my 8 year old is a level 3 gymnast and tops. She did her first 3 competitions and did great medaled a ton and was really loving being on team...until the dreaded practice where she broke her forearm doing a double backhand spring. She is will be in cast for 6-8 weeks. She was training 12 hours a...
Well I broke my foot about a month ago, and I just kind of felt with the pain, but last week I was a flip fest and decide that I should probably go see a doctor, so Friday after camp I did and turn out I broke a small bone by my toes in half. Whoops! Anyway, I can't go back to camp now ( I went...
We just got back from the x- Ray and meeting with an orthopaedic surgeon, turns out dd broke two bones in her elbow ,her humorous, and her ulna. We have surgery scheduled for friday, they are going to insert two pins in her elbow to keep the bone in place and then cast it while she's under...
Ugh. My DD, getting ready to compete the new L6, broke her hand doing ROBHS on the tumble track. The crack/snap was heard by everyone within 20 feet. She just placed her hand wrong. She has a rotational fracture of her 3rd metacarpal, her finger is kind of pointing in the wrong direction. A...
I feel so bad for my daughter, the ER doctor said she broke her thumb on her growth plate. When I said something about gymnastics he said to expect at least 6 months out?! We haven't gotten in to see the specialist but was he right or full of crap? Please say full of it, because DD was supposed...
Last night DD was very excited as she told me she now officially "has" her aerial and back tuck on the high beam.
On Monday she had been doing them on the road and low beam with the gymnova mat and went down to a yoga mat and then no mat. She must have been in the right mindset as next thing I...
Wednesday at practice, my dd broke her wrist. It was the scariest thing when I get the call from the gym saying that your daughter hurt her wrist and is screaming on the floor. Especially when your a hour hour away.... We had to go in an ambulance and her wrist was popped out of place and the...
Yesturday at gymnastics I was doing a bhs on low beam and my foot missed and my pinky toe landed on the beam and that's it. It hurt a lot but I thought it was going to pass so I just told a few friends and not my coach. It was red and fat for about 1 hour then the redness went down but it was...
Hey everyone
So at practice on Monday I was kind of fooling around when I was tumbling. So I was warming up a full and I didn't spin enough and I landed on the side of my foot and ya it just broke. Now I have to be out of the gym for a month and in a cast for 2 months :(:(:(:(. I mean ya it...
So my daughters' good friend broke both ankles at the gym Tuesday night. I was on pick up duty and she actually fell just as I came in. I missed the fall but saw the rolling on the ground. She actually told my daughter right after that she was fine and was moving feet around. Well coaches...
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...
This has been a hard week... I'm not sure I've ever cried so much. Tuesday night Rylee (my 4 year old) was doing gymnastics in her class (fast tracks) at the gym and she broke her elbow. They had mats folded up and then lined up (for running distance) to add some "height" to do round offs over...
Yesterday DD was walking barefoot down the hall and stubbed her toe on a crate I have there:rolleyes:. It was bleeding, and she didn't really cry, we put ice on it, and a band-aid, and for gym I taped it to the toe next to it (it's her middle toe)
When she got back from the gym, her toe, and...
Lunch with coach went great. Very supportive ,encouraging and happy for her. Even gave her alot of good advice about how to make the transition easier. Thanks to all for your good luck wishes!! I feel soooo much better now!!:)
Coincidentally, she was my "Little Sister". It was a clean break, Thank God. She was doing a squat on, and kind of tumbled of the low bar, and put her right arm down and *SNAP*, it was broken. Nobody else thought it was broken, but I saw the way it jerked, and then after that she couldn't move...
At least this is the word from the training camp according to the NBC olympic website. I am sorry that I don't know how to add the link....maybe the next poster could do that. Eventually I will learn this :)
It is so sad to hear---how hard to work for something and have it all taken away...
