First I need to ask all that visit my blog, even if your not the praying type, to please Keep a young boy named Zach in your prayers. Zach is an 8th grader, who was playing football For His School, Tahoma, Against Jakes Team, Mattson, on Thursday afternoon, Zach took a hard hit from one of Jake;s team mates early in the 1st quarter, he stayed down for a bout a minute, but then got up and went to the sidelines. He told his coach and his Dad that he had a headache, but went back in at the end of the game, after two plays he went back to the side line where he collapsed, had a siezure and stopped breathing. The medics were able to get him breathing again, where he was then life flighted out to Harborview Hospital in Seattle. He underwent surgery that night to release the swelling on his brain, they left his skull open in two places, and his outlook doesnt look good at all, he has been in a coma since this happened. Zach is an only child, and his parents are just devasted. That is all I know right now. Also keep the young man Dalton, who hit him, in your prayers, it was a clean hit, just a freak thing, and I am sure Dalton is just a mess as you can imagine. I will post anything when I know it.
Moving on to My Son ALEC, who injured his ankle on Friday in a pick up football game. I was happily scrapping away at my store ( doing a LO of Alec wrestling ) and he called, telling me he couldnt walk, he thought he should go to urgent care, Alrighty I said, He got a ride there, where I met him, and his hugely swollen ankle.. Keep in mind, this was the DAY BEFORE homecoming Dance. Xrays showed he has a chip bone and a very sprained ankle. So on Crutches he went.... I am sure his date is thrilled, but HE wanted to be sure he still went, promised he wouldnt dance, he just said he was NOT missing this. Here he is when he and his Friend Frankie stopped by my store so I could see them, before they went to pick up their dates:
Handsome young men if I do say so myself. I will post pictures of them with their Dates when I have them.

Oh my gosh, I can't believe what happened to Zach. That is just horrible! Talk about a freak accident. Glad to know that nothing like that happened to Alec. A sprained ankle doesn't seem that bad after hearing what could happen. Maybe you can just convince your boys to take up scrapbooking. What do you think? Maybe?
I tried to post on yout blog the other day, Tami, and blogger was being a pain in the butt and wouldn't let me.
It's so horrible what has happened to Zach. Thanks for posting the web site where we can get updates on how he is doing.
I'm also so sorry about what happened to Alec. But you know now that things can always be worse! Even with the crutches, he is one handsome guy!!!
Maegan has a good idea, get the boys interesting in a kinder, gentler hobby!!! LOL!
