If you have a moment....
Earlier this fall my cousins daughter tore her ACL during a volleyball game. This girl is the star female athlete of the entire school. Terrific at softball, volleyball and basketball she was destined for a college scholarship in at least one of the above sports. The ACL thing ended any dream she had of that. She had surgery to repair it a couple of months ago and there was even talk of letting her try softball in the spring to see if her leg could take it. Then yesterday she went to the doctor with a few concerns about pain and found out one of the screws had come loose AND there was some type of infection inside her leg. She is back in surgery today to repair the problems and see what type of infection they are dealing with. Her doctor and her parents are hoping it isn't some type of MRSA infection because that will be so hard to treat. If you have a few minutes keep Emily in your prayers today....

Consider Emily prayed for, and not just today either!
Oh, this breaks my heart. My girls are in basketball and softball and would love to eventually be offered scholarships - this is such a shame for your cousin's daughter - I am sorry and I will keep her in my prayers. TAke care. Kellan
I will keep Emily in my thoughts and pray for a speedy recovery.

How is Emily doing?
Emily's surgery went ok. The doctor said this was only the second time he had seen this, her body rejected one of the screws used in the surgery so it was where the infection started. They cleaned it out and said the screw was in long enough to do its job so the original surgery was a success but they had to leave her wound open for right now to watch the infection. The screws were supposed to eventually disolve on their own but this one failed to do that. I knew stitches could dissolve but I had no idea screws could do that too.

I didn't know screws could dissolve either. That's kind of neat.
I'll keep Emily {great name, btw ;)} in my prayers.
NO idea why it won't let me sign in, but it's me, Lanny.
