Friends, Fear and Football

Yesterday, between games, we were out eating dinner when Lisa got a call from a close friend of ours, Diana, who lives in Washington with her family (who had visited us back when this blog was just starting up in April). Her son TR plays football in up north. Diana called to tell us that he had been involved in a collision and both players had been placed on the boards and rushed to the hospital. Kyle kept in contact with Diana's daughter Melanie via text (she had gone in the ambulance with TR). She was very worried, needless to say. X-rays and MRI followed. Lisa called Diana just before the second game, and got to Diana who was by TR... he was conscious and able to talk. By the end of the game, the results had all come back negative. He was up and walking, but in pretty bad pain. We're waiting for more info this morning... hopefully, it'll all be good.

I love football, but at moments like these, I'm thrilled that Kyle is playing water polo.
