26CornerBlitz Posted April 6, 2018 Author Posted April 6, 2018 Mike Rodak ESPN Staff Writer Statement Friday on Jim Kelly from Dr. Mark Urken, head and neck surgeon at Mount Sinai West: "Mr. Kelly continues to make solid progress in his recovery from extensive surgery for his oral cancer. He has been moved out of the intensive care unit and made that transition by walking, on his own, from the unit to the inpatient floor where he will continue the next phase of care. He is still several days away from resuming swallowing and taking nutrition by mouth."
jimmy10 Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 I don’t know if anyone cares to hear my wife’s armchair diagnosis as a medical speech therapist, but she works with a lot of patients in similar predicaments. She can tell Jim is trached (that’s the safety strap going around his neck) for breathing, which is OK, because they don’t want to mess around with his mouth’s healing process right now by sticking a tube down his throat. She’s also pretty sure that’s a brand new feeding tube hanging off to the side of his face. That’s good news if they’ve moved to that from the peg tube that goes into the side of your gut. Most people can probably guess why the family isn’t showing Jim’s face right now. He’s bound to still be pretty swollen, bruised and just generally jacked up. Plus the tracheostomy. I think this is a nice, intimate, but still respectful way they’ve chosen to document Jim’s recovery in these immediate days. So still a long road ahead, but this is all good progress. Especially him being up and moving with the procedure they had to do on his leg (you can see the bandages on his left leg) to reconstruct his upper jaw. Much love to the Kellys! 3

What you say makes sense. I pray to God that this finally cures Jim of this. 1
