A Really Bad Week This Spring

This spring we had really bad week as a family.

One night Corbin pulled a really late night (early morning) doing homework with his friend Lindsey Adams. I woke him up the next morning and he got in the shower. I went up stairs and heard this loud banging, so I ran down stairs. Corbin was having a seizure. Chantel called the ambulance while I tried to help him. He'd hit the water temp on his way down and was being water boarded with scalding hot water until I got to him. As a result he had his face burned.



Below you can see his face during a High School Soccer game. He got a concussion 2 days later at another game, and was out for much of the soccer season.

2 nights after Corbin’s seizure we got a call from Challis. Corbin handed us the phone and said, “This isn’t a good call.” Challis and his friends had been on a trip to Moab and didn’t make it. Challis was driving, overcorrected and rolled his car several times. Lucky for everyone there were no permanent injuries to him or the other 2 boys, but the car was a total loss.



Below is a picture of the car.


When I was talking to my friend, Stacy Strong, I said, “This has been one of the worst weeks of my life.” She said, “Really? Because I think someone’s really looking out for you. Both of your sons could have been dead this week. I think you’re pretty lucky.”



Just goes to show….It’s all how you look at it....

A BAD WEEK

Don't get me wrong, it started out good...

Everything was fine...A normal week. Thursday I went to lunch with some of my girlfriends, and then went to Corbin's Sophomore football game. Corbin was feeling better; It was a great game for him.

But.....the next day....things were not so good...
Below, Corbin had his "bell rung" after he took a hit to the side of his head. I got a call from the school on Friday. The VP said Corbin wasn't right, and it may be a good idea to have him checked out. Rick and I took him to the Dr. and he had a catscan. It seems to be a concussion, and he should be fine in a few days. The team medic took his helmet away, and he can't have it back until the Dr. clears him. Friday night the Varsity team had their first loss to Viewmont. Rick's car hit a dip in the Viewmont parking lot and broke a spring that cost us $700. But, there was more bad news.....

Challis wrecked his car....His fault. :(Photobucket
He had some friends in the car at the time and they are all fine, but the car isn't so good. Let's hope this bad streak is over....
