I thought I would update you on Stephen's injury from the Team Ukraine game. We took him to the emergency room and they put him on crutches. A week later I took him to the doctor for a follow-up visit. This doctor explained better what happened. Apparently Stephen put so much force on his front thigh muscle that it tore the muscle away from his pelvis pulling bone with it. He has to not run or jump for a week then Mar 15 the doctor will take an x-ray to see if it is healing properly. He won't be able to play contact sports until April 1. So that pretty much does it for him playing soccer for West Jordan. He was pretty upset but I told him if he did what the doctor said he would heal properly and be able to play next year. I asked the lacrosse coach of Troy's team if he could come and help be a manager, and he said that would be fine. Maybe that will help ease the pain of not being able to play. He's a good kid and is obeying the doctor's orders. It helps when his friends come and get him to hang out with them. He has made some great friends at the school.

So glad that he is going to be okay. I felt awful when it happened. Did you check out the video I put up? It has the scene where it happened. It is the only slow motion clip. You can see it better on You tube.
