A broken arm and wrist is just not enough........

This week end saw split duties on the soccer front in the Bowden household.  Bambeano was in his 2nd week playing as bubble boy while Boo Boo and I had a 2 hr trek to Boone for her game.  Of course life wouldn't be easy on us to allow for an overnight stay we had to drive the 2hrs back to be back for another game on Sunday........

During Boo Boo's game I was getting regular text updates from Bambeno's game.  The kid is unstoppable with another 4 goals to his tally and not forgetting the one he scored for the other team to make 5 in one game......Don't fret it was not an own goal but in fact Bombshell offered Bambeano to the other team as they did not have enough players.....Now if that doesn't shut all the nay sayers up then I don't know what will.....

So after hearing the great display of play from Bombshell's team I put my focus back to photographing for Boo Boo's game.  The game started of quite bad with the box getting crowded and Boo Boo not taking control....this is one thing we need to work with her on as she is the controller of the box and if she can't see she needs to shout at her team....I'm not surprised she couldn't see the box was filled with about 6 of her team mates and that wasn't even counting the other team.....so we were down 1-0.  Well I think something must have snapped in Boo Boo because she came back with her head in the game......  Here she is coming out and controlling a corner

 

With thundering going off all round us and rain showers on and off it was making for an interesting game.....with the score at 6-2 and 6 minutes to go the refs called for lightening.  We were on an 18 minutes delay....seriously with 6 minutes to go.....As we sat in the cars waiting the downpour came with no sun or break in the clouds.  So at this point we got word from both team coaches the games was called......Now for the LOOOOONG drive home.

We end up at some great friends for dinner and all the kids seem to be happily playing and having fun...Roll onto to Sunday morning and Bambeano complains that his foot hurts, thinking he must have just slept on it funny I brush it off as "pins and needles" and tell him he needs to get up so we can go and pick Boo Boo up (she spent the night) but he continues to complain of his foot and refuses to put his shoe on....now I am starting to question whether I should take him to Urgent care (of course not the same place as where we went for his arm)

So after a 40 minute trip to Urgent care we come away with possibly sprained ligaments or a fracture at the growth plate.....now in a boot until May 2.  I am pretty sure DSS will be knocking on my door in the distant future....So for now Bambeano's soccer days are over.  Here's hoping May 2 brings some good news for a change and he only has sprained ligaments :)

Broken arm....no problem.....

After an eventful trip last week Bambeano has been in his cast just over a week and don't think that has stopped him.

Bambeano has excitedly received many signatures so his cast has gone from a bright green color to more of a dirty shade with all the sharpie signatures, comments and of course not to forget the dirt.

Soccer Saturday came and both kids were local, thank goodness, onto Boo Boo's game and oh boy you could tell the girls had been on spring break, their head was definitely not in the game and so we suffered our 1st loss of the season. 

Off to Bambeano's, but oh before I forget, if it was not bad enough he was playing soccer with a cast, more to come on that later, I realize it was PICTURE DAY, yippee a soccer picture with a bright green cast, memorable one for sure.....

Pictures over and we settle to watch the game before ours and the referee comes over to talk to us, he has taken a shine to Bambeano telling us he loves to watch him play, and see the cast.  We tell him he will become bubble boy in less than an hour and we laugh and joke, he shares his story of his broken arm from playing soccer that was so gruesome his bone came right through his skin.......ugh.  He then goes on to tell Bambeano he liked his bone just like you do with ribs, Bambeano's face was PRICELESS

With the bubble wrap and tape out the wrapping begins.  With Bambeano having an "L" cast it was imperative we had to wrap him good to protective the other kids from getting hurt more that protecting him. 

He didn't like it he said it made him "all sweaty" in his words but he was a trooper and stuck with it as he knew it was the only way he could play.....and boy did he play....no sooner was he on the pitch he scores twice, one with his left foot (not his natural foot of course) that got past the keeper but his second goal was a corker, hitting hit on a half volley from the left side to hit into the far right side netting, what a FANTASTIC goal......the boy is unstoppable even with a cast, so another win under Coach Bombshell's belt and another 2 goals to Bambeano's tally...that is 7 so far this season
