Softball and Skinned Knees

School is just about out for the year and summer softball league has begun. Melissa's first game of the season was last night, it was a double header, so it was a very long night. We got home at 11:30 pm!! Her regular position is center field... She loves playing in "her" position. Coaches usually put her there because she can throw from center field to the pitcher and I have even seen her throw all the way to home plate. Last night she was called in to pitch. She hasn't pitched a game since 8th grade. She was a tad bit rusty at first...but as the game wore on the better she got into her groove.... the girls did really well. They won their first game, but not their second. It was fun to watch softball again. Along with softball comes skinned knees. As you can see that Melissa plays ball with her whole heart and sole!! She sacrifices her body to make a catch or just to stop a ball!! This morning she was a tad bit sore. Good thing the weather has warmed up so that she could wear shorts to school. We are looking to more games...I am not so sure she is looking forward to more pitching....

Update on Tory: Tory was once again admitted to the hospital. On Wednesday she was having a little bit of spotting. She called Dr. Feuerbacher and he wanted to see her. Tory began to pass blood clots...the doctor admitted her to the hospital. Last night they planned on doing an amniocentesis this morning and they wanted a family member to drive the sample down to St. Luke's in Kansas City. If a family member delivers the sample the hospital will process it faster and we would get the results sooner. The amnio was to be done at 9:00am and I was going to drive the sample down... This morning when Dr. Holman came in to do the amnio and they couldn't find a nice pocket of fluid without going thru the placenta. So amnio...no driving to KC...so I stayed and relaxed with Tory and Brent. At 11:00 am we all took a nap. So for now Tory will probably stay in the hospital until May 23rd, when they will induce her!!
