Los Angeles 2021 Parent posted:Hello again. Pause in the action so a time for an update on 2021 in his recovery from labrum surgery in July 18th, 2019 resulting from tear in season in April 3rd, 2019.
2021 returned to competitive baseball on game 3 of his high school season as a DH and was thrilled to be in the line up. In his second at bat he hit his first high school home run! He has been in and out of lineup as DH rules in our league do not allow re-entering games, but he is thrilled to be back helping his team.
Then last week we had a significant lead and he got in to catch for 2 innings with the stipulation from his coach he couldn’t throw down. Again all smiles! Now it is continued rehab to get back to regular play which if he stays on target will be April 1st, about one year from the initial injury.
Progression is still something to monitor—biggest question has been trying to distinguish between “soreness” and “pain.” Lots of the former and, for now, thankfully not much of the latter.
Hope this update is a mild diversion from the rest of the news. I appreciate all the messages of support and have let 2021 know about each one we receive!
GREAT news! Maybe this little pause will be just what he needs to not feel any pressure to rush recovery to the finish line.
