Jacob had his ACL repair surgery on November 19th. It went great! I would like to tell some funny story about the goings on of the surgery but everything went very smoothly. Jacob was nervous about the IV but did fine. He was nervous about the nerve block but the anesthesiologist gave him some sedative before he started. Jacob said later, that after the sedative took effect, he doesn't really remember anything. He woke up in recovery just fine. I was a little worried about the anesthetics but the anesthesiologist was receptive to what I said about a family history of being sensitive to it. After the procedure the doctor showed me pictures of the inside of his knee; Jacob had no other damage other than the ACL tear. Now he just needs to rest, regain strength and range of motion. He will get his stiches out on December 4th. At his first post op appointment Jacob' range of motion was ahead of where it should be and he was healing good. We are praying for his full recovering.
