I cannot believe my son earned a slot in his school’s football team.
We were so happy for him that we decided to go and support his team in his first ever game.
It was a warm day and the sun was blazing hot in the sky. We got ready of our video cameras and positioned ourselves to the second row before the arena. A part of me wished the game took place inside an enclosed stadium and not in an open field so that my son as well as his teammates will enjoy the relaxing coldness from a central air conditioning system. At home, I always make sure that I supervise my kids’ playtime. And would prefer for them to stay indoors in the afternoon to enjoy the air conditioner. We were cheering so loudly but got shocked when I saw my son collapse in the middle of the game. I captured it on camera, I didn’t bother filming the whole thing and immediately rushed to the ground. Whenever I go outside, I always bring with me some cooling products such as a pillow with cooling gels, a cooling towel, and a mini cooling fan. There were already medics rescuing my son, but I managed to go there first and put the cooling pillow on his forehead. I used to fan to ventilate his surroundings. When the medics came, they carried my son to the clinic. It was very refreshing to feel the comfortable coldness from the clinic’s HVAC system. They applied an ice pack on his forehead, and get the oxygen tank ready in case he had trouble breathing. After quite a while, he got conscious again. I hugged him tightly, my worries draining away. I wish next time, the school will hold the game inside a close arena with huge HVAC air conditioning systems. In this way, the players will have the comfort to move and play the game with the cool air coming from the air conditioner.
