Kelsey got pregnant shortly after getting married and had a fairly smooth pregnancy. The night before Kelsey's due date she tripped over a baby gate and broke her left arm and shattered her right shoulder. She was taken to the hospital via ambulance. She needed surgery asap but needed to deliver her baby first. She was induced and had a smooth delivery at 10 pm. 2 hours after giving birth, Kelsey was brought down for pre-op.

After 12 hours in pre-op, Kelsey's surgery was canceled and due to scheduling she had to wait 3 more days before she was able to get into surgery. After nearly a week in bed, Kelsey needed PT and a gait belt to help her walk before she could go home. Kelsey's mom moved in for 7 weeks to help care for Kelsey and their new baby. Kelsey slept in a recliner and relied on her husband and her mom to help her take care of her most basic needs. With in home occupational therapy, Kelsey was able to start feeding herself, using the bathroom on her own and was eventually able to go back to work.

A few months later Kelsey started having shoulder pain and found out her shoulder had collapsed and was rejecting the plates a screws from her surgery. She would need another surgery.
