Achilles

It was late one Friday night August 13 to be exact.  Kevin and Brayden were playing pickleball at the church with Jordan and Erik.  They were tied 2 games each and it was time to get the missionary to bed.  But they decided to go for one more game- the tie breaker.  And it was during this game that Kevin sprang forward to get the ball and heard a loud pop and then felt what he described as a table falling on his Achilles.  Brayden called our good friend Dr Haslam who took Kevin to his office and confirmed that Kevin had torn his Achilles tendon.  He got scheduled for surgery the following week and thus began his long long long road to recovery.   It has been tough and it goes on.  We are hoping to have him walking by Thanksgiving.



This is the wound several weeks after surgery when the cast came off.
