Bad News

On Friday, 12/9/11 Robert had an MRI of his right knee because he was experiencing some pain, discomfort and bruising.  He had been to the doctor a week earlier - this was the earliest he could get the MRI.  Mark took him Friday morning at 7:00 am.

Today around 9:30 am I phoned the doctor's office for the results.  My heart sank as I heard her tell me that Robert has a cronic partial tear in his ACL.  This is such heavy news.

I don't know how I will tell Robert.  He will have to be in a brace or have surgery.  He will have to stop all sports until it heals!  I just can't imagine Robert staying still.

I have been very strong for so many things but a few have just brought me to tears and this is another one that really affected my day.  I felt terrible inside.  My little Robert hurt so bad.

We will find out very soon what the next steps are for him.
