Mum called about an hour and a half ago to tell me she'd found out that Martin and Jen were at the hospital with our Sophie (youngest niece, 15 years old) with suspected broken wrist from a cheerleading fall. Just heard from her again: they've plastered her up, but they may have to transfer her to Huddersfield, remove the cast and operate. Not sure why. Maybe a really bad or complex break?
Anyway. Feeling very sorry for Sophie and also my bro and SiL. What a horrible way to spend a night. Poor bloody kid.
We've all been worried something like this might happen. There've been other kids in the squad/team(?) who've been hurt and she's had a few near misses herself.
Recently she's been getting into dancing as well, and blew everyone away with her performance at a show last week. So, we've all been quietly hoping the cheerleading would be naturally pushed aside by the dancing.
Small mercies: she finished her exams this week. Given it's her right hand, this could have really screwed up this round of exams and that would have been a shame, because she's worked really hard.
