Sunday afternoon was Monarch's season debut! We had a great morning getting ready and were out the door early:
Stephanie snapped a picture of the seniors before the show began:
And then things went south. 16 counts into Issa's first dance she went down. She did it very gracefully and got herself off stage, but I knew it was bad. When I got backstage she was in the wings with Brooke evaluating. Thankfully we have a team mom who is an EMT. She ruled out bone and really, really bad. As a true gift, Stephanie told her she was done for the day, and we were advised to go straight to ortho urgent care.
Our Monarch family stepped up. Vicki all but carried her to the dressing room to change. Her team helped her plan for her littles and stepped into that gap. Moms hugged me and helped me pack. Issa stayed freakily calm, and we headed out:
We received awesome care and a super cool brace:
She was diagnosed with an ugly sprain after a lot of images. Given what we were afraid of, Issa was thrilled. She was cleared to dance in the brace as tolerated starting yesterday. She did everything but big jumps and up and down off the floor no problem. Her senior season is going to happen!
And Kai came in clutch. He drove Mom and Evan home and then joined us in urgent care:
He is so sweet taking care of her.
Everything could have been so much worse, and we feel so lucky and so loved. I would also like to never do that again thank you.
