    Been a real tough 5 days...... my son who has battled back from missing his sophomore season of football after breaking his hand. Last season as the backup RB had a fantastic season. Scoring a TD in 6 straight games and started to draw interest from a couple colleges to come play. He continued to grind and train for this his senior season. He is now the starting RB and ready to shine.


    Friday night in their season opening game the kid gets the ball on the first 4 plays and rushes for 75 yards leading them to a FG. First play on defense at LB he snaps two bones in his leg. Tibia and fibula!



    Family is completely in shock, everybody. This is what this kid has been working for for years. Overwhelmed by all the family and friends reaching out to him. Antonio Harvey, Coach Rice and MB. All have known him since he was a baby. Meyers even sent him a video telling him to keep his head up.
    Well today he went in for surgery and it was a success. Today is day one of his comeback. A handful of you in here reached out and that was very cool of you guys, thank you. My mind is a mess with all this going on and just needed to share. Nothing tougher to see than your child in pain like that.

    Bummer. Kind of reminds me of my grandson's high school career. First he broke his ankle in the last game of the season his 8th grade year which messed up the start of his basketball season. Then his sophomore year he tears a pcl and misses the season and then his senior year with about 3 games to go he tears his rotator cuff and needs surgery again and misses the basketball season. Toss in another PCL injury and major knee surgery. Through all this I never saw my grandson play the pity game and instead held his head high.

    My youngest daughter also faced a very serious ordeal going into her senior year of soccer as she was diagnosed with a large tumor in her abdomen and went through 5 hours of surgery to have it removed. Her doctor, who was a good friend as his son and my son played on the same team at FC Portland said he would do everything he could to be as least evasive as possible and was successful in being able to do it. She actually played her first game just 10 days after having major abdominal surgery that removed a 10lb. tumor. It scared the crap out of me, but she was determined and the doctor gave her permission and cleared her.

    I hope your son can make a quick recovery and remind him that even though sports seems like a big deal right now, in reality it is just a small part of his life and he has a bright future ahead of him and still able to accomplish many things. Good luck to him and offer up all the support you can.

    Why you gotta make this thread political? Republicans don't take pain killers?

    Really lucked out. Blazers’ team trainer Geoff Clark reached out SUnday night asking me to send a picture of his X-rays to him. He forwarded them on to the team doctors and they did the rest. Blessed to have become friends with some people that know people I guess. Think of me what you will from how I put people on blast on this crazy ass forum, but I am a people person. Trying to instill in my kids to never burn bridges and to always look people in the eyes when you talk. Never know when you might need a little help in this world. Thanks for letting me share here FAMS!

    Sorry to hear about that, John. My dudes are still little, but my 7 year old started soccer this year. I can only imagine how it would feel to see one of them hurt doing what they love.

    He’s young and I’m sure he’ll make a quick recovery. That’s really great of the team docs to help him out.

    now he'll just have to get into college the old fashioned way. Now if he can figure out what the old fashioned way is, please let the rest of us know.
