Jaden's Veterans Day performance and other amazing things


Love, Love Love this Girl!!!

Another amazing show of the talents and diversity Jaden possesses. Jaden did the choreography for this dance and it turned out amazing!!

Unfortunately she tore her hamstring about two weeks before this performance and did not give herself any time to heal. I found out this week, that during this Veterans day performance she felt it tear again!
Her coach called me a little concerned because she was walking all her dances. I had her come up and have an x-ray and go to PT. Luckily there are no avulsions but she is at less then 20% strength on that leg, she SHOULD be out for 8 weeks.
I know she is heart broken. Her Christmas day performance is next week. (All proceeds of this program are going to 4 families here in Grace who have incurred substantial medical debt.) Originally she was to perform 3 dances with solo's in all and now she will only be doing one.
I keep reminding her that if she will just let it heal she will be ok when they start traveling. I just know that is not making her feel any better.

Another amazing thing about this girl: She came home the other day and wanted to know if i had gotten all of her Christmas presents. I, of course, think 'what do you want now'. So I asked her why. She said she wanted to take the left over money and donate it to the families here in grace that they are doing the fund raiser for! She would've given up her entire Christmas if she could have!!! Now that is a Proud Mom Moment! Like I said Love this Girl!!
