Update - No Update

Mini - update: No real news back from the doctors. They called yesterday to say that the bloodwork has to be sent to 4 different labs. ??!?!!?!?  So, they said they will call us back on Friday with the + or - on the crazy parasite scenario. At that point we will likely schedule the surgery. So, the update is...we don't really know any more.

Also, Collin had his first soccer "game." His age group is pretty "loose" with the term game:) Dave took him last night. It was cold and rainy of course. The verdict on the "game" was.......good and bad.  He did as I was worried about and did pick the ball up with his hands at one point (and ran to another field). He got pummeled by the other kids and stood and cried. He wanted to play with HIS ball and didn't understand that they couldn't use their own balls anymore. And unfortunately, there are some bullys on his team!! I saw it at his first practice. The coach's daughter was so awful - pushing him and stealing his ball (when they were supposed to use their own). She is older and bigger than him. It was one of those mama bear moments for me. I wanted to set that girl straight! 

Well, Dave said the same thing after last night. When Collin got hurt (blood!) she ran down the field and scored, I think, then ran back to taunt him about being a baby and crying. They are on the same team! Dave did his best to calm him down and help him understand what to do (not much instruction from anyone else.)

But the good news was that he also did well! He is awesome at dribbling the ball down the field and he actually scored a goal!!! So.....I was ready to say we will wait a year, but we don't want them to think they should just quit when it is hard. So, we'll keep trying. He is literally the youngest out there. And honestly, halfway decent weather would help!! Kate has her first game tomorrow evening.
