My daughter got hit in the eye with a baseball bat. *Updated with Picture*

**I posted this in a group yesterday but added it to my Journal so people could see the update**

Today was a wonderful day , we had all kinds of family over for Easter & all the kids were outside having a blast. Well my two older daughters often go over to our neighbors house (We're all really good friends) to play with their lil boy. They were all playing tee-ball & my oldest daughter swung for the ball not realizing that my 4 year old was right behind her. This was a REAL bat , not a plastic toy. She accidentally hit her right in the eye / forehead. My husband rushed her to the hospital in his big work truck , we don't have a car or a phone so my neighbor is going to keep me updated if he calls. By the time I got her to our yard , her whole eye was swollen shut & she has a huge knot on her forehead. There wasn't any bleeding so I don't guess she'll need stitches or anything. I'm more worried about any damage being done to the INSIDE of her head...

Has anyone had anything like this happen? Do you think she'll be okay? Please pray for her , they've been gone for 3 hours now. Last time I called my hubby (From neighbors phone) , it was shut off so she's probably being seen by the dr. by now.

 

**Update** I couldn't get ahold of my DH all night which made me a nervous wreck but thankfully around 10 o clock I heard them pull up so I ran outside expecting some horrible news. What did I hear? Journey singing that song from "Spectacular" called "Why dontcha break my heart" lol. The dr. said she will be fine , just to keep check on her all through out the night & to watch for weird signs like vomiting & her being more sleepy than usual. She did fine last night & this morning her eye looks even worse. She can't open it or see out of it. The only thing they said I can do 4 it is put ice on it. It sucks to be so helpless but she doesn't seem phased at all! As soon as I find some good batteries (I'll go search the remote & toys) lol I'll take a picture for you guys. Thanks for all the prayers!!!!

Glad to hear she is OK.  I couldn't find the post so I am glad I checked out your page.  She should be fine.  It probably looks much worse than it really is.  =)
