2 Lungs and a Family: Tournament Season

One of Graham's favorite things in this world is watching Jordan play soccer. And now that it's tournament season, Graham is bound and determined to make it to as many games as possible. This is much easier said than done.

This past weekend was Jordy's first travel tournament. We packed the ol' car to the brim with a wheelchair, oxygen (large and portable), soccer gear, soccer mom bags, carts, and don't forget the clothes; and headed to Norman, OK. It always amazes me how much my car is like a clown car, so much can fit in it!

Even though it was COLD and RAINY and at times down right miserable, J's team came home with 2nd place medals. Graham was able to tough it out through 3 of the games. He did have to rest between games and spent a lot of time in the car trying to regain some energy, but he got to go and was happy. He didn't make the last game, he was beginning to feel really bad; plus it was cold, windy and raining (he didn't need to be out there anyways).

The Championship game was miserable. I got to sit with the girls on their sidelines and attempt to keep them warm while they "sat the bench." We kept ourselves entertained - of course while watching the game, and we tried unsuccessfully to keep warm. It was all worth it though, the smiles on their faces were awesome.

The trip did take a toll on Graham. We were worried that he'd go back into the hospital. But by the end of the day on Monday, he felt as if he were just warn out not "sick." Then by Wednesday evening, he was finally feeling like normal crap not crappy crap.

Next tournament is this weekend...and the weather is suppose to be just as bad...ugh.
