Tyler's soccer tournament in Flagstaff started out so nice. It was beautiful weather that required sweatshirts and jeans. His team won their first game of the tournament (and of their season). Tyler and most of his teammates did not take time off this summer but actually trained all summer to be ready to come out strong this fall. Their hard work was being rewarded.
However, in the second game Tyler got tangled up with one of his opponents which is quite common in a soccer game. However this time, his cleats apparently got hooked into the other player's shoelace because when the boy ran by, Tyler's ankle got turned and popped! This was not something Tyler could just walk off and return to play. He was out for the rest of the weekend.
Once we returned home, we took him to the doctor and found out he actually has a torn ligament. He was immediately put in a cast up to his knee where he will remain for 6 weeks! He then will be "rehabbing" for a few weeks before he can even think about returning to the soccer field. It's going to be a long 8 weeks for a boy who lives and breathes SOCCER!
