Well, I got the call that mother's hate to get.....Ms. Templeton this is .....at Reidsville High, your daughter Julie has been hurt and we need you to come to the school as soon as you can. Well, Can you guess how fast I got there? Yep pretty darn fast!!!
She was of course playing volleyball and landed wrong her ankle. The girls all said they heard it "POP" and she went down. By the time I got there they had an ice pack on her ankle but it was as big as a soft ball almost. I just knew it was broken. All the girls were standing around her and she was just crying....Not sure if it was a pain cry or I can't play volleyball cry, but anyway
Here we go to the ER to get it x-rayed and believe it or not we were only at the hospital for about an hour. Yep that's right an hour in the ER at Annie Penn. That has got to be a record.
Results came back no broken bones that they could see but it was swollen so it could be a hair-line fracture and they just can't see it yet. No volleyball for her for at least a week and she is in an air cast and on crutches......and mama is finally breathing a sigh of relief.
I know some of you know what I'm talking about!. I had the worst thoughts driving to the school yesterday. She's broken her leg, she's hit her head and is unconscious......you know how it is. So when it's just an ankle it was a relief knowing it could have been so much worse. So she's not playing right now but still will go and support her team and maybe just maybe will get to play next week but she will have to wear a ankle support to keep it from being hurt again. The next time (hopefully there won't be one but you never know) we may not be so lucky.

Oh no! Poor Julie. That's awful!! I know you must have been frantic but relieved too. I'm happy to hear nothing is broken. But even if its a hair-line fracture I know she's going to be in some pain. Ugh, I hope it heels quickly so she can play next week. Please give her a big hug for me!!
What are we going to do with these girls? First Kristine and now Julie. The weird thing they both hurt the same ankle.I know how Kristine was and I can just imagine how Julie was feeling. Hopefully she wont have to be on those crutches to long.
Poor Juliebug! And poor momma! Goodness, you would think they would let you know on the phone instead of letting your mind think of the other posibilites (?) Hopefully, this will be the last time she keeps hurt!
I just love your new background! So cute!!
Hope you have a great rest of the afternoon :)
