Knee Surgery

On August 27, Kaylyn had knee surgery to repair a torn medial patellar ligament. Last fall at Whitworth, she injured her knee (dislocated her patella) but it took quite a while and a couple of doctors to finally diagnose what the problem was and how to correct it. Dr. Petersen was a godsend and performed the rare surgery beautifully. It will take a year for the rehabilitation and healing process but after that she should be as good as new!
No funny stories of Kaylyn coming out of the anesthesia. She just couldn't stay awake long enough to get dressed so we could leave! I never thought we'd get out of there.
Dr. Petersen removing the stitches. Notice the grin on his face! Ha!
