This request is nowhere near as serious as some that have been posted but it's a prayer request just the same.



A couple weeks ago DD hurt her foot at dance team practice. She iced it and took ibuprophen and it seemed fine so she'd dance at practice and games, reinjure it and repeat the process. last night she hurt it again and they told her she's not allowed to dance again until she has it xrayed. Fortunately, DH was able to get her into the Dr today and there are no broken bones just a sprain. She's allowed to walk on it but no running or dancing for 2 weeks. Now......the Homecoming dance is 10/4 and she doesn't have another Dr appt until 10/7. What do you think the chances of her not dancing at HC will be? On 10/7 they will re-evaluate the injury and decide if she can dance at that point or if she needs more time off to heal. DD is concerned that they will write her out of the program since she isn't able to perform. Please pray for rapid healing. Thanks Susan


Oh goodness.. Prayers being said. Hope she gets better soon.

Oh poor thing! :( Tell her to keep off of it! Maybe you can get an earlier appointment. Try calling to see if they have any cancellations. Tell her I am keeping her in my thoughts and prayers! Hugs to Lauren Kelly

so sorry for her, i know she's heartbroken, but take whatever time it needs to heel, sprians can be tough too. wish you well ....

I'll keep her in my thoughts. I hope you can get her in sooner, and if she listens to the doctor, she may be able to dance for homecoming.

Oh No Susan! I know how much dance team means to her - definitely got her in my thoughts and prayers - hopefully if she stays off it as much as possible it will heal in time for Homecoming. Keep us posted!!

I am sorry for your daughter and hope that she is better soon so she can return to the dance team. Soni in NV

Prayers being sent... don't worry about how "serious" it seems... it's important to you and your DD... therefore, it's important! I hope she is back up and arouns quickly. Unfortunately as far as the HC... and her no dancing... chances may be slim and none! Sorry Mom!

prayers as requested Susan -- all the best for your DD and her dance ------ seems she loves it sooo much. I dont understand HC n all that goes with it but prayers all the same for quick healing Shaz

I am praying sooooo hard for her. She has worked sooo hard for this. From what I remember from school though, they will not write her out of the program she will just be benched for a few weeks, kinda like when a football player gets injured. Did you call the doctor to see if there was a way for him to see her on the 3rd to see if it would be ok to dance at homecoming. That is soooo important to a high schooler's life. That is why I won' t home school my kid. No offense to anyone that does. It is your personal oppinion. I just remember all the fun that I did have in highschool and would never want my son to miss out on living that life. Mel

Susan, Sending prayers for rapid recovery. In the meantime,maybe you could change her appointment to just before homecoming so she could see how she is healing and maybe it will be all right to dance? Hugs,

Sabrina :-)

Prayers being said Susan. I doubt they would replace your daughter if she isn't able to perform. Very likely your daughter's foot will heal if she does what the doctor says and stays off of it and takes care of it. I doubt that 3 days will make too much of a difference.

Interesting Sheri --- I wouldnt of realised they had these things as well ---- sports teams? awesome Shaz

aww....Lauren is DEFINITELY in my thoughts and prayers. i know how excited she's been about homecoming. things will work out somehow, i just know it. lori shay

Yeah, cool isn't it? Some of them compete against other home school teams, some compete in private school leagues, and a few have broken into regular leagues with public schools. There's one team in Virginia that keeps beating the public schools so they're trying to kick them out by saying that they don't meet grade eligibility requirements.

I had dated a guy that was home schooled and back 20 years ago they did not do all that stuff. I am sooo glad that times have changed. Kids need that socialization. That is why we are not still together. He hated socializing, and I was just the opposite. Sometimes Opposites do not attract Mel

Hope everything turns out okay for her Susan:>) Prayers for a quick healing for her:>)
