Fun, Sun, Exhaustion and a Mini-Heart Attack!!!

This weekend we actually had all three boys playing on the same field which is a minor miracle. BUT......the day started at 7am and we didn't leave the field till almost 7pm...YUCK. We were so tired by the end of the day we were falling asleep in the stands.

It started with Noah's Flag Game

Then on to Ryan's Game

We ended with Christian's Game

Yes....Christian got hurt...urgggg. He tackled someone and fell on his hand wrenching his wrist. The Coach made him stay down till the medic could check him out. I was up, running down the bleachers, jumped the fence and was on the field before the medic was fully there! My heart was POUNDING in my chest and I was chanting, "please don't be broken" over and over. The referree looked at me and was trying to get me to go back to the stands when I told him. "You don't understand, he broke his leg in two places on this exact field a year ago and was in a wheelchair for 16 weeks" He looked at me and said, "Okay Mom, lets just stay here and wait for the medic together" LOL Sheesh talk about scary. After the fact I found out that Christian was okay but the Coach was having the same flashbacks I was and made him stay down when he wanted to get up! We were able to tape his wrist and he wanted back in the game.

The next day we had team pictures and Christian's arm was starting to get pretty swollen. By 4pm from the elbow down was so swollen his fingers were turning blueish. So off to the ER we went to have xrays where the nurses and doctors tell me they are pretty sure he is broken. Thankfully the xrays told a different story. HE IS NOT BROKEN....just a bad sprain and he needs to get the swelling down. So thankful he is not broken, but on the other hand.....I was not happy to find out he didn't wear the arm/wrist guards I had bought for him on Friday. Had he worn them this could have been alot different! Trust me, he will wear them next time. LOL

I wish I had a fun family moment for you all...but unfortunatley it was just busy, busy with lots of dramatic effects to keep us on our toes...LOL
