Today I'm grateful for ten years of injury free softball. As a catcher Abigail is pretty well protected but as with any sport it's not a matter of if they get hurt it is simply a matter of when.
Two weeks ago Abigail was catching for a sixteen year old pitcher who was practicing throwing screwballs. The ball didn't break until it got almost to Abigail's glove and when it did, the 60+mph ball took out Abigail's thumb.
Jon took her to the pediatrician the day Caleb headed to LCU, however there were no broken bones. We've kept it in a brace for a couple of weeks but it was not healing. Today we went to the orthopedic doctor and found that she has a torn ligament.
Abigail will be in a cast for three weeks and then will be in a soft brace for a few weeks. This will put a halt to softball and piano for a few weeks!
Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint;
heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony. Psalm 6:2
