A Holter monitor is portable, and worn for at least 24 hours to gather EKG info. The electrode pads are worn for an extended time, and it's not that unusual for Kelly to still have had those on had he been being monitored and decided to remove the monitor attachements with the idea he would reconnect to the monitor later on. People have to sometimes interrupt the testing for various and/or personal reasons, such as taking a shower, interrupting the gathering of data as some data is collected only during specific times such as during sleep.
Anyway, here's a link that tells about the Holter monitor:
