There are games to play, so she’s on her way back.
After undergoing a procedure to drain a baseball-sized abscess in her abdomen, Coupeville High School softball coach Amy King is expected to be released from Swedish Medical Center in Seattle this afternoon.
King was originally transferred to Swedish after a weekend trip to the Whidbey General ER with a temperature of 103.
Super excited at being done with the biggest step in her recovery, and being allowed to possibly drink or eat for the first time in more than 24 hours, King was already ankling for the exit, ready to dodge doctors and return to the diamond.
“Thank you all for your wishes and prayers!!,” she said.
With her in the hospital, Wolf co-coach (and husband) David King was by her side and CHS postponed a doubleheader in Sultan Monday.
Other Coupeville coaches have stepped in to help with practices, and the hope is David King will be back in town Wednesday and the Wolves will play a scheduled home game against Cedarcrest.
Monday, CHS football coach Tony Maggio and Athletic Director Lori Stolee ran softball practice, while the Wolves will team-up with baseball today for a joint practice run by hardball guru Willie Smith.
“It was a great team effort in Coupeville,” David King said.
