Her coach was making the decision today and I just got the call. This has been a tough couple of months for her between crashes and injuries (hyper-extended her knee Friday night). I mean I knew...sorta. The tough part will be telling her. She still has to go to practice and workout what she can with all of her teammates that are going to State. She told me last night when I picked her up that she felt sure she could just "work thru it". I don't think she understands just how badly she could injure it.
Think good thought's for us today around 3pm when I pick her up to take her to the gym. I'll have to drop the bomb then.
Ooh, I don't envy you that discussion. Can you offer her something really fun to do instead? It won't take away the disappointment, but it may take the sting out a little.
I am so sorry she will miss States. I know this is very hard, and telling her will not be fun. However, the risk of making her injury worse and having to quit gym would be worse. Best of luck.
I am so sorry to hear that, though it does sound like the best thing given her injury. I know she will be disappointed. I hope that you can do something to make it up to her.
That's heartbreaking! but it will be better for her in the end to not cause more injury. That won't help her through today though. Why don't you offer her the chance to leave practice early today orr not go at all and let her do something she doesn;t uually get to. Within reason of course. She may really need the distraction, depending on how upset she is. One mised practice won't hurt. My heart goes out to you, but this too shall pass. Be strong for your dd and lots and lots of hugs and kisses to her!
