Stitches!

Baseball can be a rough sport. Big brother is helping him learn the basics, but spring training has it's dangers. Our youngest had to get 3 stitches under his eye. The kids were all playing baseball in our yard with a neighbor girl. The girl was at bat, and took a big swing into our little boy's face. He didn't know he was standing so close. The kids ran in the back door screaming and dragging in their little brother. His face was completely covered in blood. I was relived when I got it all cleaned up that it was just a deep wound. We got home from the emergency room at midnight that Saturday. He has had his stitches removed, the swelling is gone, and he is looking a lot better now. The neighbor girl that hit him with the bat brought over a present the next day and apologized. It was just an unfortunate accident. We haven't played baseball since the accident. We'll pick up the sport sometime on a weekday between the hours of 8am and 4pm, the local Dr's office hours, no more ER for us!
