Well, it finally happened. I was the 'MOM' that had to watch her football hero be carried off the field due to injury. Can I tell you . . . this is a very strange and disconnecting feeling. Can I also tell you . . . . it confirms one of the amazing things that I have come to know about football? Your team and their families become a family in and of itself - complete with encouragement, support, and concern. I was taken aback by the concern of the opposing team as well. All politics and rivalries aside, this is youth football . . . .key word being 'YOUTH' and we all care about our kids. Before we even left the premises for the hospital, we were asked for permission to say a prayer for our Hero, by families of the other team. I love this game.
The bottom line looks to be a sprain, but a visit to the orthopedist this week will confirm or deny the initial diagnosis. Hero's spirits are high, as well as ours, and we hope that, indeed, it is only a sprain. Crutches, an immobilizer, and being confined to the first floor are our current restraints, so we hope that is the extent of it. Thanks to all and god bless.
