matt's knee.

we had a great Christmas.

i hope to post pictures soon.

i got an early birthday present,

so i am playing with my *new* camera,

and have no idea how to get pics off of it yet. :)

spoke to our doctor this morning, and the results of Matt's MRI yesterday are not good.

he has a severely torn ACL, and partial tear to his meniscus,

and probably a bone fragment floating around as well. :(

(the family doc and myself, if i count, really did not think it was so severe...

we were thinking it was a medial ligament because

his knee is really not showing much laxity,

which usually appears with an ACL tear.)

so, i spent some time on the phone today,

and after maybe 5 phone calls got a consultation for this Friday...

it's not with a doc that was recommended, so i am not sure how i feel about that,

but being that this happened on the 17th, we are just thinking sooner is better than later.

i hope we don't regret that decision...

he has good days and bad.

he still does not walk real great, go figure, eigh? :)

thankful we went ahead with the MRI...

would love.love.love your thoughts and prayers as we go ahead with what is next....

chickens come again next week, so...

things should be interesting, anyway. :)

hope your Christmas was Merry and your New Year looking brighter

than the start of ours?  :)
