Poor Travis

On Thursday of last week I went to Travis' doctor appointment with him to discuss his options for his knee. A little background, Travis injured his knee years ago playing football for Georgia and it has never been "right" since. He had surgery on it back then but in the last couple of years it has become more problematic. Back to current day, we saw Dr Evan Ekman who really is an expert in sports medicine. He treats tons of NFL,NBA, tennis pros and the like. We figured if they trust him, we could. Well come to find out, his knee was in worst shape than any of us thought. Surgery was the only option, which we knew anyway. It just so happened he had an opening on Friday so we said let's do it. I was a little apprehensive about the timing, being Charlie should be arriving anytime, but we went ahead with it. After the surgery Dr. Ekman said that the knee was much worse than he could even make out on the MRI and that Travis, once recovered, would feel much better. Travis has been a trooper through it all despite being really uncomfortable. Lily and I have tried very hard to nurse him back to health. Lily has also needed her leg wrapped like daddy's and needed a special bed of propped pillows to make her comfortable as well. It's been very humorous to say the least. Travis said Lily and I would be getting a special present for being such wonderful nurses. :) But what else could we do, we love our daddy! Feel better soon Travis!

We hope you get better soon - you will have no choice soon - Charlie will need his daddy to be all better.
