Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
From what you are describing, it seems that Kelly is having hypoparathyroidism. I would suggest to test PTH level to conclude the final diagnosis. Treatment consists of supplementation of vit.D and calcium. Discuss this further with endocrinologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
