Jeremy's Knee Injury

As you know, Jeremy tore his ACL, Meniscus and Medial muscle on his right leg a year and a half ago. This was done in a football game and a bad tackle. He went through surgery and a 9 month healing process. This was not a fun time for a kid who loves sports. He was able to play football last year and rec. basketball to try and get his speed and skills back up. He had great hope for sports this year.

In June he was at a football camp and injured his left knee. A lot of the same problems, but we were hopeful that nothing major was wrong. He played in Hoop Fest for about 5 minutes and injured his knee again.
We have since gone to the orthopedic doctor, had an MRI and started Physical Therapy. The doctor thought he tore his ACL in that leg. We go back to the doctor tomorrow to determine if he actually tore his ACL and will need surgery. This is a devastating blow for Jeremy. He is 15 and this will be his second knee surgery. He will have to miss the rest of his summer plans and football/basketball in the fall. Please pray for him as we determine what needs to be done.
