If you have a spare moment today please say a prayer for my cousin Stephanie Kelly, who is my cousin Robert (Bebo) Kelly's wife. She was involved in a head-on accident this afternoon and is in critical condition at University Hospital. Their baby was with her and he's ok (5 mo. old), but Steph is hurt pretty bad.

thanks for everyone's best wishes & I have an update. baby Beck is ok, he had some glass removed from his forehead and has been admitted & is being treated at University for cuts, bruises, and 2 black eyes. Steph is fighting.......... she had surgery in which they had to remove her spleen and part of the intestine. She also has other internal injuries which seem to have been taken care of the best they can at this point. She had massive internal bleeding which the doctors believe has been stopped. They moved her to the ICU and shortly after took her back to surgery to repair the main artery in one of her legs. She's in bad shape but she's a tough woman. The doctors are optimistic which is always good. *** PLEASE, EVERYONE, DON'T BE IN TOO MUCH OF A HURRY TO GET WHERE YOU ARE GOING FOR CHRISTMAS. DRIVE CAREFULLY AND BE AWARE OF THOSE DRIVING AROUND YOU. The accident happened on HWY 123 which runs through Seguin. Steph was driving home from her parents house when a car in the oncoming (opposite) lane decided to pass the car in front of it in a no passing zone. Steph didn't have a chance to react. thanks again for the prayers and please keep her in them in the coming days....God bless...

baby has been released & Steph is stabilized & her vital signs are "fantastic". She showed signs of response despite the head trauma which is also being treated. The doctors are also concerned about the circulation in her right foot which was crushed. The facts of the story are starting to surface and it is believed the other driver hydroplaned into her lane. The accident happened 10 mi north of Seguin, not south as we had 1st thought. The Seguin Gazette has a short story and a picture of what is left of Steph's Lexus SUV. Thank God her mom gave her that Lexus. The picture link is here: seguingazette.com/story.lasso?ewcd=b58a615deef89b46 and there is a story link on the front page. Our family thanks everyone for their best wishes and your collective prayers. She has a long road to recovery, but it looks almost absolutely positive she'll make the journey. It is so great to have extended family like we do in our racing community. I wub u guys! -Jr

Merry Christmas everyone! We just got back home from the good ole' Kelly Christmas . Both Robert & the baby were there in GREAT spirits. Ces & I went to visit last night @ University and we got to see Steph for a second right after her final surgery (for now probably). She is doing A W E S O M E !!! They took the breathing tube out and she took the feeding tube out <snicker> she always told me she was one tough.....well, I'll let ya'll finish that one LOL. She's doing as well as can be expected and all of the doctors are optimistic that everything went perfectly. The neurologist checked off that part and will be back in 30 days to check again, but everything looks really really good. Circulation has been restored to her foot & all has gone so well. Every bit of news we get seems to be good news so we couldn't be happier. She has a long road to recovery but the family & I have absolutely no doubt that your collective prayers, her toughness, & God's work all played a hand. Our family is so graciously thankful for everyone's best wishes and cannot begin to thank you all enough. From our family to all of you & yours, may God bless you and have a merry Christmas!
