And it begins....

Well all, we have the first sports injury of the season. No, Holley didn't fly off the bars and crack her head open and Scotty did not break something important in football. No, this time it is Macie. She has been having increasing difficulty with her right knee since she started cross country. Last night when I saw her after I got home from work, I knew something was really wrong.I took her to her Dr. this afternoon and he diagnosed her with patellar tendonitis. Meaning tendonitis around her knee cap. She is starting to feel better because she did not run today. He gave her some stretching exercises as well as some strengthening exercises to do every day and no running for 1-1 1/2 weeks. She is a little bummed. For the past week or so, I thought she was complaining about her knee because she really secretly wanted out of cross country. Even today on the way to the Dr. I told her, it's ok, you can stop if it's not for you. Her eyes got watery and she said, "Mom, I REALLY like running. " Now I feel bad because I didn't listen to her earlier. Oh well, never said I'd win the mother of the year award. Anyway, today Scott had a scrimmage with another team preparing for his first game on Sat. and Macie went to her flute lesson. Tomorrow, Holley has a gymnastics meet. Meme is going to take her since I will be working. I worked Tues and Wed. this week which is why I haven't posted any updates in the last couple of days. Gotta run, need to get the kids to bed so I can get some shut-eye. 5 am comes VERY early. Stay tuned....
