you are not going to believe this...

...but we just spent over 7 hours in the hershey emergency room (again).

yes...it is MIDNIGHT and we are just getting home from the ER. the most exciting part of the evening is that it was NOT ASHLEY.

kelsey was the culprit this evening...she was 12 minutes into one of the best field hockey games against lower dauphin and she got "taken out" by a STICK in the FACE. it was a full swing drive connecting with her left cheek bone and jaw...OUCH!!!

instant purple and blue

instant swelling

slight delay and intense pain.

the general consensus was a possible broken jaw or facial bone...but the CT scan showed just a deep contussion and she is going to be fine (very sore and swollen but fine). she was so upset...this was such a big game. (we held them to 0-0 until losing 0-1 with 3 minutes left in over-time...bummer).

the ER was a mess...but the family doctor said ER was our only option. the athletic trainer agreed...so off we went for another fun filled evening. we are just glad she is going to be OK.

well...gotta get up in 4 hours for work-gotta go.

i will update on tim later on this week...sorry.

thanks for checking in

tim and tammy

ps...is it normal for 3/5ths of my family to LEGALLY be on narcotics??????

For you guys, yep... seems pretty normal. But hey, we're never at a loss for what to pray about. Poor Kels... the face is one thing, but missing the game. Now that hurts!!

Tell Kelsey I am disappointed that we will not see her play on Thursday. I told Craig II that I bet if Kelsey could have played that whole game, they may have won. I bet the ER know you guys as soon as you walk in. If I were you Tam, I would need drugs.... See you tomorrow at the game.

Only 3 out of 5? I think it's time for the rest of you to catch up! My gosh, that sounds painful for Kels. Too bad it had to come along with a tough loss. Re: the ring...WOW! So cool! I wish I could've seen his face.

Love you guys!
