Well boys, we went almost 13 years without any of you breaking any bones. Today on the football field, Riley became the first Baughboy to break something....we always knew that he would be the first. Riley was playing cornerback, and we were playing the West Hall Spartans 9U team. They had a running back that was about twice Riley's size and he took the ball around the right edge. Riley fought off his blocker and made a great solo tackle on the kid. But as Riley tackled him, the boys knee came down on Riley's left elbow. Riley immediately was hurt, but we did not know how bad it was. We thought that he had just gotten the wind knocked out of him, but as his coach got to him, and screamed "bring the cart!!!" I knew something was wrong....and I took off running. Riley's elbow was dislocated, and Sonya Vaughn popped it back in place on the field. We took Riley for x-rays, and they determined that he had a chipped bone in his elbow. They took him out of activities for 2 weeks....I would say that those 2 weeks were some of the hardest of Riley's life so far....he hates not to be running around!
