Daughter had a softball game sunday for the playoffs. Well the coach decided to give her a short 2 inning break behind the plate and put her at first base. Well needless to say she took a ball off the mouth and split her bottom lip open on the inside. Along with losening 4 bottom teeth. Well as i looked at her nouth there was what appeared to be adipose tissue coming from the split however it was hard to tell if it was that or just swollen skin from the plit. Well today whe went to the dentist and he immediately sent her to a plastic surgeon to have them look at it. Come to find out that when it heals within a weak she is going to have to go in and have the inside of her lip laser repaired. he said he going to have to remove the tissue that there but has to wait for the swelling to come down...DAMN!
Now here is the topper she would not come out of the game. She addimitly refused to leave the game and continued to play. She wiped away the tears grabbed some ice and went at it. Was it a good idea probably not but she had that look in her eye that she was not leaving her team for a cut lip. Also like i say i couldnt tell if it was addipose tissue or just bust skin flap. So against better judgement i let her continue on ine condition, she went ot the outfield. So off to center field she went and finished the last 5 innings....She has now been asked and accepted, to play on an all-star travel softball team. first though we have to get her lip taken care of..

Hoops & Little Hoops! Wow Steve! That girl has got "gumption"! Got to be proud of her! Anyone who takes one for the team, and pushes through it will go a long way. Remind her of what Ali said, "It's not how many times you get knocked down, it's how many times you get back up that counts!" VERY proud of her...and kudos to you. It has got to be genetics! (Probably from Mom, of course ) My grandaughter took one the other day. Pitcher threw a wild one and clocked her right in the left bicep. Has a nice round bruise there now. She is the shortest girl on the team by at least a full head shorter. When she got hit, she dropped the bat, and the look in her eye was that she wanted to go tear the pitcher a new one! But she got it together, waived to the pitcher and shook it off. Her next up-at-bat...she hit a triple! Must have still been pissed off! Her team has a perfect win record. ALL their scores have been a total wipe-out of the other teams. Last nights score was 29-6. Give that Little Hoopster a big hug for us, and keep us updated on how she makes out with the Doc. VERY PROUD OF YOU...BABY HOOPS!
