Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly continues to make progress in his recovery from oral cancer.

Never stop holding hands. In sickness and in health. Out of surgery and in recovery. Still in a lot of pain, but everything went well. Thank GOD! No teeth yet, but 5 implants were inserted into the new bone in Jim’s upper jaw. More technical than I can explain... What matters most is what’s happening in this picture. Never take it for granted! Glory to God!
