With only a week to go before their first game, Savannah injured herself at tumbling practice.For those of you familiar with tumbling jargin, she had just thrown a full--it was perfect--except for the fact that she landed just a little funny on her foot.
funny enough that it tore ligaments,
broke the bone in her heel
& bruised the bones in her foot.
for two months she has been quite the trooper
doctor visits
MRI
physical therapy
discomfort
wearing an ugly black brace
& maintained a great spirit the entire time!
less than 48 hours before her first competition this year
she was cleared to jump
these first two images are from her first night 'back in action'
unfortunately for the last two months there have been no tumble passes
no fulls
no triple toe backs
no layouts
no front hurdlers
none of these....
I have hated that she missed so many weeks from tumbling her junior year.
she cheers both for the football squad & the competition squad
but hopefully we're on the road to recovery
we know it could have been much worse
we know it could have been much worse
(this image used by permission from the Gwinnett Daily Post)Emily has made her debut into the cheerleading world this fall & loves it.
She seems to be quite a natural.
Pictured below at her first competition rocking her toe touch!
I mentioned in my previous post that our area suffered flooding after severe rainstorms.
our home was not damaged but many in the area are still rebuilding & will be so for quite sometime to come.
it seemed like it rained for days
sadly it stormed on the night of savannah's homecoming
needless to say, i do NOT prefer my indoor shots
i've got to figure out iso & other camera thingies
she & her bestie went with the sweetest boys ever
& had such a fabulous time despite the dreadful weather
that darn ankle still causing a little difficulty !
just being silly while the boys where in another room
because of course
they're way too mature to horse around like this
in front of their dates
wink
