Kellisa's 27th Birthday

May 23, 2026

 

Kellisa turned 27 years old today. We let her sleep in a little and ended up going out for a movie and dinner. Everyone enjoyed the new movie, Michael, about Michael Jackson. Instead of cake, we lived it up at  an ice cream shop on our way home where we sang Happy Birthday to Kellisa. Once home, Kellisa opened her cards and presents before spending the rest of the evening watching TV with her family in the living room.

 

Not bad for the 25 week micro-preemie.

2008 (Kellisa's First 18 Years)

Kellisa went another calendar year without surgery.  

 

Hannah Montana came to Jacksonville in January. The concert sold out in minutes before we were able to buy tickets. We even tried to buy accessible tickets without success. I couldn’t pull the trigger to buy three tickets together that were selling for thousands online. It was breaking my heart that I didn’t have tickets for Kellisa.
