This one is pretty lengthy

It was Wednesday the 19th of November at 4PM. Trev's 1st Wrestling match ever with the opponent's being Greendale (Greenfields arch rivals), on their home mats. Trev had been practicing so hard and the coaches had been pretty impressed with his beginning ability. That in itself gave him more confidence than he had to begin with. He talked about all the moves he had learned nightly. He would come in all jacked up sharing and couldn't wait to show the tactics on Dear OLE dad. I was pretty impressed with his strength, when he picked up Pete and gave him a half heave ho in the kitchen one night. He was so excited not just get on the mat with teammates at practice, but to await the day he could go all out.

Well to get on with the story. There are usually 3 1 minute periods. Trev got injured in the 1st and did not lead on because he was doing well and on his way to winning the match. It was not only a match, but his very first one. So he continued to push on through the 2nd and 3rd. He ended up losing by 2 points even after trying so hard INJURED. Afterwards a teammate noticed his collar bones were lopsided. He then went out of the gym and I thought he was going for a drink. Well to my dismay he went to find a coach who then in turn sought out a medical person. I had no idea what was going on till she waved me from the stands. I saw the HUGE grimace on his face and knew right then and there something was very wrong. She told me that I would probably want to get him to the hospital. My throat felt like it hit the floor with a sandbag on top. So I had him wait for me at the front door and rushed to my car. I was struggling for keys on the ground by the back door and once I found them proceeded to open and slam my car door into my face. So to the front I go and Pete shows up. He parks his truck and off we go.

I will only say I was LESS than pleased with the staff on duty that night at Childrens. So after a Tylenol/Oxycontin pill, IV, Morphine, X-rays, infusion we were pretty much sent home with him still in excruciating pain and no answers as to why he was suffering. They said oh..... He does not have any broken collar bones. Ya! he probably cracked the bridge of his nose, but we can't do anything for that till the swelling goes down so it's no use in taking a X-ray of that.

Today we made a trip to the Orthopedic Doc and within a half hour and 2 X-rays. Yes Trev did break his collar bone in a place most don't. He also broke his nose and it will have to be straightened. He is in a big Velcro immobilizer and we have to go back the Monday after Thanksgiving. They will see how things are progressing and then they will make the decision if surgery is needed or not.

Unfortunately as you can probably guess. He is done for the season. He is very disappointed and I am sad for him. He so looked forward to kicking BUTT.

I do have to add that he called his coach and the coach along with others were like you are such a warrior for going through the last 2 periods with that pain. The coach admitted that he could of NEVER done it with that sort of injury. Here are the few pics I got. The movie is of the last period. He was awesome and you would of never knew he was hurt.

I LOVE THE STRENGTH AND PERSEVERANCE HE SHOWS.

HE MAKES US SO PROUD. (Our Warrior)
