A Traumatic Rangers Game!

We went to the Rangers game Tuesday night in hopes of seeing Sammy Sosa hit his 600th career homerun. He didn't pull it off, but we had fun all the same and all the kids wanted to do was eat cotton candy! I just don't get why kids like that stuff...before you know it it melts in your mouth...what a waste of calories! Anyways, the game was super fun, but sadly it ended pretty traumatic....we were walking out of the ballpark and Reese started to fall down some concrete steps. Thank goodness I got a hold of his hand, but I wasn't able to stop him before he slammed his head on the stair. The crazy thing about it was right away his head had a SUPER huge knot on it that was quickly turning black!(it looked just like the cartoons-you know when bugs bunny got hit in the head and right away he had an enormous lump, well Reese seriously looked like that...no joking!) Now, the rest of the story is just amazing! Something I do often is pray for protection over the kids and ask that the Lord would spare them from major accidents and He answered that prayer in an amazing way. First, I just "happened" to be holding a frozen water bottle (I never remember to bring these, but this game it was gonna be really hot so I packed it) ...so I was able to put ice on it right away and then after walking down what seemed like a million steps from the upper deck (I was freaking out just a little:) ) some of our friends from church were at the bottom and were able to help us with Abby and get the paramedics fast! And when we were waiting our friends prayed for Reese and it really meant alot to us because honestly we weren't sure how bad he was hurt! But thankfully Reese is super tough and he just has a really big bump on his head....today it has gotten better, but it is still pretty big and is bruised. So to make a long story longer I am so grateful that God watched out for him in every way and I feel so blessed to get to watch Him at work in our lives!

Bless you heart! That bruise is huge, I bet it looks even more pretty today. Poor Reese!

What a blessing to have friends on hand to pray anytime. And good for you for carrying a frozen water bottle to the game. God knew to have you well prepared.
