Buffalo Bills Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly is keeping fans closely updated on his grandson's heartbreaking health scare.

After Kelly's eldest daughter, Erin Kelly-Bean, gave birth to her first child with husband, Parker Bean, last week, he underwent emergency surgery following "unexpected medical complications."

The 65-year-old wrote, "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."
