Brock's team was playing their first playoff game and they were excited. About 10 minutes into the game, Brock made a great tackle but ended up hitting his head on the ground. He came out for a few plays and then went back in. Another great play and another hit on the ground with his head. This time he was crying with pain and didn't get up. An ER nurse on the sidelines checked him out and his neck hurt so she said not to move him. The ambulance was summoned and they went to work on him. Knowing how much ambulances cost, I thought we should have just thrown him in the back of the car and taken him to be checked. I kept that opinion to myself as I didn't want to look like the unconcerned mother. LOL
They totally taped his head to the backboard and strapped him down. He couldn't move even if he wanted to. That backboard later became a "sore spot" literally for Brock later on. I felt like someone in a very bad parade riding in the front of the ambulance and waving to people as we left.
The doc wanted to make sure everything was okay so he sent Brock for a scan.
Brock's teammates were very upset that Brock was hurt. He is usually the guy leading them in their cheers and pumping them up. There were some tears but they dedicated the game to Brock and came back to win.
Because we waited so long to take off the neck brace, it actually started hurting Brock the most. He was so glad to get it off after finding everything was okay and also glad to hear the team won.
We appreciate the many phone calls and inquiries into Brock's welfare. What a great bunch of people we get to call friends.

I had the same thought about just driving him to the hospital, then I laughed when I saw you did also. I'm glad he is okay and his team is doing so well. Good luck on the game saturday.
