It's been so long since I last blogged, but this past week and a half has been SOO hectic. First off, last Tuesday the 28th of August, Drew was hit in practice and went helmet to helmet with an defensive line player. He ended up getting a concussion, and it was a pretty severe one. The next day, Wednesday, he had a fever of 104* and was throwing up. We knew something was wrong because concussions aren't accompanied by fevers. Turns out, he now also has the flu! So we were dealing with a concussion and the flu and all the great things that comes along with that (yuck!). Sooooooo he missed the first home game which was a bummer because all the family came down to watch but it worked out good because on Sunday he was taken to the emergency room because his fever still hadn't broken and he was now experiencing night sweats and a horrible cough. At the emergency room, after about 4 1/2 hours, they told us he has pneumonia. Wow. I couldn't believe it. So we have been drugging him up on antibiotics and just trying to get him healed up and back on the field as soon as possible.
It has been KILLING me to see him suffering so much and so hurt that he hasn't been able to do what he loves, playing football. He will miss the second game also, which is this weekend but we are shooting for the goal of getting him back on the field by next weekend!! I am just so thankful for our families that have helped get us through this. On a positive note, I started my new job today and will begin formal training tomorrow! I am excited and I think this will be a great change for both of us! We will see how it goes in the next few days! Hopefully I can catch on quickly :)
