I can't believe this happened.

Last night my son was swing dancing..........and his knee "snapped" and he fell.

He cannot use the knee........he is 6'2" and we are all too short to help him

anyway.......I will take him into our clinic today.........please pray HARD that it is temporary pain.......NOT A BIG DEAL!!!! As in: NO SURGERY!!!!

He is supposed to leave for Switzerland in two months, for a year. argh.

on the side.....he had a lot of responsibilties this week that required being able to stand, walk, bend the knee, etc........it is going to fall on other people......please pray all can be available and cooperative.

I was present last night, but not in the same room...........and they came in and told me, "Chari, Matthew just fell!!"

Oh, boy, did I feel sick        ----I guess my first words were" It's not his head, is it??"

That was all I could think when someone says "He fell!"

After Garrett's concussion.......I shudder.

THANK YOU FOR THE PRAYERS!!!

PS It would also be cool if our own family doc was in the clinic today.......please pray the person we get has a clue............some don't!

Praying, Chari! Thanks be to God it wasn't his head...but the knee injury sure makes me wince! I hope it's nothing a little time won't cure!

Praying here, Chari. Matthew is such a wonderful young man. He has a Kansas fan club!

Please give him hugs for us and tell him we're praying.
