In Need Of Prayer

Just found out this morning that my sweet, oldest baby will undergo knee surgery this upcoming Monday…I’m not a happy Mama right now to say the least. I am a jumbled up, twisted ball of emotion at the thought of him “going under the knife” once again. He’s been doing so great since his first surgery (nearly two years ago), and I find myself way over-thinking this. I mean, this is the same knee, the same symptoms, the same, terrible pain he suffered from before, yet I am to believe that this is a new issue?!

I love his new doctor, wish she had been the one inside of his knee the first time. She says this is a good thing because at least now we have an answer…I know she is right, so why do I still have to convince myself of this? This particular surgeon deals strictly with athletes (the teenage kind for the most part) and he certainly falls into that category. I’m hoping this won’t be too much of a disruption, and maybe more of a solution, to his athletic future. He so loves to be active and I know the kind of devastation being kept down is already beginning to cause. Not to mention the driver’s ed course he is scheduled to take this summer.

Anyway, Doctor says its a torn medial meniscus. She says it has to be a significant tear in order to be causing the “locking” he experienced on Monday (been a very rough week). Please Ya’ll, please keep Tony in prayer this week and into Monday and beyond. Pray for his physical and emotional healing. Pray for the hopes and dreams he has for his future. Pray for Dr. Pelmas and her staff as they handle such a precious boy (young man) on Monday.

Thanks Guys…
