I'm trying to stay awake to keep an eye on my son. He got hurt at baseball practice...and he did it to himself.
He was batting, fouled it off & it bounced off his bat right back at his eye. He hit the ball so hard he cracked his bat. We spent 3 1/2 hours in the ER, thank God nothing was fractured or broken. It's pretty much swollen shut. They gave him some pretty good pain killers in the ER, but the first Doctor we had went off shift, and I do not like the ER doc that took his place...and he wouldn't give my son a perscription or any pain meds to go home with, just said to give him tylenol or ibuprofen. Well if his pain level was only down to a 5 in the ER, I'm afraid it will be really bad through the night, and that just tylenol won't cut it! I hate feeling helpless, I wish there was more I could do for him. He has to see his regular doctor later today, and also needs to see an eye specialist.
I'm really starting to get sleepy & I have to work in a little while. Probably gonna see if I can tough it out till 4am then get hubby up to take over. I have to open my office at 9:30am...it's gonna be a very long day! Trying to stay awake is killer, but a mom does whats needed!!!! I just wish I could take away his pain!!!
