This blog is a reflection of sickness and sports. My pics didn't quite go in the order I wanted them to go but Hey, I can roll with that. Ha. When Jay was a baby, he was sick, A LOT. He had tubes in his ears before his first birthday. He had his tonsils/adenoids out when he was 6. He was tested for cystic fibrosis before he was 2. He had pneumonia when he was 5. As far as injuries go, he fractured his finger in third grade which then became infected. He had surgery on his finger and was hospitalized for 2 nights, 3 days. I remember when he was little everyone kept telling me that he would be the healthiest kid into elementary school. I think I did a lot of eye rolling back at those people out of frustration. Ha. But it turns out, they were right. Jay had perfect attendance in 5th grade and middle school (so far). He is never sick - only when he eats too many sweets and barfs (that's another story/blog).
Sports has been vital to Jay (and us, ha). He played football in 4th and 5th grade. He wasn't crazy about it though. He didn't like the contact.
Basketball is Jay's true love. He started playing in 4th grade and is still playing. He loves it and we all love watching him on the court. I think the picture above was taken in 5th grade.
And here we have another injury. He was two in this picture and took a tumble on a driveway. Jay was and is always on the move - always!
Jay and his nebulizer got to be very close when he was little. In the picture above he was 5 and had pneumonia.
And here he is out on the water with his grandparents. His grandpa likes to tease him that when it comes to adventure on the boat, he's a trooper but when it comes to water skiing, he's a pooper. Ha. Jay isn't crazy about skiing (just like his dad).
Jay ran cross country in 6th and 7th grade. I wouldn't say he's in love with it but he realizes the benefits of it. It remains to be seen if he runs in 8th grade.
Jay ran track in 6th grade and enjoyed it.
And here is he in the present time, 7th grade ball. I'm really proud of Jay. As I write this, he's managed to run cross country and play basketball and get all A's and B's on his report card. What an accomplishment!
