We didn't get very good news at the doctor's. Well at least not what I expected. He has a level 3 (the worst) sprain/tear of his lateral collaterall ligament. The good news is that he does not at this time require surgery. I am soo grateful for that. She explained how extensive a surgery would be at his age, drilling through growth plates etc, so again I am soo relieved that this should heal. He completely tore the ligament from the bone so he will have to keep it immobilized and stay on crutches for at least another 3 weeks. She said this type of injury can take as long as 8 weeks to heal but she will recheck him in 3 and we will go from there. She was a wonderful doctor but he was in alot of pain when we left from all the moving that she did. Here are a few pics from the weekend.
