Injury

Shelby sprained her ankle, severely sprained her ankle. After her perseverance to try out for the volleyball team, we are only 3 weeks into the season and she is injured. She was jumping at the net to block and came down with all her weight on the outside of her foot, on her ankle. A trip to urgent care and an x-ray later, we were relieved it was not broken, but severely sprained. Crutches for at least a week and an ankle brace for at least three weeks. She did not cry when the actual injury happened, but the news of no more volleyball unleashed the flow of tears. She worked so hard to be a part of this team and it was devastating to have it come to an end. Of course she will still attend and support and be a part of the team as much as possible, but it will not be the same. It is so hard to watch as life's disappointments dig to the core of your children. There is absolutely nothing I can do to reverse, or make this go away for her. Being the wonderful Shelby that she is, she is upbeat and happy despite hobbling around the house all weekend. No complaints or tears. Being treated like a princess and waited on hand and foot may help with her mood :).
