We had an appointment with the orthopedic surgeon today and Kit does not need surgery! His Achilles is completely intact which was a huge relief. He has a severe sprain/mild tear in his calf. I was dreading his surgical recovery, being pregnant and chasing Ryder while entering our third trimester. Our instructions are to have Kit elevate throughout the day, to take Motrin, and to do gradual stretching to increase his leg's mobility. Overall it was a great day with some great news for our family!
