Stop beating yourself up, Dad! Easier said than done, right?

One of my sons had to have stitches, and they put him in one of those papoose things. I stayed up near his head, and he was begging me to help him. It was tearing my heart out- would have switched in a heartbeat.

I'm not a doctor, but it doesn't sound like your letting her play made the knee any worse. I hope the doctors can sort out what is happening, but it sounds like she just needs more time.
