So I'm in my car outside of the school waiting for daughter to come out from cheerleading practice when my cell phone rings. It's one of the girls from the cheerleading squad asking me to come to the school. I let her know I'm in the parking lot waiting on daughter. She says to someone else "She's here, I'll  go out and get her" and I hear someone else say "I'll call 911."

My heart immediately began to race.

Daughters best friend comes running towards me as I'm running towards the gym doors. I enter the gym and see daughter on the floor surrounded by the rest of the squad on their knees reassuring and caring for her.

Her knee was grossly displaced and swollen. She was more frightened I think by the sight of her leg than she is in pain. She straightened her leg causing her knee to go back in place.

The ambulance arrived and daughter was taken to the ER.

Cheerleading sponsor showed up at the hospital. She was crying, saying daughter is her favorite and she loves her.

I felt obligated to reassure/comfort  her even though I dislike her for hurting my daughter last season the way that she did.

So I did comfort her but felt ambivalent about doing so.

Daughter will go to an ortho. office Friday to be checked for damage that can't really be assessed at present. Her X-ray is negative. They wrapped and braced her knee and put her on crutches.

So we'll keep our fingers crossed while we wait to see.....

 

Yesterday I went to my oldest sisters house to spend the day with my parents, all of my sisters, and their families. It was a nice grill out........and I got to spend time with 2 great nieces both who joined the family in the past year. I took some really cute pictures of them and will post them when I can............one of them looks like she could be a cartoon character........and I mean that in a good way!
