OT - Daughter Having Knee Surgery - UPDATE

[auburnchick]

Hey y'all.

Just wanted to ask for prayers for my daughter. She's having knee surgery in the morning. The doctor suspects she tore her ACL during a soccer game in December, but they aren't 100% certain. They are going in arthroscoptically (sp?) and will repair what needs to be fixed, if necessary. We're hoping that nothing needs to be done, which would mean she could be back playing within 2-4 weeks. If a reconstruction is required, she'll be out for 9 months. She's a very competitive soccer player, so this is very hard.

We had to travel two hours away to get a GREAT doctor (totally worth the drive). Picture us with two dogs (just could not board her new puppy -- previous post), two children, two adults and not much luggage (cause of the dogs) in a small SUV. LOADS of fun...

Anyhow, I appreciate the prayers!

Thanks y'all! I'll keep you posted.

She'll be fine either way. Life has a funny way of working out for the best.

Ohh :( , my older brother hurt his knee, too last week during a basketball game, and he is also a very competitive player... I think the doctor said he either got a torn cartilage or hurt his ligament, he has to use a cane sometimes but we're still not sure whether he needs a surgery( he was really worried about whether or not he could play sports anymore :( ). My brother was also worrying about whether or not cartilage would heal on its own because blood doesn't flow to your cartilage. He says that if it doesn't heal on its own then he cannot walk well anymore, he was upset about that. I hope that's not true because my older brother is only 18.

I hope your daughter is fine, and I'll be praying for both my older brother and your daughter!

My DH had the same type of surgery a few years back - he was in an out in a day, they found an extra bit of cartlidge causing trouble and removed it and he was fine.

I was sooooo worried though. I paced and paced and paced - but apparently I should have spent the time cooking - because when he came around he said "Can I smell toast?"

She is in my Prayers.

Like Mason said, things have a way of working out. I trust in God's plan. It is perfect.

I'm sure your brother is going to be fine. My dd had problems walking for a couple of weeks. She is currently pain-free. She doesn't think anything is wrong with her knee anymore. We'll know in about 4 hours.

I'll pray for your brother!

I'm sure she'll do great. And with the arthoscopic surgery it'll be much less painful than it wouldn've been otherwise. I hope everything works out! Good luck to you and her!

Consider it done. My son, the soccer player, had that same surgery twice.

Here's hoping she's back to her old self very soon!
