Saturday began with a 9am funeral for a relative by marriage, and really neat woman. Then it was off to catch up with Fen's Uncle Bobby before the game. Though the pictures don't show him much worse for the wear, Fender somehow managed to lean in and hit his head on the only hard part of a soft footstool and got it right on the vein. In moments, his vein was protruding and all around the spot was swelling...way too fast for my liking. We were calm as needed to be and worked our way upstairs to get some ice to see if the swelling would stop. It was very unnerving and yes, we mentioned a possible trip to the doctor, but as it turned out, that wasn't necessary. Thank God! When we got into the elevator, despite the injury seemingly continuing to grow, the moment Fender spotted the pool out the glass windowed elevator, he was fascinated, stopped crying and had moved on. Drew and I continued to worry, though I knew if he was that easily over it, and he wasn't passing out from the pressure, and the fact that the bump was going out and not "in", that these were all good signs and he was probably going to be just fine. Thanks also, to Uncle Bobby for worrying enough to have his trainer (Brian) take a look at him and confirm a bad contusion. The trainer said he seemed in good spirits, and a doctor's visit probably wasn't necessary, but to be sure to keep ice on it a bit longer and make sure the bump starts going down. Yea. Yikes. And ouch.
Bobby headed for a little rest before practice and we met up with a friend of ours at the Galleria. She and Drew started working at Watson Wyatt at the same time, several years back, though neither are there now. She has three kids now and they are all so precious. Her oldest, girl is pictured below with Fender. She has a boy who is three and a baby girl who is only a couple of months old. It was great to see her and the kids.
After the galleria, we headed to watch DC United play FC Dallas in Frisco. More pics from the day are in the post just below this one. These are from the first part of the day. And by the way...DC got a shut out. Way to go Bobby! And they won 4-0.
