This was our Easter Weekend. We spent the Saturday before in the ER. Here is Scott on the stretcher just before entering the ER after his ambulance ride!! That morning he had gone to play basketball with his brothers and got a little too comfortable. He went up for a block and when he landed he lost all control of his lower right leg, and then came the pain. He had a huge adrenaline rush that made it possible for him to get outside, but it wore off and he couldn't get into the car. When I got the call from Bryce saying that Scott had blown out his knee I just couldn't believe it. Because this last July Scott had surgery on his left knee to replace his
ACL.
Here's Scott in the ER feeling a bit embarrassed. The doctor said that
Scott most likely ruptured his
patella tendon, but wanted to do an MRI to make sure there was no other damage done to his knee. Once the MRI was done the doctor said it was just his tendon, but it was serious enough that he needed surgery pretty quick. With it being Easter weekend there wasn't anyone available to do the surgery that day, so Scott was given a brace, crutches, and some major pain killers to last him the weekend. We were told to expect a call from the surgeon sometime Sunday. We were
referred to Dr. Edwards and had surgery scheduled for Monday. The bad thing about that though, was we didn't know what time the surgery was going to be. So when we found out it wouldn't be until three o'clock in the afternoon, Scott hadn't eaten for nearly 24 hours. I felt so bad for him.
This was just before Scott went in for surgery. It looks like a fat woman's knee next to Scott's. I thought it was pretty funny, but Scott didn't agree.
Here's Scott after surgery and on my parents couch. The doctor said that the surgery went well, but that Scott needed to stay off it for a couple of weeks. So Scott, Peyton, and I had to stay at my parents for nearly two and a half weeks, until Scott's knee was stable enough for him to move. It was really nice to be at my parents so that I had some help with both Scott and Peyton. But when it was time to go home, I think we were all ready to get back to our normal lives. Well except for Scott. Scott might not agree, but I think his accident was a blessing in disguise. Now he'll be able to spend some quality time with Peyton. And I really think he needs that right now.

Okay, that picture of Scott's knee is hilarious! Sorry Scott, but it looks like me when I get stung by a bee. You might laugh about it someday, but until then I'll laugh for the both of us. I'm so sorry this happened. What a complete bummer!
