After five years of cheer, Lauren gets her first major injury! We are feeling pretty lucky about this because Cheer is pretty dangerous! She was doing of all things- a cartwheel and broke her little pinky toe. Which you would think this wouldn't be that BIG of a deal but she is on crutches and pain meds, poor girl! Which also means no Cheer for THREE WHOLE weeks. That seems to be the worst for Lauren and her team- they really count on her! If you miss a practice it isn't like dance where they just fill in your spot, all the stunts are dependent on each person, without one the whole stunt group can't practice. Not a great time with competitions right around the corner!

Oh No! Poor Lauren! I know how much broken toes hurt, as I think I've broken my big toes a dozen times!

All that pressure... get that girl an understudy!

Poor Lauren but it could be worse. When I first saw the picture I thought it would be a boken foot or ankle. I hope she recovers soon!

Way to go Lauren! Way to screw it up for your whole team - sheesh. With competitions right around the corner, you could have been a little more careful!

I'm totally joking. I know how bad a broken toe is. She got pain meds? I need to talk to that doc.
