Kelly's wife Jill posted this photo ahead of the surgery as well, thanking fans for how far prayers have carried them:

What you do when you’re in NYC and have to get up at 5am for surgery. Your prayers have carried us thus far. Thank you! Tomorrow is another procedure in the process of completing Jim’s oral reconstruction. Honestly, I don’t know how he does it other than the grace of God and the prayers of so many. And of course being “Kelly Tough”. I will be doing a lot of praying tomorrow as I wait for Jim to come out of recovery. If there’s anything you’d like me to pray about for you, please share below. To God be the Glory! P.S. Jim’s face 😂❤️
