night Pizza party. Everyone was talking, laughing, taking pictures, & just enjoying Kellies optimistic & loving words. We were reading cards to Kel sent from around the world, when... Knock Knock @ the door! In came a nurse holding a card & small red box, which she handed to Luke. Everyone cleared from around Kellie, & Luke approached her.
He began reading the card out loud to Kellie. At first it seemed as though it could have been another note from a dear friend, but Kel & everyone quickly noticed that this one was special.
