There is no crying in baseball.......

Unless, you are me. Then you cry when your husband plays baseball and grasps a new injury EACH time! My gosh, its like a weekly thing! So Sunday I got home from my trip to Georgia, and Martin wanted to go play in his baseball game, he plays in a 30 & up league. Against my better judgement, I let him go. My last words to him were "Be careful and DONT GET HURT".

I got a phone call, his coach had to drive him home. Why you ask? Because he hit a foul tip ball off the end of his bat, into his EYE! He couldnt drive. He is lucky he can see, thats for sure.

I cried when I first saw him, it was AWFUL! He has the most perfect nose, Madelyn, Gavin, & Lil Martin all have his nose. But his was smushed and crooked. His eye was swollen shut, and nose was bloody. He had blood stains on his uniform, yuck. We took a picture, and I begged him and begged him to go to the dr. But as you have probably heard, nurses are the WORST patients. He refused to go :( UGH



We settled, or I won :) Because he went to the dr on Monday, the did 8 xrays and his nose is broken, no kidding? I was worried about his brow bone being broken and causing permanent damage to his eye or vision. Thank God. Now its

become a game to the kids, each morning when he wakes up its a differnt color and shape. It being Tuesday, its changed so much. The swelling has shifted to a new area and the color is AWFUL. It looks like Madelyn colored his eye with purple marker while he was sleeping. Which if I might add, is something she would totally do.


So because he asked me not to post a picture on facebook, I decided I would post a picture here on my blog, for private eyes :) Look at your own risk, that is my own warning to you, my fellow blog followers :)
Can I go ahead and say, No I did NOT do this to him. I cant tell you how many people ask me (joking or not), "Did you punch him", "Did he step outta line", "Dang Jess, you showed him". Right, because physical abuse is so funny, geeeeeeez
Its getting better. I suggested that he not go to work until it looks a little better. He looks scary, cant be scaring patients and families now can we?

So who votes that he stop playing sports? :) He is a handful. I love him, but he is a big kid!
