Her Life
October 7, 2013

on may friday 13th kellys life changed forever i remember i was at work and i got a phone call from the lyall mckeown hospital to say they had kelly there and had found a cyst on her brain it worried me but i had to pick up the kids so there was not much i could do.they also told me she was being transferred to the royal adelaide as they didnt have nuerologists . so on the sunday i went and seen her they had her on a drip and she had to be wheeled out forĀ  a smoke.on tuesday 17th may i was at work and the royal adelaide rang me again and told me they were operating today and that i needed to get in as it was such an invasive surgery so i left work and took a taxi in the doctor came in and that was the first time i heard the word tumor they said you might be paralised after the surgery you might die or you might be fine then they took you down for surgery i went back to work but couldnt concentrate so i went home. at about 5.30 the surgeon rang me and told me the operation was a success but they would treat it aggresively as you were so young. that did not put my mind at rest i can tell you that night you rang me as i could not go in as i had the kids the next day i went in after i had dropped the kids off tristian was at school and mia and zac went to day care you were in icu you did not look very well and you kept throwing up i stayed with you all day they tried to take you down for an mri but you could not have it as you were still throwing up you looked so small in the bed the next day you were a bit better still throwing up though and that continued for at least a week till they realised that they had you on the wrong dose of your anti seizure meds once they fixed that you stopped throwing up . we had to wait at least 2 weeks to get the pathology results of the tumor the day the doctor told me i was so glad you were still in bed and couldnt get up because they told us it was cancer it was a grade 3 astocytoma and it was an agressive form of cancer you would need to have radiation and chemo to try and fight it
