Overcoming Life's Hurdles

Courtnee has had a lot of experience lately in overcoming hurdles, or not overcoming them--literally.  She decided it would be fun to jump a hurdle at track practice--she is NOT a hurdler.  She didn't realize the hurdle was backwards so when her back foot hit the hurdle, it didn't bend.  She straddled the hurdle, fell forward and caught herself with her right arm which BROKE.  She broke the radial head on her elbow and did some damage to her wrist just in time to take her AP tests.   I got to do her hair for the first time in years and Riley has been helping her a lot, too.  The good part is no cast, but the hard part is remembering that it is broken and has to be treated like a broken bone.  Her biggest concerns have been running Ragnar and doing her makeup and hair, but she has been working hard to overcome this hurdle.
