Dumb luck!



As I have posted before.....I have spent most of my summer running my teenage daughter around....mostly to volleyball related activities. She went daily to weights and conditioning (did wonderful things for her body!), she went to a variety of volleyball camps...all gearing up for tryouts for the highschool team. The competition is stiff and only 1 senior was on the team last year, so basically leaving open only 1 spot (with exceptions of anyone moving,quitting etc..) Volleyball tryouts began today. My daughter went to the "party of the summer" on friday evening.....and guess what~ she tore ligaments in her ankle, jumping on a trampoline!!! We spent all of saturday morning at the ER. she spent the whole day crying after the doctor told her that she couldn't put any weight on it for several days.....she is on crutches and a splint...being the hopeful soul that my daughter is, she went to volleyball tryouts anyway. She hobbled in on crutches and wouldn't let Jeff go in to talk with the coaches....my heart just aches for her. Hoping the coaches realize how hard she tried this summer and take a chance on her.
