I took Owen to the specialist on Tuesday for an update on his knee injury. Tony and I were both convinced it was just a sprain. Owen had been walking on it, and not having any trouble with it. Our only concern was that the knee was still swollen.
Dr. Ling examined the knee and requested more xrays. After we waited and the xrays were taken, Dr. Ling broke the bad news. Owen has a torn ACL. Not exactly knowing how bad this was, I soon found out. An MRI is required, I was told the wait list is long. Hockey season is over for Owen, and he may possibly need surgery.
Heart breaking for a seven year old boy who's claim to fame is being the fasted kid in grade two. He is devastated that he won't be able to play hockey! We are too.
We are staying optimistic until we have the results of the MRI back. Cross your fingers for us, that it is not what the doctor thinks it is!
