Well exactly three weeks later (almost to the hour), we got to go again. But this time, it was Cody who decided that he couldn't let his brother get all the attention.
Cody was playing an 8:00 p.m. baseball game, was up to bat, squared up to bunt...and the beast that was pitching did his wind up and threw the ball (we're guessing 50-60 mph...I do not kid when I say he was a beast)...and Cody could not get out of the way fast enough. The ball hit him square on in the right chest area. It stunned him...kind of doubled over a little...took a drink of water and went to 1st base to run the bases. By the time he made it home, he was out of breath, coughing, and threw up three times.
He kept telling us that his breathing didn't feel normal...so we took him. Back to the ER...same intake nurse...same crowd.
After we had been there about an hour, Cody said his breathing felt normal again...but they wanted to go ahead and x-ray his lungs and ribs to make sure there were no contusions.
The good news is...no inside contusions...only bruising and soreness. He's got a nice bruise in the shape of a baseball.
He was happy to be leaving the hospital...as were we.
And because we are equal opportunity parents and because we had not had dinner yet, we told him he could decide where he wanted to get a midnight snack. He chose...Waffle House. If you've never been there after midnight, you must put it on your bucket list.
The rest of our week has not gone any smoother...
Steve took a spill while biking this week when his back brakes failed him...
and I got a nice case of the conjunctivitis.
You might not want to ride in the car with us...or let your children play at our house. I'm just sayin...
But isn't this beautiful?
Clear eyes finally! I am now keeping him in a glass case.

Oh, Gina! So sorry to hear all that. I hope things improve quickly... and that you can stay away from the hospital, doctors offices and pharmacy for a while. Like at least a month.
Oh Sista!
Totally unbelievable that you take that many pics at the hospital. I understand that some of these are now "stock" photos since you have been so often - but still.
Poor Steve! I hope that he didn't freak the boys out too bad with the accident! :)
Your eye - it looks like a million times worse than it did on Wednesday night! I say that with love, of course. :)
And YEA for Caleb! Now, put his butt back in the bubble.
Love ya!
I can think of only 2 other people that might choose Waffle House to go for a midnight snack - that would be Uncle Jesse & Darren!!
Glad to see Caleb's eyes clear again...hope yours is that way soon!
Love ya'll tons!!!
OMG! Only you can tell a story and illustrate it this good. Wishing for the Sanitation Lady and the "BE Careful" Fairy to come and visit you this week.
You know if there was a book that said you'd be in the hospital ER twice in one week with the same kid, I might have thought a little longer. What were we thinking????LOL
Sorry your eye is a mess. Glad that Caleb is much better. And tell Steve I've had worse places on my eyeball...He hehe
Love you guys, Adelle!!!
