The Football Game that Never Was

On Thursday the 15th Grandpa and I went to Grantsville to watch Nate play football. Well it was the game that he never played. Tonya and MacKenzie came to go with us and we picked up Heather on our way to give mom a little break. Grandma packed a nice lunch and the weather was absolutely beautiful. It was a very nice drive to Grantsville and we were looking forward to this nice afternoon and then planning on being home about 7:30. Well the minute we got to the stands Tonya said "Something is wrong with Nate". Talk about a mother's intuition ---- she was absolutely right. He did not go into the game for the kick off which he usually does and he seemed to be staying apart from everyone. At half time the coach headed him toward the stands and his mother headed down towards him. Sure enough he had been having some hard pains. We packed up and headed to Aunt Amy's. They had checked out the Insta-Care for insurance and found that it would work for Nate and so Grandpa, Tonya and Nate headed to Toole to Insta-Care. No it was not his appendix ---but he had a strep throat and that can cause pains in the stomach area. A wait at the local Wal-Mart along with a million other people and a Z-pack was gotten. Now what to do --- we had Heather and she needs to be kept healthy so Sam does not get ill. A call to her parents and it was decided we would have her ride with us to their house. Nate in the front seat and Heather in the back. We arrived home about nine that night. Never a dull moment it seems. But we are so grateful that everything worked out okay. So far Nate is getting better, Heather is well and poor Sam has a little cold.
