Just in case some of you didn't hear, Ford was at school 10 days ago when his PE teacher asked him and some of his classmates to roll out a very large floor mat. Well, I'm not sure how it happened, but Ford wound up with his hands caught in the roll and bent them all the way back to his wrist! OUCH!! They took him to the emergency room right away, thinking his wrists were broken. The x-rays were inconclusive, not ruling out small bones broken, but we know that he definitely has bad sprains and is in splints for a couple of weeks or so. Let's keep Ford in our thoughts and prayers.Hang in there Ford. We know how rough it is for you not to be able to pitch those baseball games, not to mention how much the team misses you!
P. S. Dad (Shannon) is helping take Ford's mind off his injuries by taking him down to Florida to watch some of Spring training, during this week's Spring Break. That ought to make things feel better!)

Good news! Although his wrists are still sore, Ford has resumed his pitching, batting and playing shortstop on 3/23. He will have to come along slowly, but does not seem to have any permanent injury. Keegan is pitching for his team, too. I hope to have more to report about his performances, in the future. Joe pitched, played right field, and first base on 3/23, while his team won, 16-6. Joe scored, hit a screaming line drive, walked and was hit in the ankle with a pitch. We surely do have a lot of baseball being played this season! Issy is playing softball. Aidan is playing soccer. Morgan is climbing. Emily is taking tennis lessons. What a busy bunch! Love, Grandad.
