Football 2018-2019 season

 Tyler and Kyle love football.  We've been waiting for the year the two boys would get to play on the same team.  Tyler is a senior and Kyle a sophomore.  This picture was taken after their first game.  They won!!

Loved watching Tyler and Kyle on the sideline talking to each other!

In the Varsity games Kyle didn't get to play much.  Tyler played, but sometimes struggled with anxiety which causes him indigestion.  However, he did really well this year.  They have enjoyed playing and had a decent season as this was their first year in class A.  Their win this week qualified them for playoffs. 

Last week Kyle had an unfortunate incident which landed him in the ER. 

Under this blue shirt is a lot of shoulder pain!!  

He won the award for the dirtiest patient of the day.

Does it look dislocated?  I took pity on him and let the nurse cut his shirt off.  Even that was painful.  I really liked that shirt though, but I love him.

While waiting for them to fix it they gave him some morphine.  It didn't do anything to dull the pain.  After about an hour he went from about a 4 pain to an 8.  He was not happy.  

However, after the x-ray they were able to get it back in place.  Looks way better and feels way better.  He let off the biggest sigh of relief when the shoulder popped back into place.  

After his shoulder felt better, he was suddenly hungry and begging to go to Taco Bell!  

I had to take a picture of his shoes for a couple reasons.  His shoes were the reason he got hurt.  The field at Millard West was horrible.  It had rained the night before and their field was dangerous as a result.  Kyle's cleats got stuck in the mud as he was going for a tackle.  He put out his arm to tackle a guy, but with his feet not moving his shoulder dislocated.  He fell onto the floor face first and didn't move.  He's never been in so much pain.  Dad went out on the field to see what was going on.  I came down a couple minutes after and went to get the car.  We knew it was an ER trip.  In the ER they questioned me as to who I was.  It always throws me off when people just don't know I am him mother, but I guess we don't really look much alike.  However, I am his MOTHER!! 

When he got to his bed I wanted to be able to take his pain away.  It's hard to watch your kid in pain and not be able to do anything about it.  In the car he'd mentioned he wanted his shoes off so I asked him if he wanted his shoes off.  He said no.  A few minutes later I asked him again, but he again responded no.  As the mud started to dry and the sheets got more and more dirty I asked him again.  After about 40 minutes he tried to cross his feet, but couldn't and I asked him one last time.  Finally, he said, "Apparently you really want my shoes off so just take them off."  I took the clue and realized he was in so much pain he just didn't want to talk or be talked to.  I understood that sometimes when you are in pain, you just want to be left alone.  I left his shoes on. 

About 5 minutes later Monty came in and said, "Hey son, do you want your shoes off?"  So funny.  Monty took his shoes off. 

Kyle was a stud through the whole thing.  He was sad and did shed a few tears.  Sad that his season was over, but after this weeks games he melted my heart when he said, "Mom, today it was kinda fun to see a kid that plays under me get to play.  He hasn't played much this season and he got to play today and did well.  I guess that is the silver lining in me getting hurt!"  I love him!!
