Headed to the semi-finals!!!

I warn you that this is a long post, but definitely worth the read :)

We beat Hoover 5-4 last night!!!! It was a GREAT game....an awesome Vestavia/Hoover rivalry :) We will leave for Oxford tomorrow. We play game #1 tomorrow (Friday at 5:00) and game 2 (and game 3 if necessary) starting Saturday at 1:00. I will try to post a quick note whether or not if we win tomorrow night. It's gonna be tough because our best three pitchers can't pitch until Saturday and Oxford will have all their pitchers ready to go for tomorrow's game. That' s ok though....I think our guys will pull together tomorrow and back up our pitcher. Also, Oxford tried to well, how do I put this "pull one over on us" (that's the nice way to put it). They wanted to play TWO games tomorrow, knowing they have all thier pitching and we won't. The decision was left up to the AHSAA and thankfully they ruled with us. It will be tough, so I ask that you send your prayers and luck to the Vestavia team and coaches once again.

On a bad note, Cole is STILL SICK!! He still runs a fever and I can't tell if the antibiotics are working now. Also, he got a rash tonight that I'm hoping is a fever/heat rash. I am alternating Motrin and Tylenol every three hours (thanks to great advice from my friend, Staci Cox....thanks so much Staci!!!) and Dr. Stone asked to see Cole again tomorrow morning. So it looks like we'll be heading to the Dr. once again before heading to Oxford. Well, I'm off to wash clothes and pack! Oh! Did I mention that I have an sinus infection....yup! Sick or not, Cole and I are going to make it Oxford one way or another to see his daddy coach in the semis for the first time!!!!
