I will keep trying.

something because all of the PDF files for NIH mentioned spleen

guards for sports.

Hi Trish,

Crazy- but do you have a local sporting goods store around? When Noel

broke her nose last year she needed a face guard and the sporting goods

store has catalogs with all kinds of guards. Of course they are all for

adult sizes..... which makes it very hard for little faces, but we made due.

It was either cover her face to medicate me when she played basketball!

Give it a try.
