We were all so excited when Karlee made drill team. She had the opportunity to officially perform with the team only once when we realized she was hurt - bad.
Karlee was diagnosed with apophysitis. Due to a combination of a recent growth spurt and hard dancing, her hamstring muscles/tendons pulled on her butt bones where the tendons attach. This was causing extreme pain with the potential to actually fracture the bone.
The last 5+ weeks she has been under strict orders of no physical activity. She is just now starting back into physical therapy. Hopefully she will be able to dance with drill this winter & spring, because she is such a beautiful dancer and it is sure fun to watch her!
