Lions notes: Kelly Stafford appears to prepare for brain surgery

Two weeks ago, Kelly Stafford, wife of Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew, announced via Instagram that she had been diagnosed with a brain tumor that requires surgery. On Tuesday, she provided a brief update, letting her followers know that she is preparing for said surgery this week (via her Instagram story):
