Prednisone can do some pretty nasty things to you. Those other meds on your list are no joke either. You have to wonder about your risk/benefit ratio.

I would be more inclined to do a Murphy procedure(looking at it from the side, you move the attachment of the Achilles from the back of the heel bone to the top of it, changing the lever arm) rather than a tenotomy/release. This is something you think about after your conservative stuff is exhausted.

The kid and his parents need to get up close and personal with physical therapist, and will have an active home program. They will have to be as relentless as the disease process is.
