As others have mentioned before. Thank you for posting your son's progress, both the good and sometimes difficult days. As a Dad who has a 15 year old with the same prognosis, I echo pretty much everything you said in your earlier posts. I'm not sure I'm ready to undertake what's ahead for my son, but choosing not to do the surgery would basically mean hanging them up in his sophomore year of High School. Your son is an amazing person. Simply going through the process in the manner he did shows the courage and dedication he has. He will be a success even though it may not be on the diamond as a player. Thanks again....
