Jarika Update :(

Well after being chewed out by the doc for wearing flip flops, Jarika is out of cheerleading for at least three weeks. Her ankle is resprained and is not good. He told us that if this continues she will need another surgery that will require her being cut from her knee all the way down to her ankle to use a tendon to do some sort of wrap procedure to fix the ankle. She will then pretty much be out of all sports from then on. Jarika is devastated to say the least. So she's now packing for cheerleading camp where she gets to sit and watch the fun for four days. She is extremely bummed. We're hoping that the next few weeks off will help and she'll be able to participate after that. We have to go to Sports Medicine after she returns and see if we can find a different brace since she sprained it this time with her brace on. I feel so bad for her, this is not going to be easy. She misses out on the competitions which is one of her favorite parts of camp and she has tried out for All-American every year since the age of 7 except one two years ago because her, yep, her ankle being sprained. No one ever knows if they'll get nominated but now she doesn't even get the chance to be looked at. Well, this way she knows it not because lack of ability, just lack of participation. So, please cover my girl in prayer that she will handle this well. There will be much talk that she's faking, it doesn't really hurt, she just wants attention, etc. Girls are a pain sometimes and hopefully she'll just let mean comments roll off of her. We can just pray.
