See what happens?!?!?!

For those who may be in need of a little laugh I will remind you of the fact that I am currently the cheerleader advisor at my junior high. I will give you a moment to get your giggling under control......................................................................................................................... Now on to the story.

This week has been cheer try-outs. Today was the actual judging day and we made it through without incident. That is, until the very end of the very last dance. As the girls went to perform their splits I noticed that one girl crumpled to the floor and did not get up. I ran down out of the stands to see what was wrong. She had popped her knee cap out of place. She wasn't crying but she was in a lot of pain. I sat down on the floor with her and laid her head in my lap. Her dad had been out front waiting for her so he was able to come straight in when she called him. Because she was in so much pain she would not let us move her, so we finally just called the paramedics. When the paramedics got there they decided to put in an IV to start some pain medication. My student had been doing so well, but the idea of a needle caused her to freak out. So, I had to try to help the paramedics hold her down to get an IV in. She grabbed both of my arms and wrapped them around her head so that she couldn't see what was going on in her arm. Then the paramedics went to place a brace around her leg and she spazzed again. She kept saying, "I need to hold Ms. White! Ms. White where's you hand? I need you to hold me." I felt so badly for her. Her dad stood near her feet saying, "Come on, you aren't that weak." So, I got to play cheer advisor, counselor, school official, and mother all at the same time.

See what happens when you put Sarah White in charge of the cheerleaders?!?! I swear I warned someone last year that this was not a good idea!
