On top of the tonsillectomy this week, we’ve had more injuries than I care to deal with recently! About two weeks ago, Maxwell was covering 2nd base when the runner slid into the base and took him out at the knee. Ouch. He was really hurt and couldn’t walk. It happened on a Saturday and I got him into Andrews on Monday afternoon. He got x-rays and checked out by Dr. Ortega and thankfully it was just a deep contusion – a bone bruise.
It’s still giving him some pain but so thankful there were no ligaments damaged!
Then last weekend, Spencer was just shooting hoops during halftime of the 5th grade rec game and somehow came down wrong, fell, and hit his head on the court. He ended up majorly tweaking his neck and literally could not hold it straight. After a lot of back and forth, I ultimately took him to the ER at Children’s to get checked out.
They did X-rays and thankfully it was just a muscle issue. They sent us home with some valium and peace of mind! He’s still a bit crooked but recovering.
I’d like an injury free week please!
So thankful the injuries weren’t worse – love these boys and love to watch them play!
Cold packs for first couple of days and then heat!! This will help a lot. Time will get you past most things.
Thank goodness for good reports!
