"There have been moments when tears wouldn’t stop. Moments when all we could do was cry out in anger, anguish, and pain."

He added, "Erin and Parker have asked that we do not share his most beautiful name yet with the public, because they still want to announce him to the world 😭 and especially to those of you who have been praying fervently for our miracle Bean."

On Wednesday, July 16, Kelly shared a positive update on his grandson's surgery. He wrote on Instagram, "Little Bean’s procedure is complete — and everything went well. THANK GOD!"

While the procedure went well, they are far from out of the woods.

"Our continued prayer is that Little Bean’s body will begin to heal and adjust to all that took place this morning… that his body will strengthen… and that, in time, he’ll be able to come off the ventilator and be able to go home."
