A Night in the Emergency Room.

I know that as far as mothers of three boys goes, I have not spent near as many hours in the emergency room as most. However any time is too much time as far as I am concerned.

Ryno’s first playoff game was held Friday night in McMinnville Oregon. We stopped off in Salem and picked up my Grandma and Grandpa "B". It started out rough. We got lost on our way to the game. We missed the opening kick off, and it went down hill from there.

We were behind by two touchdowns going into the second quarter. Then the quarterback threw Ryno a long pass that he caught. Just as he caught the ball, he was tackled hard. It seemed like it was taking him a long time to get up. When they helped him off the field in the general direction of the ambulance instead of back towards his team, I figured it must be bad.

His shoulder was obviously out of its socket and he needed to go the E.R. We opted to drive him ourselves (mistake). By the time we got there Ryno was hurting pretty bad and just wanted to be put out of his misery.

They had to knock him out to put his shoulder back into its socket. Sorry I don’t have any pics of that. Ryan of course had to be in on that procedure.

After our evening in the E.R. we all went back to Grandma and Grandpa "B"s for the night. By the time we got back there Ryno was feeling pretty good and just enjoying visiting with everyone.

The after affects of his injury have not been too bad. He had to wear a sling for a couple of weeks but is feeling good and excited about starting basketball practice. (By the way we lost the game)
