Updates, prayers, and support for Kelsey

Hi all- my family and I wanted to utilize this GoFundMe for updates, prayers, and support for our dear sister Kelsey. Kelsey was involved in a car accident and it is a miracle she is alive. I want to protect her personal privacy during this time and not go into detail about the accident and the horrific injuries and experience she went through. We all know she is a strong fighter and she will get through this. We have the best doctors and staff working on her and giving us updates when they can. As of today 2/3 at 7:30 AM they were able to take out her breathing tube and she survived brain surgery. As of now, she is able to follow commands in all 4 extremities with good strength. The fact that she was able to follow commands, speak, and write on a piece of paper is a miracle itself. We are overwhelmed by all of the love and support we have seen for Kelsey and our family during this time. Visitation is very limited during this time and Vanderbilt only allows a certain number of immediate family to see for only an hour a day, every 24 hours. She is still in the trauma unit and will stay there for a couple of days while they closely monitor her progress. Our first request for Kelsey are prayers/thoughts she will be able to make a full recovery. As a family we have to make decisions and think about her life when she is discharged from the hospital. This could take days, weeks, or even months but if you feel called to donate, any amount is so greatly appreciated. I will honor and promise to you every dollar amount donated will go directly to Kelsey, her medical bills, rehabilitation, and post hospital/home care. We all love and appreciate her support. Hearing her voice this morning meant everything to us. #prayforkelsey #Kelsey'sarmy
