FRESHMAN!

Kayla beat out a Jr. and a Sr. for starting position on her HS soccer team! Woop Woop! Go Kayla! She is playing in the middle with our friend Drea and they are AWESOME! (Drea is on Anna's club soccer team and her little sister is on Kayla's team.) The starting line up for the HS team is all under classmen, but 2. They took a hard loss to Kellis last night, 0-1, but played a great game. Kellis is a really good team and this is supposed to be "their year" with mostly juniors and seniors. An unlucky deflection gave an opportunity for Senior Hailey to make a beautiful goal that put Kellis on top. It was a hard fought game and a lot of fun to watch. The girls have several friends and club teammates who play for Kellis so there was a lot of good natured ribbing in the stands from parents on both sides. The girls play against Alhambra tonight. Unfortunately I work so can't go....boo!

At the end of the game, Kayla's friend Erin Shea stopped by. She is a freshman and varsity cheerleader at PVHS where the girls were playing. The girls have been friends since they were 2. Aren't they cute! Can't believe how big they have gotten.

1st Game Victory

First HS game was yesterday! The Lady Eagles pulled out a 4-3 Victory over Thunderbird High School. Both Goebel girls got to start! Our starting line up was 1 senior, 1 junior, 4 sophomores and 5 freshman! Definitely a young team, but I think they will do well. Game 2 today against Kellis. Going to be a tough one. Several girls that play club with A & K play for this team.

Varsity Soccer

Kayla, my little freshman, made the Varsity soccer team! We were pretty sure she would but you just never know. I am so excited that the girls will be playing together again! It's been a long time. And...how much easier is my life going to be now?! After Thanksgiving no more club practices until Feb. and no more weekend games! WOOHOOO!

Seize the Day

Last Sunday night I had a seizure in the middle of the night and had to be rushed to the hospital. Ryan said that he woke up to the sound of me throwing up in the bathroom. He got up to check on me and he said that I screamed real loud and then fell over and started seizing. He called 911 and it took over 8 minutes for them to get to me. Ryan said he couldn't remember the address and had to run outside and get it. Thankfully I don't remember a whole lot. I do remember waking up as they were putting me into the ambulance and them telling me that I had a seizure and was on the way to the hospital. Apparently I got belligerent with the paramedics and then had another seizure in the ambulance. The next thing I remember is waking up at the hospital and my mom, dad and Ryan were there. People kept asking me questions like what year it was and who was president and I couldn't remember. I do remember worrying about the girls. They were at home and had slept through all the commotion including firemen and paramedics in the house going up and down the stairs right by their room. I kept saying that they couldn't miss school...someone had to get them to school because soccer tryouts were that day and if they didn't go to school they couldn't go to tryouts.

They did a million tests including an MRI and a Cat Scan. Everything came back negative which is good. My potassium levels were very low...2.7. Anything under 3.0 is serious and 2.5 can be deadly. I was also dehydrated and my electrolytes were off. They got all that regulated and then, since they couldn't find anything else wrong, they sent me home Monday night. I spent most of the week at mom's house sleeping. I am feeling better just really tired. I don't know if it will happen again so that has me a little freaked out.
