Locker room door for the Lady Falcons.....

TOUGH GIRLS - Maycee and Baylee

Just want to take a moment to brag on my tough girls and give you an update on my week even though it is only Wednesday.

MONDAY - Maycee had a severe allergic reaction while playing softball. It happened during an inning in the field. She was playing 2nd base and during the time it took to play that inning she went from fine to her eyes swollen almost shut and wheezing. Dr. Paul Sain was on a nearby field and told us that we needed to go to the hospital. Many thanks to Sandy Stout for scooping her up and taking her over to him. Maycee was worried that she would not get to the regional game at LCHS and see her sister playing ball which is where we were headed after her game, but I did not have the heart to tell her we would not make it. Arrived at the ER….typical scene with people lined up around the waiting area and I thought “OH CRAP – it is going to take forever”, but one look at Maycee had the nurses scrambling and we were ushered back immediately. They did not even ask for my insurance card – said they would get it later and that is when I got scared! Dr. Wilkerson (who had an awesome bedside manner) came in, looked and listened and ordered an IV. Within a half hour after arriving Maycee had an IV in arm and was dozing peacefully. We still do not know what caused this….and we are now on a daily allergy pill plus an epi-pen if this occurs again. Many thanks to the Treolas, Monty Hall for the two dollars, and anyone else that took care of Hayden at the ball field while we were at the ER! Crisis moments make you aware of whom your true friends are……

TUESDAY – Typical crazy morning going to school. Had to escort Maycee in and explain the night before. She did not want to miss since she has perfect attendance and wants an award next week. School called me twice with her eyes itching and we went to the doctor for a follow-up. Maycee and I got out of the Drs office with lots of time to spare before picking Baylee up from ball. I was envisioning a home cooked meal with my babies, clothes washed and picked up, and an early night to bed…………….until the phone rang and I was informed that the TOC trainer, Michelle, thought that Baylee broke her hand during ball practice at LCHS. To make a long story short, we wound up at TOC in Madison seeing Dr. Maddox. Baylee has a torn tendon in her ring finger on her right hand and is in a splint for a least two weeks and maximum of six weeks. There are a lot of things riding on her tendon healing so we are praying for it to heal quickly and be “good as new”.



WEDNESDAY – Regional Championship game with LCHS versus Riverdale Warriors in Murfreesboro at Riverdale. Outcome depends on location of sub-state game which is to be played on Friday night. This Lady Falcon team is made up of a lot of tough girls but also is made up of a team of sisters….sisters whose common love for a game has created bonds that will forever last. I am proud of each and every one of you!
