not on the roster

I am holding my breath, praying, and in shock. My teenager has worked so hard this summer, 6-7 hours a day playing waterpolo for UOP. We were sent a package with everything for him to report to fall camp on the 16th of this month. He has trained, focused, and worked his behind off. We have corresponded with the coach via email and bought his traveling sports coat and have not heard a word otherwise. The papers we received confirmed that he was on the roster as number 19. Today I checked the UOP website and their polo roster. He is not on the roster. There is another name that was never on the roster. I am sick to my stomach. I cannot believe what I am seeing. Again, it's a blow. Yes, I have called the coach at 2 telephone numbers and left messages. Yes, I have emailed him. There has been no answer. God, what now? Please, Lord, don't let it be true. He has overcome so much and come so far. I know you are in control and you know the plan. I know it's not about me and I know I'm not supposed to live through my kids. I don't want him to be disappointed or devastated. Please, God, don't let it be true.
