SCARY!



So at the first of this week we had quite a scare...at least I did! It was a regular chilly Tuesday evening at the softball fields here in Cedar Marcus was playing with his buddies on their mens team like every Tuesday for the last 2 months. It was an important tournament game, and there team was undefeated! So pretty much the last play of the game the other team is up to bat, Marcus was playing Short Stop like usual. I'm just sitting there with the girls and all of a sudden Marcus gets knocked to the ground I instantly stood up and water filled my eyes so worried about what had just happened. The batter hit a line drive and Marcus lost the ball in the lights and it hit him just above his right eye! Marcus has such great friends when I went out there they were all doing their best to make sure he was ok, it went from Trent telling me things I should do to make sure he didn't have a cuncusion to Dallan offering to get the others to give Marcus a blessing! I was so grateful! Even men who Marcus didn't know were grabbing him ice packs and ibuprofen, then helped me get him to the car to take him to the ER to get him all checked out! So scary for me because the only times I can remember going to the hospital growing up is when my sister was diagnosed with diabetes and Gabriel had a horrible ear infection, and for births of babies of course! We were so relieved when all they had to do was place some neosporrin and a bandade above his eyebrow, they gave Marcus an ice pack and we were on our way!
I am just so grateful that it was not more serious, where if the ball would have hit him pretty much anywhere else it could have been way more crutial! Thanks to everyone for all your help! Marcus is doing great! The funning thing is he doesn't even really remember that he has a beautiful shiner on his right eye until people ask him to tell them the story of what happened, or tell him that he needs a new girlfried:)

That is scary. When my mom sent me the text with the picture I could not believe it. Gary thought it was a fake picture at first. That is a good thing it didn't hit him straight in the eye. Boston and Preston have been so worried about Marcus. I showed them the picture a few days ago and they still say "marcus eye purple. he got hit with a baseball." They also wanted to send him a sponge bob band aid but I decided to save the stamp. Hope you get feeling better Marcus and it gets looking better soon.

Wow! We are glad it wasn't worse. It's always nice to find out that what you are really worried about can be taken care of with a few pain killers and ice. :) Much better then the alternative. We miss you guys!

Well it's 6am and I have been studying for 2 hours already and have 2 to go before a Micro test this morning so I better get back to it. Love you guys!
