This fall has been different in so many ways and one of those small changes has been not updating my blog near as often! I really have missed my Sunday nights of picture editing and blog updating, so that everyone out there can experience the weekend's game. As hard as it's been for me, magnify that times 100 and I'm sure we still don't come close to the emotions Marshall has dealt with this season. This has truly been a test of his character as well as his physical health and the maturity with which he has handled the situation is admirable. I know this time watching will only make that hunger to be back in pads that much stronger.
An update on his knee: As many of you know, the surgery was successful and Doctor predicts he'll be back to 100%, if not better, when he's fully healed. Towards the end of the season he was getting to do more exercises, he's been lifting weights, and continuing rehab. When the team returns from the bowl game he'll start running on the treadmill in the pool (which I thought sounded fun!), but probably isn't.... He's hoping to be ready to go for Spring ball in March.
If any of you are on Facebook you'll have already noticed that Soonersports is doing a fabulous job (as always) of keeping us updated on what's going on in Dallas. I'm probably not the only one who feels it's a little bittersweet to see all the photos, knowing Marshall is doing rehab or standing on the sidelines, but I've also realized my bittersweet feelings extend to seeing photos of all the boys that will be graduating this year. So many of the players that have been there for four years with Marsh will be gone next year and our team (and parent section!!) will look just a little different! It sounds like they're getting the royal treatment in Dallas and I'm so happy for the whole Sooner squad. I hope they enjoy every single minute of this week and show those Aggies no mercy on Friday.
Since I haven't been updating everyday, I thought I'd give you a few of the photos involving Marshall from Soonersports and some that he's sent Mom and I all in one BIG post.
