Braeden participated in his very first soccer tournament in Springfield, Missouri over the weekend with his HSAA soccer team. It didn't go exactly how he had planned. In the last to 2 minutes of the first game he went up to head the ball and another kid on the opposite team going for the ball at the same time nailed Braeden in the head with his shoulder. Braeden went down and was taken out of the game. He thought he was feeling ok and tried to play in the second game, but at halftime he called it quits. His head was killing him and he was feeling nauseous. Cary took him to the emergency room and he was diagnosed with a slight concussion and told he was not aloud to play in the rest of the tournament. He was totally bummed. Cary and Braeden stayed in MO to cheer on his teammates and he did ultimately end up having a good time, despite not playing. His team took 2nd in their division and 5th overall. Their varsity team won won the championship so they were all super excited about that.
Braeden is home now and recovering. He is suppose to take it easy, but that is so hard for him to do. We will go back to the doctor in the next week or so and see what they have to say. Of course, Braeden is hoping he will be released to play in their first season game on November 3.
PS...Braeden has been playing soccer since he was 4. He has tried various other sports over the years and this was his first visit to the ER and injury ever...lucky boy.
