This Thursday night he got a ball to the eye. It was a frightening experience for both of us, for me seeing my husband fall to the ground moaning and rocking back and forth and for him not knowing if he would be able to play next week :)!
The ambulance was called, but the EMT told us he didn't think he needed a ride in it (thank the Lord) but he should still get checked out for head injuries, bleeding and eye injuries.
So we headed to the Emergency Room and were lucky enough to wait for 3.5 hours to see a doctor.
While in the ER we sat by a few people with some crazy stories and the later it got the crazier the stories.
After check ups, katscans and lots of ice packs; we found out Kyle had broken his sinus, shouldn't blow his nose or drive and would have a really colorful face for a week or so. The doc told us in a giddy voice he was happy and "his eyebrow did it's job and protected the eye." It was good news to us as the injury could have been a lot worse being so close to his skull and eye.
If you have a queezy stomach be cautious from here on down. Photo below.
