Bum Knee Update

First a little good news, it looks like Zach just had a little bout of the stomach flu yesterday since he's already feeling better and is happily back at school today, good thing because today he has another day of CSAPs (Colorado standardized tests).

The diagnosis for Zach's knee on the other hand can be described in one word...Bummer!! It looks like for the next 2 weeks (possibly 3) Zach has to take a break from soccer and any other physical activities to rest his knee until the swelling and pain go away, then he can ease back into practice and possibly play in a game. It actually may not heal completely until he's finished growing...I'm thinking that may be awhile.

Needless to say he is quite bummed...especially since he's only 1 week into the 10 week competitive soccer season. But boy is this kid determined to get better as soon as possible! So far he's being very responsible about wearing his knee band, icing it 3 times a day and elevating his leg as often as he can. Which of course is a great excuse for playing his new Smash Brothers game on the Wii and having his family wait on him!
