Bailee's Trauma

Last night the Elder's Quorum hosted a night out at the Bee's game. We all went and the kids were giving plenty of snacks and candy and kazoos to keep them busy and happy. In the bottom of the 3rd inning one of the Bees players fouled behind the first base and nailed Bailee right in the side of her head. She had been standing up in front of the seats talking to me when WHAM! Talk about a heart attack. As I was running my hand over her head looking for blood gushing out she was screaming her poor head off and just wanted to lay down on my shoulder. After not finding any blood I started focusing on finding a big goose egg on her head but all I could feel was just a small bump. Talk about having a hard head. At this time Adam was proudly holding the ball that had hit Bailee's head and then hit his knee and landed in the seat next to him where Lexi was hitting. Adam found it and was proudly trying to show Bailee it the whole time. The stadium medics came up and asked if we would mind bringing her down to the first aid office so they could examine her to make she she was doing alright. During her exam she would listen and answer everything but kept saying the ball hurt her and then would hold her head. It was soooo sad but oh so very cute. They asked her if she at least was able to get the ball and she said 'Adam ball' so they gave her another ball to have so she wouldn't have to fight over it with her brother. She seemed to be acting just fine so we declined an offer to go to the hospital and then they gave us some advice and signs of a concussion to watch for. I went and got Bailee a sno-cone which she was ecstatic about and went back to our seats. Since half of our ward was there she got a standing ovation of applause when we came back and 2 bags of snacks and candy and she finished the game as if nothing had happened except to tell everyone that talked to her that the ball had hurt her head.

Adam is holding the ball that hit Bailee and Bailee is holding the one that they gave her in the medical office.
