Poor Ty, he is yet again the top of my blog- another injury. Today at recess he collided w/a boy while playing football. Ty went for a loose ball, while another boy was chasing a soccer ball. The knee came up as Ty's face went down, and this is the result. Actually, this picture is not very representative of the real deal. His eye is swollen partly shut, but for the picture he was trying hard to get it open and the swelling and discoluration extend up around the outside toward his hairline.

The school called to tell me to come get him and when I got there they informed me that he had been very brave! Of course he has. This is Ty, the boy who layed in his Dad's lap while he removed a fishing lure w/ a pair of needle nose. Not a sound made, just crocidile tears rolling down the side of his face and white nuckles clenched into a fist were the only sign of his agony.
So I brought him home and gave him an ice pack and some advil. Then tried to get him to take a nap. He laid in bed next to me and stared at the ceiling. Now he is watching Hotel for Dogs and claims to be doing "Much Better," after only 2 hours. We'll see how this goes... oh and lucky us Brady is out of the country, AGAIN!!! So mommy is on her own to deal w/ this.
