Concussion

This afternoon we headed to Burroughs Park to watch Camden play with the 2009 boys. While he was defending the goal, a player from the other team kicked the ball and it hit Camden on the right cheek and straight down he went. There are floppers in soccer, even at Camden's age, but Camden is definitely not one to go to the ground unless he is hurt. So once I realized it was him, my heart sank. Of course, mommas aren't allowed on the field, so I stood on the sidelines waiting for what seemed like an eternity. After Coach Jessie went out, Camden finally got up and headed to the side lines. The team manager (and mom of the goalie) gave me a thumbs up. A bit later, she motioned me to come over there and said that Camden was complaining of dizziness and a headache and felt we needed to be seen by the athletic trainer who is at the fields to help injured players. She just told us we should follow up with our physician.

Grateful that he was OK, but sad that he had a concussion we headed home for him to rest.
