This picture is worth a thousand words but this one still needs an explanation. And NO, we didn’t hit him too hard or anything like that.
Connor had a collision during football practice with another play which resulted in 4 stitches on the eyelid and 3 under the eye. The picture was taken about 7 hours after it happened. This picture was taken at about 12:30am after Tracy and Connor got home from the emergency room. They actually went to a doc-in-the-box first but they didn’t want to deal with it (either too close to quitting time or they were concerned that he might have a broken bone under there).
Yesterday he was at the peek of his swelling. I’m not sure if Tracy got a picture of his eye almost swollen shut or not. Amazingly enough, he still isn’t that black and blue from it.
He has been great all through it. Tracy said that he did great at the emergency room Monday and really well at his Doc appointment yesterday (when they removed that plastic bandage). The Doc at the emergency room was kidding him about playing football… saying that she’d expect to see him again a couple more times over the next couple years. Even with that kidding around he has a great attitude about football and is eager to get back on the field. He was actually worried that he’d miss practice and a game.
I’m proud of him.
