    Parents Another After Break Question

    yes, my little ds wore a brace for five weeks after an ulna radial break. It looked similar to this one. https://www.ezywrap.com/p-1079-ultimate-supreme-v-wrist-and-forearm-support-with-thumb-spica-105.aspx

    Parents Broken Radius After Care

    Yes, same, very effortless. He's fallen a million times and just managed to fall the wrong way and braced and snap. ugh! I get nauseous just thinking about it! At the ER they said it is very common and see tons of those a week! In fact, another little boy was walking out as we rolled in...

    Parents Broken Radius After Care

    My non-gymnast, broke his arm in August, but the radius and the ulna clear through and they had to be surgically set. It was horrifying. He was in a cast for 5 weeks and then in a brace for another 4. Even after the brace came off, you could see a line in both of his bones and it did not look...

    Parents So, when you kid breaks her hand three days before state

    I love the bluetooth routine! lol As much as I love this kid, I don't think she has that in her. She was out for most of the season with her back and just getting back in time to compete three events at state.

    Parents So, when you kid breaks her hand three days before state

    No good story, just jammed it on a funky vault landing. She was having back issues earlier in the season and had to switch from a yurchenko to a tsuk while getting through the back stuff. She was so proud to be able to learn a new vault so quickly. Got in the car last week and started sobbing...

    Yeah, that sucks and that's all I have to say about that. No state, no regionals. That silver lining is somewhere right?

    Parents Tell Me Your Changing Gyms Story

    We made a switch last year after being at old gym for 8 years. Should have left before that. I forced her to leave and there was a lot of crying. It was an adjustment and a bummer meet season with some injuries, but she is in a much better place emotionally and has made some new great...

    WAG Is it normal to have to ice your back after practice?

    My 12 year old was having issues with her back about a month ago that would not go away. Having had multiple friends who had fractures at this age, I got really worried and shut her down until we could get to the orthopedic. A x-ray and bone scan later, we determined it was a muscular issue...

    WAG Falls on beam... Please help settle a debate w/DD

    I would say two as well, but I'm just a mom. My dd has the mount where she straddle splits the beam. She touched the beam at one meet and went to jump up, but kind of popped her feet off the ground once, came back down and popped up again quickly into her splits and was deducted for a fall.

    Parents forced a gym switch -are they happy?

    Honestly, I didn't want to leave our last gym. She had good friends there and had them since she was tiny and it was much closer and convenient for me. But we had given it our all and it wasn't a good place for her. I now compare our experience to being in an abusive relationship. You don't...

    Parents forced a gym switch -are they happy?

    We did a forced gym switch at the beginning of this past summer. She's 12 and has been at the same gym since she was 4. She cried a lot, did not want to leave her friends. She has adjusted so well. Is so happy and progressing and making friends. I'll be honest, she adjusted better than I...

    Parents The guilt...

    I feel guilt too. My 9 year old just feel off the monkey bars last week in our back yard and badly broke his arm. Just planted wrong and broke the radius and his ulna. Had to be put under to have it surgically "set." Every time someone asks how it happens or if I was watching him, gives me a...

    WAG Level 8 floor question

    I've seen a few gyms who use the above pass in lieu of the double front salto. It seems less difficult to me than the double front salto, but who am I? lol Those front salto passes can look really awkward. I also thought there had to be a skill with a twisting element, but I guess I was...

    Parents meet agegroups

    What makes you think this happened? I referenced a look on her face of being defeated and devastated but she didn't make a scene. It was the look on her face that got to me. She sat there and clapped for everyone like she always does. She didn't cry. Yes, she held back tears when she came...

    Parents meet agegroups

    Yes, the groups were 11 and under, 12-13, 14-15 and 16+ My dd was listed in the program as a 12-13. She didn't realize until the skipped her name/score on bars that they had put her in the younger group. I think it would have been crappy to list her as a Junior B and then put her in Junior A...
