A Scary Weekend!

Well, State Cup Soccer started this weekend! It is always very intense when you are playing in state cup since every team wants to be the #1 team in Utah! Austin's game was first and he play great! He scored a goal with his head...again and his team won 2-0! It was very cold during his game with all clouds and no sun!
Cody's game was a little later in the day and the sun decided to come out for a bit! I think it actually climbed to around 43 degrees by the start of his game! At 30 min. into the game, Cody got hit in the head by our goalie when the two of them and one of the other team's player all went up for the ball. Cody was instantly knocked out and started to have a seizure. This was one of the scariest things that I have ever seen....watching your child have a seizure and struggle to breathe! We are grateful for the doctor that was there instantly and handled things so perfectly! Austin was the one to dial 911 (many people actually dialed). By the time the ambulance got there, Cody was alert with slurred speech but knew who he was and were he was. By the time we got to the hospital he remembered pretty much everything. It was very scar for all of us and especially for Cody, once he realized what was happening! The CT scan was normal and we saw his regular doctor yesterday. The good news is that everything that happened was completely normal and he shouldn't have any future problems. The bad news is that he can't play any contact sports for 2 weeks! He is not very happy about missing state cup games but we want him safe. The diagnosis was actually a level 3 concussion. That is now his excuse for everything....can't go to work, can't do the dishes etc.... "I have a concussion"! We are just happy that he is okay. I feel that he had some guardian angels watching over him. Especially when he asked if he had received 2 blessings...he only received one from his coach in the ambulance.
