Nothing too serious, but this is the first time DD has ever gotten hurt doing gymnastics. I tend to be a mom that overreacts about small illnesses, injuries anyway, so it was kind of hard for me. In the way that you see your DD and her teammates doing a BHS all the time and forget it's dangerous until a teammate broke her arm and then it hits home that my child is doing something that could cause potential injury.
So DD was jumping to the high bar and got both hands on, but then slipped off. She fell and put one of her arms back to catch herself. She hurt her elbow and shoulder. She seems to be okay as far as no broken bones, but she's sore. She can move it, put weight on it etc. It's just very sore. I'm just thankful that she was not seriously hurt. I know that's a good way to break your arm or dislocate your elbow. I think DD was most upset about getting lectured about NEVER putting her arms like that to catch herself.
If she still hurts tomorrow I'll have to be the overprotective mother that takes her in for an xray. I'd rather be safe than sorry.
