I never reported details from the first two football games, but we have had our share of drama off the field as our players have been making their own on the field . . .
In the middle of the first one, Robbie started not feeling so well. By the middle of the third quarter he had his head resting on the back of his chair all curled up and watching the game off the big screen in the corner rather than on the field. He said he didn't want to go home though. Around the beginning of the fourth quarter I felt his head and assumed he had a fever. We stayed through the entire game, and afterwards in the training room took his temp . . . it was 103.6!! Yikes! One dose of tylenol brought it down though and it never came back although he spent the next week feeling a bit under the weather with no specific symptoms.
Just a few minutes into game two, Cole fell trying to climb into his seat while holding a bowl of fruit and flipped off and cracked open his head! It bled a LOT, but once we got the bleeding stopped and could tell where it was actually coming from, the cut wasn't that deep or wide and no further treatment was needed. He and I were quite a bloody mess though. Robbie had a tshirt on under his jersey, so Cole wore that the rest of the night and we did the best on cleaning up the rest of us. It was very helpful to have Kay (my mother-in-law) there to watch the rest of the kids while I along with Tiffany (a good friend and athletic trainer) came with me inside to get Cole cleaned up. Tiffany -who was also very helpful- was able to offer professional advice on the severity (or not so) of the injury. After the game, we hit the training room again and Rob got Cole cleaned up much better with supplies (other than concession napkins) and put some goo on it.
We are getting ready right now to head to Game 3, and I am wondering what our evening has in store for us this time?!?!
