Sunbrook and a trip to the ER...7/29/2009

The kids had a GREAT time golfing with Adam and Gary in their final JAG Parent/Jr tournament of the year! Adam and Jaden shot a 32-winning first place! Gary and Bailia shot a 35 winning second place! What a way to finish off a season!
Jaden, and others in each age division, were honored last night as Player of the Year! Points are given for each tournament if you place, and Jaden was top dog! Way to go! This proves that all of your practice and dedication has paid off! Keep up the hard work! We are so proud of you both Jaden and Bailia for always doing your BEST and having FUN!!



After the tournament we had to stop by Becca's house-she wasn't there so it was just a quick run in, run out. Or so it was supposed to be! Koda asked if he could go out back to jump-I said no we are just here for a minute. It turns out his sweet sister opened the gate for him-as he told me on the way to the hospital-I told her we would get in trouble but she started jumping, then somehow I started jumping, and now I won't get to play the Wii! Even in severe pain this kid still crack us up!
I don't let my kids play the Wii very often-I am guessing the last time they played was probably 6-8 months ago! So when Koda asked earlier if they could play it when we got home, apparently he was more excited than I thought!
Back to the story-so from what we were told they were jumping, Koda jumped too high landed on his feet, but must have jerked his neck pretty hard. The ride to the hospital was a nightmare-he couldn't move, every turn, bump, or stop, he would scream out in pain! But he still had it in him to cry out we should never get a big tramp like Becca's!! Walking in to the hospital he would cry out with every step I took! He kept telling me walk slower, walk slower!

They got us in pretty quick and instantly put a neck brace on him. They looked him over and hoped it was just a muscle, but just to be safe wanted to do X-rays. Still in a lot of pain, he wanted to just be held, so I sat in the wheelchair and held him as they took us down to Imaging. After five X-rays they took us back upstarts and came to the conclusion that he tore a muscle-it was really swollen-and he gets to sport around this nice neck brace until it heals-which the Doctor said "can take a while". Koda was feeling much better at this point, medicated with his brace on, relaxing talking to Jen (who came over to be with us-THANK YOU) and I as if he were drunk!
Last night was a LONG night-Koda would cry out in pain about every 20 to 30 minutes-I would reposition him, and he would fall back to sleep, and repeat. I am exhausted, but so grateful-things could have been a LOT worse!
