Opening Day on the DL?

Yesterday was opening day around Major League Baseball, and it was opening day for official practice for Sault Little League. The kids and I had a good practice and a lot of fun. They were promised Dairy Queen afterwards, for getting good grades in school, not just because of baseball. When we get to Dairy Queen and get out of the car, I hear Lily make this blood-curdling scream! I rush around the car to see her poor little finger stuck in the now shut door. I pulled the door open and got a glance of her finger-not good! I shoved her in the back seat, jumped the curb, and headed for the hospital. I called Lisa on our way there and she arrived just minutes after we did. They put her finger on ice, gave her some Motrin for her pain, and x-rayed her finger. We still don't know if it's broken yet, but at least she's wasn't feeling a lot of pain by the time we left. If it is broken, the poor girl will likely start this season again on the DL (disabled list for you non-sports people). Last year she missed much of the season due to surgery she had on the same hand. I'm praying it's not broken and she can get healed up-she is such a tough little girl, though.

UPDATE: Lily's finger is NOT broken, thank God. She'll only miss one week of practice, if that. Again, she's a tough little girl and I am so proud of her.

Weekly Roundup June 15-19

Busy week for us, as the rain held off and we got all of our events in.

We had baseball practice on Monday, and things seemed to go well there. Lily helped out when she could and Trevor seems to be doing some things better. Coach Lenny worked with him on his hitting a bit, too. On Wednesday night Trevor had two infield hits. He's still not hitting the ball real solid, but getting better with practice. He also made a nice play in the field. Trevor was also picked for the Sault Little League Player of the Week for this week for the Minor 1 division.

Tuesday Lily went down to Petoskey and got the cast off of her hand. You can see by the pic she needs to wear a brace on it. She is so tough, she never cried during any of this. What an awesome little girl.

No soccer games this week, as the kids worked with the pros. Members of the Chicago Fire of Major League Soccer were in town to put a camp on for the kids. They also put them through drills and give them some tips on soccer. Pictured is one of the Fire giving instruction to Trevor's team the Hawks (Trevor is #10). He is really doing better at soccer and likes it because he says it's easy. Back to games next week.
