I just got a call from my son. My 16 year old grandson was injured in football practice on Wednesday. They just got the report from the MRI and CT scan. It's not good, and I'd appreciate your prayers.
He has:
Complete ACL tear
Complete MPFL tear (ligament that connects the patella to the femur)
Partial MCL tear
Lateral miniscus tear
Gastrocnemius tear (calf muscle tear)
Tibia fracture
Femur fracture thru growth plate, which is still open
The doctor is very concerned about blood clots and compartment syndrome, and we are waiting to hear what the next step is. No doubt, it will involve some serious surgery, and a long, brutal recovery.
