Every parent's WORST nightmare

as a parent, I rejoice with you and your wife.

As a lover of football if he plans on lifting fullbacks of their feet, he needs a bigger neck!

and not that this crew needs it, but the most dangerous thing we can do in life is sit around and waste it on the couch.

Rodger that...the kids physique changes by the day.  While he is the skinniest lineman your likely to see he has been getting it done.  He won defensive player of the year last year (his first season), made All Stars this year, and his helmet is loaded with stickers and gouges...what he lack in size he makes up for in intensity...but that combo is likely how he ended up in the wagon!

That is some scary stuff, Sean. And Jelly.
Great news that Jelly is doing better. Hopefully you can turn it into a positive and be an even stronger person (and football player). If not physically, then at least mentally stronger.

I know its just HS football but I had a few—dislocated shoulder and broken collarbone (same arm) in the same season. The hardest part was sitting on the sidelines with my arm in a sling during CCS playoffs against Oak Grove. But overcoming those obstacles made me a stronger person and a smarter player.

And, yeah, you’ve probably heard it 1000 times now….but…you should always be able to “see what you’re tackling.” Never put your chin down towards your chest before impact.

Do what it takes to get healthy. And then get back out there!
Good luck to Jelly and the whole family,
PK

Jeez Sean,
Glad to hear that Chris is alright.  Can't really imagine what you and Leah were going through.  Andy and I's thoughts are with you guys.

Glad he's OK.

That is a nightmare........been there myself.

Dave

man...I just came across this post (I'm computerless at home - for now) Glad jelly is OK. Tell that kid I miss fishing with him. It broke my heart that he did not even say "Hi" to me when I saw him last at BAM IV...hell, I did not even recognize him until Sean pointed him out  HE HAS GROWN!!!!

Sean--best wishes for Chris's speedy recovery.

I know how you feel my kid skateboards and wont use a helmet no madder what you say to him because helmets are for pussyes
OK son whatever you say. glad your kid is OK  pray for mine

Wow, glad to hear everything worked out well.

Whew!
Sure puts things in perspective when something like that happens.
As a father of a kid the same age I was definitely feeling ya.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad things worked out for the best.

Thanks all for all of the kind words.

Duane-I hear you...Jelly is there too except on a BMX bike.  yourkid looks like he knows what hes doing, that is a sweet nose pick in that one shot.

Moochy-we need to get you guys together so you can rekindle the love. 

Glad to hear your son is OK SBD. Our kids can definitely scare the hell out of us at times. I can finally begin to imagine how my folks felt with the three of us boys growing up. My son is only 11 and he has put my wife and on on pins and needles several times.

Take Care,
Ray

WOW!!! sorry to hear you had to live that nightmare. i am happy it all worked out o.k. I am so glad i have daughters. 
i am curios how he got the nickname jelly? that kid is anything but jelly.

It was Jellyfish...then Jelly.  Jellyfish was coined by Mooch after he hooked a number of jellys while salmon fishing.

I still prefer "Pan Blanco"!
