She got real sick and went to the hospital to get better, where she is still, and has only gotten worse. From what I understand, she had some bacteria in her chest that has now moved to practically taking over her heart. She is on life support and in a medical induced (spelling??) coma. Shes been under the knife and they are doing everything they can right now and not certain of the next step. Its all in time.
She is at MUSC and has been there for about a week now I believe.
I just wanted to get something together within the next few months and try and get the BIGGEST TURNOUT POSSIBLE! This is already an expensive journey for her parents and it isnt going to get any cheaper. No health insurance.
I have no clue how to put on a fundraiser, especially a drag race, but I would greatly appreciate ANY help towards making this happen so we can help the family out.
In the mean time, please keep her in your thoughts and prayers! She seems to be a fighter.
O yea, on a racing note, she is supossed to start in Juniors this year from what I understand!
Thanks
Brandon

thanks alot brandon, and thank you everyone thats helping, this is truly the hardest thing ever, kelsey is so small but so strong, just a little update, kelsey had the flu and after several days the she developed fluid in her lungs, which had one side completly shut down and the other close to it also her whole stomach was also filled up, she was put on a breathing machine at first and then moved her into ICU where she was then induced into a coma and was completly not breathing on her own, at this time they put her on 100% life support. they told us that on a scale to 1 to 10 10 the worst she was a 9 and she had a 30% chance, after that there was two lines (about the size of 3/8 hoses) put into her neck pumping blood out of her body and into a machine whiched put oxygen into the blood and then pumped back into her body, on top of that they where fighting her blood pressure, as all of this happened the fluid that was in her lungs and stomach turn into a virues and bacteria which moved into her heart, shutting down one side of her heart she just got out of surgry where they put two hose the size of garden hoses into her growing where they went up to her heart and put a drain in, right now they said that she a 30% chance that she will be fine with no problems 30% chance that she will need open heart surgry and have to put valves in her heart and 30% chance a heart trance plant and im not going to say what the other 10 % is, but they said we are looking up to 6 months and that its possible that she wont even live a normal life, this is really hard for me and my family and hope nobody has to go threw this, thank yall so much besides my son my sister is my best friend in the whole world, she was going to start her first Year in JR draster class this year and thats all she talked about, she is strong, and is holding on, she should not have to go threw this at all, i would take her place in a heart beat, and never think twice i love her so much and to see her suffer like this is hard, just want to hold her and tell her I love her, i believe in my heart that the god i serve is way bigger this bacteria and virues and she is going to get threw this, this is now the 4th day in ICU and on life support and only about 6 hours of sleep but god is bigger and my sister will come home!!!!!!!!!
THANK YALL SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR PRAYER BUT DONT STOP BECAUSE ITS A LONG LONG HAUL,,,,
