Mark in July, Rachael in August.
Back in January of this year Rachael was doing toe touches at cheer and injured her knee. We immediately got her into physical therapy but unfortunately after months of therapy, orthopedic doctor appointments, and a cortisone shot, we still didn't know why she was in so much pain. At that point the doctor decided that a scope on her knee was the only option we had left. On Thursday the 28th of August she went in for the surgery. The doctor found Plica and removed it from her knee. Dr. Callahan whom, I was very impressed with, feels confident that this was the cause of all of Rachael's pain and that after healing from surgery she should be able to resume normal activity.
Rachael's recovery has been really slow though. She missed all of school last week and this couch has been her best friend since the 28th.
Rachael is back in school this week but she is using crutches and wishing she could hang out at home instead of hobbling around the school. Sometimes it is hard to believe she is in so much pain when she looks so adorable.
