Hi friends,
This is Courtney, Kelsey’s best friend.
I wanted to share her story with you all and ask for your hand in prayer through this time.
Kelsey has been a type 1 diabetic for the past 20 years. For the past few years she’s been battling with neuropathy that left her feet numb and unable to feel them. A few months ago she was diagnosed with a kidney infection that now has progressed into stage three kidney failure. A few weeks ago Kelsey developed a diabetic foot ulcer in her right foot. After a few weeks of wound care, the ulcer continued to open up causing pain and after admitting her to hospital Kelsey now has a rare bacterial infection in the wound. This treatment requires iv antibiotics. With her kidney failure it is nearly impossible to treat the foot and not damage the kidneys more. Kelsey is unable to bear weight or be on her feet which her job requires of her. She is awaiting testing of the bone to be done to determine the next steps, with the worst case being amputation of the foot. We pray it doesn’t lead to that but diabetic patients are more prone to this type of rapid progression. With being out of work Kelsey is going to need all the support she can get. Her soon to be husband is left alone with handling all the finances moving forward. He just started a new job and it is a lot to put in one person. If you feel moved or touched to donate anything it is very much appreciated. Kelsey is a strong woman of God and keeping her faith in high spirits. If you know Kelsey she would give anyone the shirt off her back and has continued to pour into many woman and their journey with knowing and accepting God. I ask you all to bow your heads and pray for her. Let’s come together and stand strong for Kelsey and her family. May God Bless
