Chapel Hill High School Football in Tyler, Texas!!

As most of you know, if you read my blog at all, is that my amazing son-in-law is a Grad Student working on his master and working at the Chapel Hill High School as an Athletic Trainer!  We went to Tyler Friday night to watch the team and to see him on the sidelines doing his thing....and we did get to see him work with a player that got hurt so that was kind of neat....not that someone got hurt, but that he really knows what he is doing!!

Aileen loved every minute of the football game, from watching the players on the field, to seeing John on the sidelines, to the marching band, baton twirlers, and cheer leaders!! She loved it all.  It was fun to watch her rock out to the music and enjoy the show!!

It's always fun to get to be with Allison and visit and catch up!  We seem to be getting more and more excited about our Grandbaby!!  Allison had some cute clothes to show us and on the way home Alan said, "I'm getting really excited about having a granddaughter!!"  Me too!  Thanks Allison and John for your hospitality!!

We had to park a long ways away from the stadium and had to walk on grassy uneven ground and on the way back to the car, Aileen fell in a little hole we think, and she really leaned on me for help to get to the rest of the way to the car, but then she seemed to be o.k. going up the stairs to Allison's apartment.  And Saturday she seemed o.k, although I went a lot of places Saturday, but she didn't, so that may be why we didn't notice then.....but then, Sunday she seemed to really not want to put weight on her left foot.  So once again, I got out the YES/NO cards and asked her these questions:

Does your foot hurt?   Yes

Is it your right foot?  No

Is it your left foot?  Yes

Do we need to take you to the doctor?  Yes

So we left after my Sunday school lesson (Gospel Doctrine) and took her to Harris SW Emergency room and had an x-ray taken.  There was no fracture seen, but there was some swelling of the 5th metatarsal base, and they thought she could have a severe sprain or a hairline fracture that they can't see.....

They put her in a boot.  And after she got use to the awkwardness of it she is walking faster and more securely.

I called the Doctor I work for who is an excellent podiatrist, and he is going to look at the x-ray's tomorrow and blow them up so he can really look and see what is going on.  He also told us to ice it tonight and for her to sleep in the boot!!  Poor baby, and then we will see what happens after tomorrow!!



Diet Coke makes everything better and keeps me from yanking on the hospital braclets!!

Putting the boot on my tiny foot!!

all done and getting ready to leave the hosptial!!

Never a dull minute at our house!!  We love you Aileen!!
