Poor Teagers

Back in February, Teage came home from playing church basketball with what we thought was a knee sprain. He walked around on it for a few weeks until we realized that it was much worse then just a sprain. And an MRI and exam later, we found out that not only did he tear his ACL badly, but also tore both of his meniscus on either side of his left knee. Yikes!!!
So at the end of March, Teage went in for the first surgery of his life. He was pretty nervous about it, but he did amazing! It really was a complicated surgery, having to take a graft from his hamstring to reconstruct his ACL, as well as repairing his meniscus'. But he really did well, and I was so proud of him. He came home really sore and for quite a few weeks had to just stay off of his knee and rest. Hard thing for Teage. :) I think it was hard for all of us to have him that way as well, the boys are not used to having Daddy down for the count!

Emery loved just sitting with Daddy and listening to music, making silly faces, and helping him recover. It was really sweet how she would just sit there with him for an hour or so. That is definitely not something she is accustomed to! :) Thankfully after quite a few weeks of rest, ice, and physical therapy, Teage is finally back to work and starting to get back into his routine. Though he misses the gym tremendously!!!
