Layne's Broken Arm

Well, well.  A pretty bad softball injury required surgery for Layne in early May.  Layne was on third base and it was a hit and run play.  As soon as the ball was pitched Layne took off.  The problem was the batter hit a pop up in the infield.  Layne dove back to 3rd base.  She jammed her arm into the base and broke the end of the bone in her arm off.  Ouch.  When they went in for surgery there we some other issues too.  No more softball for awhile.  No more running for awhile.  

This was the most special thing ever! Her cross country coach came to her house to give her the sweatshirt she earned.  The 100 mile club.  

She ran more than 100 miles.  This was such a great thing to do for Layne.  Good job coach! 

Phase two the cast is off and now a brace/cast.  

By mid June she was able to start running short distances with a brace on.  He is still working on getting back to 100 percent in early August!  Layne is running with her cross country team now and still doing physical therapy. She never gives up!!!  

We will see her run cross country this fall and can't wait to see her play softball next summer.
