Cruz's lacrosse season ended strong. The kid that played his position got a concussion so Cruz got to start the last 3 games of the season. The first game he didn't play great, the second game Cruz was on fire, and the third game he played pretty good. The season ended last Friday. Cruz was sick all week last week but he pushed thru because he had this opportunity to start and play. By Monday of this week (the night of the closing banquet for lacrosse) Cruz was so sick I decided to take him to instacare. He ended up testing positive for influenza A and covid. No wonder one day before a game last wednesday, I picked him up from school early and he slept 5 hours, I had to wake him up and give him a Coke before the game. Not my finest mom moment. But I told Cruz about Michael Jordan and how he played insane when he had the stomach flu one game. Cruz pulled out a true Michael Jordan story and played well and had 2 goals. He has been home pretty dang sick in his room this week. I think Cruz was so happy he played lacrosse this year. He was able to make connections and friendships that can only happen on sports teams. His coach was great and he is starting to get the love of the game back.
