Injury update

Well after I spoke to Blake yesterday after lunch he started to experience some chest pain. He had mentioned when he was breathing in that it hurt but we both didn't think anything of it. You would think from being punched that he would just be sore. After he spoke to me one of the guys pushed Blake's chest and he fell to his knees. Then they had to go and do push ups and he couldn't even do those with out screaming. They pulled him out of the line and it turns out he has injured his sternum. Anything that requires him to push hurts. We don't know what the extent is yet. He is just going to take the next few days to rest and see if it heals on its own. After a few days if its not any better they will fill out an accident report and take x-rays. We will keep everyone posted and hopefully it's nothing serious.

He has a bruise on his right eyelid and on his nose. He said his whole body is sore. They were suppose to fight again today, but with his injury he wont be able to. Today Blake was even going to fight his friend Josh. Josh actually goes to the same church as us. After popular demand they were finally matched up and now they don't get to fight...bummer.


*****After lunch update*****

Well Blake called me at lunch and told me he still fought this morning. They threw on a chest guard and told him to go a few rounds. MEN...need I say more?! He toughed it out through the pain, and now he said it hurts really bad. Thankfully the swat guys and Josh took it easy on him.
