Haven't been around much for several weeks. Between work, gym and Em's school it's been crazy in our house. Poor Em has continued to have a lot of pain in her knee, and she and her coach finally decided there would be no more competing this year, and Em would ease up for a bit and see if her knee would get any better. Just got back from seeing the orthopedist today and he thinks that Em may have another torn meniscus:( She is scheduled for arthroscopic surgery March 15 with a possible meniscus repair. If the meniscus is torn and can be repaired she will be non-weight bearing for 3-4 weeks, but should be able to get back after that. My heart hurts for my DD right now! She has worked so hard to come back from a catastrophic knee injury - ruptured ACL and 2 torn menisci - and has done it with a grace and courage far beyond what you would expect from a 16 year old, and frankly, it's just not fair! Any healing/positive thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
 
What a bummer! Thinking lots of good thoughts for both of you as you work through the whole process, hopefully things aren't nearly as bad as they could be. She sounds like a really tough kid, wishing her all the best! Please keep us updated.
 
So sorry she is having such a horrible time. Hopefully the all is well after her surgery and she has as speedy a recovery as possible.
 
Aww poor Em! I'm sorry but I will think positive and healing thoughts for her. I hope everything goes well with the arthroscopy.
