On Hold
So it has been some time since I posted about Trenton wrestling. The reason...well, first came the ankle sprain which lasted quite longer than expected. Trenton actually started back live wrestling about two weeks ago. He has been going lightly on his ankle because the doctor had noticed that the sprain was actually in a strange area which was much harder to heal. Unfortunately, time was something Trenton didn't have if he wanted to get back on the mat for the season. On probably the third day of live wrestling I got a call from Trenton saying he had hit his head pretty hard against one of his teammates. Trenton immediately had the dry heaves and was dizzy. I asked him if he had told his coach and he said no and that he did not go to the trainer either. Ben and I told him that he most definitely should let coach know and should see the trainer the next day. Since this is the fourth time he has gotten a concussion we were very worried that the doctor would tell him that sports were not an option anymore, but Trenton's life means far more to us than any sport could. He took our advice and told the trainer. Doctor Bob made the appointment for yesterday afternoon. The good news...Trenton is not done with sports. The bad news...he is probably done for the season (since there is only a month left). Trenton will have to take it easy and take some tests when his symptoms subside. Even better news...he is already starting to feel better. This was just a reminder, however, that even though we love to watch him wrestle, his well being is priceless to us. That is all that matters. Wrestling is just the icing on the cake, so to put. So, this is why there has not been much posting about Trenton's wrestling at North Central. He is absolutely still part of the team, just taking a bit of a break to get healthy.
