THANK YOU to the person that signed there donor card to make Aaron's surgery possible.
Friday Oct 26th Aaron had surgery on his knee. The last surgery he had was in August where they took out his very, very damaged meniscus and a very large piece of cartilage that was floating around. The surgery he had Friday the Dr. put in a new/used (donor) meniscus and filled the hole the piece of cartilage came out of. The hole in his knee was the size of a large marble and they had to fit the (donor) piece in the hole like a puzzle. Apparently it was a very big deal and the Dr. even had another orthopedic surgeon in the room with him to observe.
