Jim Kelly reveals newborn grandson has emergency surgery after being born with 'unexpected medical complications'

Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly has revealed that his newly-born grandson underwent successful emergency surgery after ‘unexpected medical complications’ following his birth.

The former Bills star announced on Instagram earlier this week that his daughter, Erin and her husband, Parker had recently welcomed their first child, and asked for prayers with ‘Little Bean’ set for a procedure.

Kelly later shared on Tuesday that his grandson – whose name he has not yet revealed – was set to undergo the surgery at 7am on Wednesday.

And thankfully, the 65-year-old was able to share with fans afterwards that ‘everything went well’ as his grandson embarks on his ‘healing journey.’

‘We are overwhelmed with graтιтude for God’s hand in every detail today… for highly skilled and compᴀssionate doctors and nurses… and for every single prayer that’s been lifted on our behalf,’ he wrote on Instagram.

He continued: ‘But this is just the beginning — and we humbly ask you to PLEASE KEEP PRAYING as the healing journey begins.

While Kelly has not disclosed what medical complications his grandson has endured, he previously said that ‘this road has brought us to our knees.’

The five-time Pro Bowler received a flood of well-wishes on the latest post, including from former teammates Thurman Thomas and Andre Reed.

‘GOD is GOOD ALL THE TIME AND ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD…….. Continued Prayers for little Bean,Erin,Parker and the whole Kelly Family,’ Reed wrote.

Kelly has also had significant health battles himself in retirement.

He was initially diagnosed with oral cancer in 2013, and later had part of his jaw removed.

The disease returned in 2014, while he had to undergo a 12-hour surgery in 2018 to remove a new cancer from his jaw and neck.

Kelly has ultimately battled the disease a total of four times, and last year celebrated 10 years since his final radiation treatment.
