Bad News!

Well bad news fell on the Ober household this week. As many of you know, Matt has been a wrestling coach for many of years. This year he resigned his position as a paid coach due to his growing involvement with the family business. He still helped out this year and did his coaching, as if he was still the head coach. About 6 weeks ago, Matt was wrestling full-out with one of the boys, and hurt his knee. He has been dealing with it for weeks now, and over time it hasn't improved. He finally listened to his wife and went to the doctors. He had an MRI and it turns out he has a torn ACL and meniscus!!! We knew he hurt it but didn't expect it to be both! He has an appointment with the surgeron on Tues to discuss his options, but surgery is foreseeable in the near future. Please keep Matt in your thoughts and prayers as he has never had surgery before and is a little bummed about the news. He is a very stubborn man and thinks he is going to wait another month to get all his plumbing side jobs done that he promised everyone he would do in the month of April. Of course he can't take a step back and think about himself for once, always thinking of others! We will keep you posted on Matt's status and his pending surgery! Thanks for all the kind words this week from all of you, we appreciate it and love you all :)
