"Tears wouldn’t stop" - Jim Kelly shares critical update on 1-week old grandchild's as Bills legend's family faces 'heart-wrenching' medical situation

Former Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly shared a health update on his newborn grandson. His daughter, Erin Kelly, welcomed her first child with her husband, Parker Bean, last week. However, the baby was born with “unexpected medical complications.”

In an Instagram post on Tuesday, the former NFL star shared a long message along with a picture of his daughter from the hospital. Kelly revealed that the baby's "procedure" is scheduled for 7 a.m. on Wednesday and asked fans to keep the baby in their prayers.

"We are standing on the unshakable truth that God is the One who created our strong and courageous grandson…the One who formed him, knows him, and loves him even more than we do," Kelly wrote.

"We are holding on to every promise He has spoken in His Word — because even in this heart-wrenching pain, we believe HE is faithful. This road has brought us to our knees..There have been moments when tears wouldn’t stop. Moments when all we could do was cry out in anger, anguish, and pain."

Kelly also said that his daughter and son-in-law have asked not to reveal the baby’s name because “they still want to announce him to the world.”

Kelly first shared the news of the medical complications on Sunday but did not provide many details about the baby’s health. He cited the “sensitivity of the situation.” However, he mentioned that the family will share “more when the time feels right.”
