On Tuesday the 13th (not even home from Lake Powell for 24 hours) Max and Noah we playing in the back yard. I was inside the house and I hear Max crying and Noah says "Mom, I accidentally hit Max in the face with the baseball bat!" (Yes...a metal baseball bat no less!) He had been swinging the bat and made sure that Max was well enough behind him, but (picture the swinging motion) after swinging and the bats momentum brought the bat back behind Noah Max had run up behind him and he got popped in the face!
I looked at Max's face and his poor cheek was the size of a softball. I immediately called Travis home from Young Mens at the church and rushed him to our pediatricians after hours office. After being looked at by the doctor...no missing teeth, no concussion....we headed to the hospital for x-rays. Everyone was so speedy and Max was such a trooper we found nothing to be broken. So all he had was one really REALLY swollen cheek.
These pictures were taken the next morning! Poor kid couldn't even smile really well! But he tried!
By the evening the swelling had gone down a bit and the bruising traveled to his eye!

That is horrible. Glad nothing was broken. I hate when my kids get hurt. Oh, it is the worst. He's such a cutie.
oh my goodness, poor Max and my heart goes out to Noah....I'm sure he felt sooo awful. and i'm sure you were terrified yourself too.
Talk about a good bruise! I'm glad he is okay.
My poor Max! He is so happy in spite of it all! What a blessing he is to our family!
