Concussion

Earlier this week, D was at basketball tryouts when, playing defense, he shuffled his feet backwards, lost his footing and fell. Hard. On the concrete. His head taking the brunt of the hit. The coaches, who heard his head hit, said he got up and wanted to keep playing, but they made him sit down for a few minutes. He complained of his head hurting and they wouldn't let him back in the scrimmage.

We got a call from one of the coaches asking us to come pick him up where we determined he needed to visit the clinic. In that visit, the doctor diagnosed him with a pretty major concussion. We're watching him and the situation closely.

So this has been our weekend. A very restless, bored teenage boy, trying to sleep and refusing help...even though he really needs it.

If you think about us, pray for him...pray for us as we try to take care of our boy.
