Haven't been around much for several weeks. Between work, gym and Em's school it's been crazy in our house. Poor Em has continued to have a lot of pain in her knee, and she and her coach finally decided there would be no more competing this year, and Em would ease up for a bit and see if her...

Wanted to send Good Luck wishes to anyone competing at the Sand Dollar/Whitlow meet at Disney this weekend and ask for some for our 4 Star girls. Sand Dollar has been mentioned in a couple of other threads, but I wanted to start a thread just for this meet. It's a huge meet and lots of people...

Just got back from Em's second meet of the season, and I'm happy to say she had a great meet. She was able to compete beam this meet along with bars and vault, we are hoping her leg will be strong enough to do floor by the middle of February - she still does not have enough "punch" to make her...

Just curious about how Olivia did at her meet today. Which events did she end up doing?

I'm looking for lots and lots of "good luck" and "be safe" wishes for tomorrow afternoon. After blowing out her knee last February and having ACL reconstruction surgery in April, Emily has toughed it out and will be competing in our club's first meet of the season. She will be competing bars...

It's been seven long months since Emily's ACL reconstruction, and today the ortho finally cleared her to do "whatever you are comfortable doing" :D I asked Em later if she thought this day would ever come and her reply was "nope" with a big grin on her face. We have been so fortunate to have...

Heading up to Philly tomorrow morning with both Caileigh and Emily to see the orthopedist. Caileigh is hoping to get off her crutches after 4 weeks, and have her cast replaced with a walking boot. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing - LOL - as she is driving the poor trainer at...

Well, it's been a long road for Em since she blew out her knee in February, but she is not only tumbling on floor again, but actually working through her whole floor routine :D She tumbled on floor for the first time a week and a half ago, and literally limped into the house which had me more...

Caileigh goes in for surgery on her fractured fibula tomorrow morning in Philadelphia. :( If all goes well, she should be able to return to practices without restriction in 8 weeks which still gives her a month to get ready for the start of her first NCAA season on Jan 8 - she will be in pretty...

Well it is good news/bad news in our house these days. Em did her first RO BHS's on the tumble track tonight, 8 months after rupturing her ACL and generally trashing her knee. It's been a really long and painful journey to get from there to here, but Em has proven herself to be far tougher...

Em went back for a repeat MRI of her knee today, and we should get the report on Friday. She has been having increasing pain and popping on the inside of her knee for the past month and I'm really afraid that the medial meniscal repair that was done when Em had her ACL reconstructed in April...

My older DD's dream officially came true today when she got her acceptance letter from Wilson College in Pa. Wilson's coach had approached Caileigh at her Level 8 State meet to ask her if she had ever thought of continuing with gymnastics through college. While this had been Caileigh's dream...

We are headed back to Philly in the morning to see Em's orthopedist. She has been doing really well since her ACL reconstruction/meniscus repair in April, but over the past couple of weeks had started having a lot of pain at the site of the meniscal repair. Poor kid is really discouraged...

Greetings! I'm new to the Chalk Bucket, but am an "old" gymnastics mom. My two DDs are 18 and 16,and both of them pretty much live gymnastics. Both girls have been in the gym nearly all their lives, and both have been competing Level 8 this year. Unfortunately, this past Friday Em, my...
