ER visit this afternoon

My 10 year old Adam took a really hard hit during the football game this afternoon. Actually he got tackled and landed on another players face mask. One of his coaches is a fire fighter and he was the first one to him and kept him still since it was his lower back. Then we called 911 and they transported him to the hospital. A couple hours later after the doctor finally looked at his xrays which were clear and his pee test was good, he was finally released. I even made sure to get the doctor to sign a release so he can go back to football practice Tuesday.

Ok it was a little more drawn out and drama filled than this version, but you get the idea.

So glad that Adam is okay!!


We had a scary hit at last night's game, a 6th grader ended up with a neck injury (?). He was on the field for a very long time, our girls and guys all took a knee the whole time, but can you believe that the 7th graders from this kids town took part of the field and started warming up?!? I thought that was in pretty bad taste.


I'm glad that Adam is okay, how is he feeling now?

The scariest part was waiting on the sidelines for him to either get up or for them to call me out there.

Well he is already homeschooled, so he doesn't have to leave for the day.

It's a pretty big nasty bruise on his lower back just to the left of his right hip bone, with two circular guages out of it.
