Edition #28, brought to you by my son's eye injury.
13 responses and comments about the baseball colliding with his eye.
1. Oh my gosh! (By far the most common reaction.)
2. I’m fine, mom. (And, believe it or not, he is!)
3. Tell him he should catch the ball next time. (This one from my step-son, the ER nurse. He is soooo funny! Not.)
4. Take him to the ER for a CT scan. (From my step-son’s wife, also a nurse.)
5. He needs to have his eye x-rayed to make sure there’s not an orbital floor fracture. (the coach.)
6. Put ice on it. (Duh!)
7. He could have a concussion. (He could, but he doesn’t, and I’m thankful.)
8. Is he throwing up? (no)
9. Did he pass out? (no)
10. It’s not like the doctor can put a cast on his eye. (This also, from my wise-cracking step-son.)
11. Wake him every two-three hours to make sure he’s coherent. (I didn’t.)
12. He’s gonna have a shiner for a while! (Ya think?)
13. Take him to the concussion center (yes, there is actually a clinic that does testing to make sure there are no lasting effects from a concussion. Got this info from the nurse at my school.)
This is day 2. Scroll down for day 1 in my Wordless Wednesday post.
Poor thing. Does it look worse than it feels?
ReplyDeletepoor guy! That has to hurt so badly! Before you know it mom, he will be bragging about the black eye that he HAD! Men love to add up all the injuries through their lives! He will be okay! xo
ReplyDeleteBet he wears it like a trophy! My son had a few of those during his baseball playing years. Glad it wasn't more serious!
ReplyDeleteHappy TT!
Oh your poor son. Hope it looks worse than it feels.
ReplyDeleteYou don't say how he is doing... Today is really the tell all day. Is he doing all right?
ReplyDeleteHappy TT!
That's too funny ... okay, it's not funny, but people do say the most obvious things! Poor thing. Was it a badge of honor or was he embarrassed?
ReplyDeletePoor baby...that looks like it hurts:( Happy TT. I hope he's feeling better:)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to echo #1 on your list...Oh. My. Gosh!!!! That is a beastly injury!!
ReplyDeleteHope he feels better soon!
Oh, man! I got it in the nose once, but it was in sixth grade and it wasn't thrown hard.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least he's got some war wounds. Think of it that way.
Just one word...........OUCH!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy 13 this week is misnomers, can you think of any to add? Come by if you can.
poor babe!
ReplyDeleteEveryone got a smart comment...not me though I tried...I got nothing
ReplyDeleteI ranked a smart comment, shoudl I be honored? LOL
ReplyDeleteLooks like he is getting better already. Me, I would be black and blue for weeks, than a sick shade of yellow. I bruise too easily and too much. Great TT fodder though!
Nice black eye. I'm sure he has a great story to tell forever. Happy TT
ReplyDeleteGlad he's okay. It will be a story to tell when he's older. I was once hit by a tennis ball in the eye - it was NO fun. And, baseballs are harder!
ReplyDeleteHappy TT!
Aww. I hope he gets better soon
ReplyDeleteWell for sure he is going to have a "shiner" for a while. Is he still wanting to play? In a year or so if he continues, he will be telling this story, making him a legend! :)
ReplyDeletePoor guy! It looks pretty bad but he seems that he's doing okay. Thank goodness!
ReplyDeleteAwe that is such a nasty owie!! Poor guy he won't forget this one, if he does you sure won't. Thankfully he's going to be fine. That is the hazard of sports, but baseball is so much fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tag it's a good one! I'll try to do it on monday!
