Bumps and Bruises!

This week has been a interesting week.  One of the players on our basketball team got into a car accident this week.  Thank god she is okay, but it was a pretty serious accident.  It really makes you stop and think.  She spun on ice went into the ditch and hit a stump.  After she regained conciousness she called 911 and then her Dad.  The car was damaged enough that they had to use the jaws of life to get her out.  She ended up with a concusion, a broken collar bone, a very serious let hand injury that require immediate surgery, and lots of bruises.  She is out for the rest of the season.  When I got the news of the accident my heart jump a beat and I got that horrible feeling in my stomach.  Like I said, we are all very happy that she is okay.  She will have to under go lots of rehab on her hand, but her spirits are great.  Last night she sat on our bench and cheered her team on as they played thier first game with out her (a Sophomore starter on Varsity).  I really just makes you realise how precious life is, and also how great the human spirit is.  She might not be able to play the rest of this season, but she is still a part of our team, and will contribute anyway she can!  We are very happy that someone was watching out for her this week!
