All-Star Brighten A Recuperating Little Cheerleader's Day , Take 2

Got an update on Karli.
I mentioned in the first post that Karli had a broken leg and arm - well that was the experienced opinion of her coach. Unfortunately, on her first visit to the hospital they didn't think the xray showed a break in her arm- a week later, they do another xray and "oh, gee" her arm is broken. Apparently, they were focused on her leg initially because they had concerns about the circulation. Consequently, Karli had been dealing with a broken arm that was not set in a cast for a week. But, everything is on the mend, though she is facing at least another month with the casts. Her family is so very appreciative of the cards and "thinking of you" gifts. They are working on thank-yous, but wanted to again just let everyone know in advance how much it means to them that people have been thinking of Karli.

You know, I reread my posts at least twice before actually posting and I can still manage to be unclear.:oops: I was trying not to be too wordy. I should have clarified that when the accident occured, Karli's coach was sure that Karli's arm as well as her leg was broken. However, either the initial xray was unclear or the doctor who read it missed the break and it wasn't discovered until she went back on a followup.

Haha, its all good. I was thinking, dang, she called me out for not knowing for sure. We could all tell it was broken as it wasnt moving. She is doing quite well though. We had team performances this week as were headed to nationals this week and she was there to support her sisters and teammates. Its going to be a long weekend for that poor girl in her wheel chair.
