Ouch....that had to hurt!



Well, this was the weekend for injuries I guess. 
Friday night Bryce and Stephen played yet another game of church Basketball.  They were pretty pumped up because they have been on a winning streak.  And to make it even more exciting, Stephen and Bryce seemed to be the golden duo on the team.  Between the 2 of them they were keeping the team
consistently ahead of their opponents...sometimes barely but still enough to win in the end.
Well, then it happened.  Bryce went up for a lay-up and came down hard on the outside of his
foot and sprained his ankle!  After the play he never got back up and so of course I ran out to see what had
happened as he came wobbling back over.  It looked gross!  We thought at first he had dislocated his ankle but after rushing him to my Chiropractor we found that it was just a sprain. He adjusted his ankle and
then wrapped it. He had to dig around to find his ankle bone through all that swelling and I thought Bryce was gonna pass out!  But he toughed it out and made it through.

Then Michael came home later that night with several bloody scratches down his face!
He works at a special home for boys with emotional and behavior problems.
He had recently been thru training on how to put the boys in a "hold" when things get out of hand.
Well, it seems that this particular night one of the boys they were dealing with got out of the hold he was in and attacked Michael and scratched his face!  Michael was so upset that it got that out of hand.
So, we've been doctoring up his face ever since.  
I don't believe it was deep enough that it will leave any scars hopefully.

Boy what a weekend!
On Saturday Michael went back to work, while Bryce stayed home and was visited by several girls
dropping by with food and treats to console my youngest boy who seems too young
to be having so many female visitors!

It's been an interesting weekend....where is Mike when I need him?

Ouch! They are lucky to have such a good mom. Do you use herbs or oils to doctor them up?
The chiro visit sounded awful, though I love a good chiro.

We do use nutrition and some oils I get from the Chiropractor. The best part about it is it just cost me some of my guacamole!
Since I work for my Chiro!
