Cade's Surgery

My brother, Cade, is having surgery on his knee today.

He had surgery twice while in high school after messing up his knee playing football. His knee has continued to bother him off/on ever since. That was right up until he really messed it up while we were in CA. (Cade was the best man; apparently, all the groomsmen decided to have a big wrestling match in the hotel room the night before the wedding and Cade's knee just couldn't tolerate it!! He limped through the whole wedding!!)

After we got back home from California, he has seen the doctor a few times, had an MRI, and they have decided to once again go in and try to correct his knee problems. This doctor (a new one) seems to think there is quite a bit more he can do to completely fix the problem. He is going to use an ankle ligament from a cadaver to hold his kneecap in place....kind of interesting to me!! He will have to do therapy for several months, but should regain all his mobility and be better off than before!! The doctor thinks the problem will have to be fixed on this other knee as well and wanted to do both of them today, but Cade wanted to only do one at a time...he said he needed to recover quickly!! He says he might do the other one next summer...we will see about that!! :)

Please keep him and the doctors in your prayers today!!
