Wrestling is such an intense sport. It is still hard for me to watch. The bending and twisting and emotions. The CRYING, so much crying. I can barely stand it. The boys always work hard though and they are always willing to try again.
With the holidays over we got back to school and work and sports and all of our normal.

The rest of the ROBERTSON family was not normal this week – EVERYONE had COVID. Kelsey was quarantined at our house! Ryan was in the hospital. Mom and Dad went to the hospital. They admitted dad but not mom. Christy and Shae had it, Josh and Mal, Tracie and John, Brady and Sam, Shannon and Tommi and finally we think Sean and Jana – – not sure if they ever tested. Kevin and Liz were almost recovered and Joel and Megan were on the tail end of it!!
supporting the Robertsons any way we can!
Kelsey was feeling better after 2-3 days so we snuck in a couple of games on her off work hours.
Then on the 12th Kelsey went home to Logan. That night Joel and Megan and the kids came over for some biking and Hale Pong and GETTING OUT OF THE HOUSE. We had a blast trying the new Pong Game.
On Saturday the parents were getting pretty sick so Michael decided to get up and get them heading home where they could be sick in the comfort of their own home and in CA. They got up and got on the road that morning.
Ben went to a funeral that morning for Brother Dick Cardon and I took Cali to her soccer game. When I got back I got a text from Ryan in the basement saying that he was really miserable and needed help. Kelsey and I went down and talked to Ryan and decided that he needed to get home so that he could get help and be in his own home… we talked about options and decided that I was the best bet for getting him home! I had already had Covid. So around Noon we jumped in the truck and Mar, Brin and I sat in front and Ryan crashed in the back. The rest of the family stayed the last day of their vacation and tried not to get sick!
We had a good uneventful trip. Ryan just laid in the back the whole time. Didn’t eat, didn’t get out at gas stations. He really was in bad shape. When we got to Sacramento that night we took him straight to the hospital to get checked out. Then the girls and I got some food and headed home. We cleaned up a little and then I went back to get Ryan. They said he had Covid pneumonia and gave a prescription for an inhaler. They also gave some anti-nausea medicine which was good cause it made it so he could finally eat something. Ryan got settled in for the night. He was still lethargic and kind of slow in his talking and decision making. I slept out on the couch.
Michael and the parents made it home safely. They all three were showing Covid symptoms so Michael tested at work and was positive so he stayed home that night and helped mom and dad. Dad had passed out on the drive home – – he was feeling nauseas so Michael stopped and dad opened the car door but before he got out he slumped down and fell out. Michael quickly helped him and got him on his back and when he came to they got him back in the car. The car seemed to make him nauseas and his oxygen levels were low.
On Sunday I went and got Ryan’s prescription filled and got food for the girls. We cleaned up Christmas a bit and got the girls situated. Ryan was in bed and trying to monitor his oxygen. He was still in pretty rough shape. Mom and Dad were sick. Michael was too but he came and drove me to the airport for my flight home that afternoon.
Cali started off the New Year with a soccer game against the Baby Goats!! They got whooped but it’s always fun watching her play and get more and more aggressive out there!
Rose playing Karuba with Cedar, Bren, Everly and Tracie!
These older cousins decided they needed to find some real snow!! Ben took them up Tibble Fork and they had a blast! Then we spent the rest of the day just playing games and hanging out. Mom and Dad and Ryan were all still sick at this point and we were starting to get worried.
