Secondly is a picture of her in her post-surgery hospital bed, followed by one taken just a few days later, as she and chapter director Jeff Degner enjoyed "pupusa" at a Salvadoran restaurant. Next is a photo of Kelly, at age 16, celebrating her quincenara in a beautiful dress. Finally, she is now: A 21 year old young woman, full of health and strength and joy.
