An oopsie and an update

Neil had his "Intro to Coaching" event Saturday, that we were following up with a scout visit to Miltary and Police Museum in Dunedin and a poker night with a bunch of the other scout/soccer parents. Coaching was first though. He was so excited. He's already bought his cleats, but he needed soccer shorts and a few new Tshirts to match them. We stopped at Wal-mart and then headed to Dunedin. (Even though we live on the beach, Dunedin is our homebase. It's about 35 minutes away. Soccer, scouts, all the kids friends, my mom, and even most of the boys doctors are there. All we do anywhere near home is school and the beach.)

Neil dropped us off at his co-den leaders house while he went to his coaching thing. He was demonstrating one of the drills and somehow twisted his knee. It swelled up and was finally hurting enough that he wanted to go to the ER! It was Saturday and there was no Ortho on call at the little rinkydink hospital we went to. We sat for 4 hours. The PA that we saw, who is also a soccer player, thinks he has torn some ligaments in his knee. He is on crutches and in a brace (and somehow planning on coaching tonight and going camping this weekend) while we wait on an appointment with an Ortho.

In other news, Andrew went to the doc yesterday about his stomach. We didn't see our regular doc and I am kind of upset by it. She seems to think that he is just a picky eater while I think he has some food sensitivities. We butted heads but she did finally decide to do some tests to see if there is blood in his poop. Taking a stool sample is GROSS and that's all I'm saying.

Andrew and Neil have their first soccer practice tonight. Lukas and I are going to stay home and watch American Idol. LOL

Tommorrow Lukas goes to see his ENT about his constant snoring and apnea. He was in bed with us this morning (I am soooo ready for THAT to be over) and he did the whole gasp for air thing 5 times in 45 minutes.

Thursday is Elton John and Billy Joel!!!

Friday we leave for camp AGAIN....we'll be gone until Sunday afternoon. The guys have their first game Saturday morning at 10:30. =)

My babies are all grown up!
