About two weeks ago Josh went and played football with some friends from church. About 45 minutes after he left I got a call from him saying he was on his way to the emergency room. He thinks he may have torn something in his knee. The emergency doc didn't do much for him except tell him he has to wear this huge brace and use the crutches. He gave him so vicadin for the pain. Josh was then told he had to set an appointment with an orthopedic specialist. We finally went and saw the specialist a week later. Which was this past monday. The doc told us he thinks he tore his ACL and it's pretty much a definite that he will need surgery. He doesn't have to use the crutches anymore and he got a smaller brace that allows him to move and bend his knee a little better. He isn't in much pain which is good. He had an MRI monday and we will find out the definite results on new years eve. Till now he is on the waiting list for surgery and we are hoping he will have that done the end of January or the beginning of February. But, till then that is all we know so I will keep people updated.

Nice coloration in the bruising!
Oh my goodness! That looks nasty!!! I love the random picture too of Josh and Payton on the couch-it doesn't look like he knew you were going to take the picture! Lol! I hope everything works out ok, and I'm glad to hear that he's not in as much pain as before.
We got your Christmas card in today, and it is way cute! Nice job! Tell Josh we hope he feels better, and keep us updated! Talk to you soon! Have fun with your family this next week! Take care!
Love Always,
Kris
SO sorry to hear that I hope all will turn out for the best. good luck and happy holidays
Josh! Holy cow!! I'm so sorry! That totally bites!! What's up with all of this acl stuff when it comes to the Robertson men? I hope you can get it fixed quickly. Good luck with everything and don't be too demanding on Mallory.
Ouch...
Oh man, that sucks!!! Poor Josh. I hope he feels better soon and that the docs can help him.
