It was our Homecoming Last night. Josh was on Homecoming court and had a blast doing his skits and dancing during the assembly. It was a hoot! He had such a fun week being one of the top 9 guys in the senior class.
The football game was last night and they won 35-21, and their team improves to 6-0. They clinched their spot in the playoffs with their perfect record already. Unfortunately, in the second quarter, Josh tried to block a punt and came down hard on his knee. We had two orthopedic doctors on the sidelines who checked him out immediately during the game. Without an MRI it's hard to tell, but they think it might be his ACL. We are waiting for the call back from the doctor when they can schedule an MRI. (waiting for insurance green light.) Josh is absolutely crushed. This little blurb was posted on a football forum by one of his teammates:
"...the panthers played a decent game against the cubs nearly shutting down the stud running back who showed great speed...scary thought...but in the end (despite the win) you can count this as a major loss for the panthers...during the first quarter LB Josh (last name) went up to block a punt but when every1 waited for him to get up he was still on the ground...the present status for him is uncertain but it is evident it has something to do with a knee...I can only ask that the whole (football team) family as well as fellow supporters will lift their prayers that this injury is not serious...Josh is an excellent player and college recruit...even more he is better individual and our brother...we all love you josh...you'll get through this..."
He is devastated. I know in the big scheme of things, it's not life-threatening...but in HIS world, his dream has been shattered. Keep you posted.

Oh my, will be praying. I haven't lived with a sports type/college hopeful recruit---but I've known some families who have walked that path. Praying God makes Himself real to Josh in a new way through this---God is able to do things we can not even imagine. Praying for you also---mom's hearts as they watch their children hurting is hard.
