Well.........Katie's season finished 2 weeks ago......so it was not Softball related.......she broke the same arm 2 games into last year (that is why I kept her 1 more year in coach pitch).
She was racing her sister to the favored TV watching chair and thought that she could beat her if she could just hurdle a chair..........the chair won........she hit her left arm perfectly against a large stereo speaker.......
Last year.....irritated with a boy at the softball park (I was scorekeeping in my middle daughters game)......she took a kick at him.......he grabbed her foot and when she fell backwards............she tried to catch herself and fractured her ulna......good thing is that you cannot even see the previous break on x-rays........bad thing, this time she did not get the pleasure of kicking a boy.........
The OPS says that she will be fine in no time (6-7 weeks)........perfect age to heal a broken bone.........and the break was well away from the growth plates..............(whew).
Here is a picture taken today.......Lauren's last practice before State......
