775 Words4 Pages

It wasn’t supposed to happen that way – The day was filled with the air of excitement as her teammates began to gather for the game. Jill never thought they would make it to the playoffs but here they were at Myrtle Beach. Always a fun place to visit nut no time for fun right now as the hard work was just beginning.

Well, I’ve run some lab work and can’t seem to find a reason for Jill to pass out on Saturday while playing. Maybe she was dehydrated. You know the excitement of the tournament and that hot heat on the beach couldn’t have helped matters any. Once she was at the hospital and they gave her lots of fluids including potassium she rallied so I’m tending to think that was the issue and there’s not much else to look at or to worry
