Last weekend we made the trek to Mason City, IA. It was "old home" weekend. Braeden played in the very arena and on the very sheet of ice Brad and I got engaged on in January 1998. It was very sweet!
Poor Brae was feeling punky at, yet, another tourney. Saturday his first game was at 7 AM. So, Brad and Braeden hitched a ride with another Dad and teammate and we brought the mom and little brother with us later. After they left for the game I feel back asleep soundly and was awoke to Tammy telling me her and Justin were ready whenever we were and waiting in the lobby. Yikes, did we have to scramble! The Huskies ended up losing to Mason City in the first game. Back at the hotel Braeden was looking tired. I
asked Brad to feel if he felt warm. Brad said he did and we took his temp, 100.9. I gave him a probiotic (the wonder drug in my arsenal) and told him to rest. His next game was at 2:30 PM. Closer to game time I pumped him with Motrin. I usually don't like to give the kids ibuprofen or Tylenol. I find they don't rest and I like to let the temperature run it's course unless it gets too high or they are in too much pain.They won there next game and Braeden played very well. He has been playing Defense the majority of this season. Although, he would definitely prefer forward. But, the kid is too darn good on D and by far the fastest skater on the team. The Motrin did the job and he was able to enjoy some hotel time with his team mates. After, we took Laken, Clara and him on the tour de Mason City!
Sunday, we were awoke by a Thunderstorm and Bra
eden's temp was at 101.1. We followed the same regime of probiotic and Motrin. It, again worked as his team brought home the 2nd place trophy in this round robin tourney!
