Sunday 11/4

In life there are always the ups and the downs--today we had one of the downs (probably just the first of many). Jeremy found out this morning that he had torn the ACL on his right knee (now remember that is the only leg he can bear any weight on for a while), and he also found out that he has to go back to surgery tomorrow to have his back "flushed". I'm not sure what that all means, but I don't like the sounds of it. I do know that the incision on his back has not healed the way we thought it should, and finally today, someone else noticed! He has been complaining about his knee for over a week and on Friday, the one doctor decided that they should xray it to see what was up. We aren't sure what they will do with the knee just yet--they fitted him with a brace for now, but this sure will slow down his therapy. I will be going back to Syracuse tomorrow morning, so I will keep you posted! I would imagine that this will mean another transfer, so he will probably have another room number shortly--again, I'll keep you posted. I am praying that they don't find a lot of problems when they go into the back again, but only time will tell. Take care and keep Jer in the prayers while he goes through this next round of surgery. Love to you all. Carm

Jeremy and all,

You are in my prayers daily. Hopefully when they do surgery to recheck what's going on with your back they will be able to do a little "tweeking" to make it right. As for the ACL repair, it might slow down the process a bit more but it will mend, as you have witnessed with all the basketball players who have been through that. You just had to make it a bit "more interesting" as it is being done on your "good leg" ;)

Good luck and keep positive.

Love, Gloria Jean
