A Rough Day

My poor Sawyer. Today we woke him up a little after 7am because he had
a basketball game at 8am this morning. Jake took Sawyer and Dempsey
and I went after I finished getting ready.

When I got to the game I couldn't find Jake on the bleachers. I
finally saw him sitting with Sawyer on the team chairs. Sawyer was
crying. Jake appeared to be consoling him.

Eventually they both came over to me at the bleachers. I had been
informed by my dad and a few other parents that Sawyer had collided
with a team mate and gotten the raw end of the deal. When I saw him I
noticed he had a FAT lip. Poor guy.

He came and laid in my arms. Shed a few tears. Explained a little of
what happened. I held him the rest of the game. He decided togo down
and give end of game high-fives. I went down and realized he was the
one praying for everyone and the day. Precious boy.

When we got home I rubbed some wintergreen/ coconut oil on his neck to
help the sore muscles. I didn't want him to get super stiff.

He still stiffened up, unfortunately. So, I rubbed some more oil on
his neck and then we put an ice pack on his neck to help with
inflammation.

He has good spirits and energy but has limited motion when it comes to
tilting his head to the right toward his shoulder. :-( We will watch
it today, keep massaging with oils, stretching and see how he does.
