I dropped Emma off at soccer tryouts and when I came back to pick her up and drop off Navy she walked up to me really quiet. I asked her how it went and could tell she was off. I looked at her and she was doing everything she could not to cry and held out her arm, where you could see her bone was out of place. We went into crazy mode and left kids with different people and met Jake at the e.r. She broke both of her arm bones. Her big bone she broke all the way through and it was displaced. Luckily she didn’t have to have surgery after manipulation. Emma had a splint then two casts, then a splint again, each for three weeks.
Poor girl does not bruise and this break wrecked her arm and skin. She was devastated she could not play soccer. Gratefully she had an excellent coach that let her help manage the team. She was finally cleared and able to play in one scrimmage game and’s the teams very last game of the season.
Seeing her smile back on the field she loved every minute. Coach told her she would have been captain and was an important part of the team. He invited her on to the school podcast to talk about her experience and I am so proud of the young woman she is.
