Erin is one tough cookie, and she proved it on the soccer field yesterday. She was fighting for a ball and she went down hard. She rolled a bit and got right back up and kept playing. Later in the game she took her regular rest break. As she was standing on the sidelines, she said to her coach, "Katie, my wrist really hurts." Her fingers, wrist and forearm were swollen. One of the soccer dads, who is also a physician, took a look at Erin and said, "It's probably broken." He was generous enough to take us to his clinic after the game and put a temporary splint on her arm.
We spent a big part of today on x-rays and follow-up, first the hospital:
And then at the doctor's office.
We're pretty sure Erin's wrist is not broken, but we need to wait for the radiologist's report at some point tomorrow before we know for sure. In the meantime, Erin's got the go-ahead to run cross country and play soccer. While her wrist is swollen and sore, she's thrilled she can continue to compete. Did I mention how tough Erin is?
