As you can see Garrett did not get to play today. The Dr. would not give him clearance to play. He went in for a normal physical and came out heart broken. Last week he was spearheaded right in the chest at practice with a helmet right below the pads. He has been in quite a bit if pain all week. He has been wearing a rib brace. The doc suspects cracked rib cartilage and badly bruised chest muscles.
Garrett also was shoved by another kid (temper issues) in April. His foot touched his hip. Another doc put him on crutches for 2 weeks after X-rays showed no break. He wears a brace to do sports because it just does not give him support any more. Well, our new doc said it is far too loose to be safe, so they are doing an MRI on Tuesday to rule out torn ligaments or cartilage damage.
Since he is Home schooled; 6th grade is the last year they will allow him to play football. He is more than bummed and cried all the way home. Not usual for him!! He loves his sports. If it is surgery, he will be done for the season...
