So today started out as any other Tuesday, we get up we get ready and go to soccer. But that is where our normalcy ended.
Colin started out fine at soccer, but then in a game where he was trying to get Coach Matt, Coach Matt moved and Colin took a head dive into the wall. He cried, but seemed to be fine after Emma gave him a hug. He played a few games but then when it was time to scrimmage he wasn't fine anymore. Normally my sweet Colin is a ball hog at soccer always the kid out in front with the ball that everyone else is chasing, well not today. He just stood in one spot the whole time mouth open staring off at nothing. This was rather alarming, especially when even a drink of Mtn. Dew and a Starburst couldn't get him to play. So I called the doctor to get him in before class was even over.
Oddly on the way to the doctor's office he was able to tell me our phone number which he hasn't been able to do up to this time. We were able to get in to see the doctor and she said that he looked fine and was acting fine, but still had a small bit of concern since he was just staring off during class.
So it was off to the imaging lab for Colin to get a CT scan. I thought that he would be okay with it since it was like going through a big donut, but he wasn't happy about it. I stood and held his hand the entire time trying to keep him calm and still through his tears. He did good though, he was able to stay pretty still and we were in and out of the office in less than 15 minutes. We were told we should have the results in a couple of hours so that is where we are . . . waiting, just waiting for the doctor's office to call.
Colin and Emma are both taking naps now, so hopefully once Colin wakes up he will be back to himself and be ready to play!
Two hours and 15 minutes later . . . his scan is fine! He may have a headache (which he is complaining about) but otherwise he should be fine! Yay!! Hopefully next week will be better at soccer with less head trauma!
