Yesterday was the day I had been dreading since Dean was born and now it has finally passed. He had surgery to sever his achilles tendon (so that it will grow back longer than what he was born with). We were very nervous about the surgery, especially the fact that he had to be put out completely with anesthesia, but everything went really well. His surgery was at 8:00 am and we were back home by 11:30.
This is the last part of the "casting" phase. He's in a new cast now while he heals and in three weeks from today - No more casts!!! He will then start the second half of his treatment which is the brace but we'll finally be able to give him regular baths and, most importantly, he'll be able to move his leg and bend his knee.
