I took him in this morning for his exam, she said his right knee is a 3-4 right now. They did xrays and confirmed, it's still only a 1 in the other knee. She said he definitely needs surgery but since it isn't an affordable option for us right now she was able to get it back into place but said it most likely won't stay there. She gave us some pain meds and an anti-inflammatory so we can see with some rest and those 2 that maybe it'll take the inflammation down so we can have some more time with him. Surgery is $2000 and we won't be approved for Care Credit

. Basically it's just a wait and see how this goes. She said it could be in place for days, weeks, months, who knows.
