The doctor called:

So after more than a week, we finally heard back from Brooks' doctor with the results from the MRI. Thankfully it is not as bad as we thought, well . . . he won't need surgery that is. His ACL is not torn, however he has a "high grade PCL tear and messed up about everything there is to mess up in his knee" - Doctor Kimball. The PCL is the posterior cruciate ligament. It is the ligament that prevents the shin bone from sliding too far backwards. The PCL does not require surgery, but will require physical therapy. We still have an appointment with the doctor next week so he can check out everything else that was damaged, but we are so grateful not to have to go through surgery. {For those who didn't know, Brooks hurt his knee pretty bad while playing ultimate frisbee out in Tabby a couple weeks ago.}
