Black Eye Day 3

I guess you can say that day 3 is better in some ways and worse in others, but mostly better.
Better:   The swelling is not as bad, he went to school, he can smile now, and he actually let me take pictures today.
Worse:   The bruising - it is getting darker, more colorful, and is clear down into his cheek (almost to his chin). - I am really hoping it is just really badly bruised (lots of tissue damage) and not a cracked or broken cheek bone.




I love this little guy. He has been so tough - even stayed at soccer practice the day it happened. He went to school today and made it through the millions of stares and questions from kids and teachers. And, despite it all, he still plays as hard as ever and cries when a ball (soccer ball, dodge ball, or basketball) accidentally hits his face but keeps on going.
