******************************

Today was the day that we had been looking forward to so that Cecilee could start the healing process. It's been quite a long 11 days. With this day here, Cecilee is that much closer to getting her life back on the soccer field. She is so excited but at the same time, sooo scared. She has no idea what he is going to find when he gets in there. There have been alot of prayers and fasting in her behalf, as well as for the Dr. So we are NOT worried at all, we know that she will be in the Lord's Hands and he will take care of her and the Doctor.

Well we got there at 6:30am and there was absolutely NOBODY in the hospital, of course it's a HOLIDAY. So we walked around trying to find where we were suppose to be, people were sending us back and forth. Finally I called the Dr and he said go to the patient room area. We were told NOT to go their because she's not a patient yet. So we get there and they are all so nice and get her going, changing into her beautiful fashionable gown, and getting her into her bed. They wheel her up to the Operating Room and we sit with her and wait. They needed to take a pregnancy test before they give her anesthesia, so it took a little longer before surgery to wait for the results.

Surgery started at 8:00am and we were told that it would be about 45 minutes to 2 hours. Well, we waited and waited and waited and at about 10:35am a nurse comes out and tells us that the surgery is going great, BUT it turned out to be a little more complicated than he thought. And then she left. So we waited some more. Then at about 11:30am the Dr. came out and he showed us some pictures and explained everything. He said that her ACL was fine, no tears or anything but 3 broken bones.
