3rd Times The Charm???

Ok, so I am finally able to see here long enough to update my blog and fill you in on why I asked for prayers. Holloween night, I was helping my sis in law with the kids because my brother was not home from work yet. We had just gotten to the 1st house and were about to leave for our next stop, that's when it happened. I felt myself about to fall and because I had Ava in my arms, I did everything I could to take the brunt of the fall. Before I continue, a little background...

About 10+ years ago, I injured myself by falling on some ice. I dislocated my knee and that is when all the troubles began. Since then I have had 2 surgeries, both of which did nothing to help my knee from dislocating. Ok, so now that you are filled in on that; I will go on.

So, Holloween night; we had just left the house and gotten to our first house of the night. Ava and Cole are still very young to understand trick or treating, so being me I was doing all I could to help Courtney with the kids until Jeremy got home from work, hoping he wouldn't miss what was left of the evening. Ava and I stared to walk down the steps of our first stop. She is a little slow at going up and down the stairs, so I decided I would pick her up and get her down the stairs quicker so that the other little ones in the neighborhood could get to the door for their candy. I was on the last step when I felt my knee cap come out of place. I could then feel myself start to loose my balance. Because Ava was in my arms, I didn't want to drop her and have her hurt. So, I grabbed for the railing more than I had my hand on it originally and slowly took myself down to the ground. I set Ava down and immediately straigtend out my leg to put my knee cap back in place. Instantly I knew it was bad when I could barely move; or for that matter get up. The ambulance was called and I was headed to the ER.

Now we are here. I am set for reconstructive surgery on Monday the 10th and I am praying that the 3rd time is the charm. I mean that is the saying, right? And things usually go right on the 3rd try, right? So that is why I asked for prayers.

Thank you all.
