I talked to J last night about what has been going on and we decided that I would do a post every night with everything that happened that day hoping it helps the amount of texts and calls of people confused or with more questions to him and family so we can concentrate on what's going on at the time. Things change so fast that 8 hours later the outcome can be completely different than what we thought was happening. So J is having me give a current update and make some stuff more accurate and add a few more things.
From J:
Yesterday was supposed to be a boring day, but in the AM Kellie had another heart attack, successfully received 2 stents(a huge feat given the location and possible complications) and received another temporary pump (2 total).
Although the day started off rough, it ended with happy tears, smiles and laughter (both Kellie and I).
Today her stats look very good. The pumps are doing their job and allowing the heart muscle some time to rest and hopefully gain strength.
It's a constant roller coaster with some harsh curves but we are doing well. Kellie is coherent, talking and sharp as can be. All the doctors, nurses, and U of U med team love her. She has a great attitude and if it is up to her she will get better. She is my rock!
There is an article(that we have shared with our family) we would like everyone to read that does a great job summing up our thoughts and beliefs regarding trials and life in general:

We can't explain how grateful we are for the prayers and infinite service that is done on our behalf. Miracles have been and are happening on a daily basis.
Again, we are so grateful for all the prayers and amazing people in our life. We are hoping for a boring Friday and weekend!
-J
Keep the updates coming! We sure love you Kellie!
