Bad Timing.....

That has to be a tough one...I am sure no one is as disappointed as your son.

Be a rock for him, kids heal faster than we think and he will be back soon.

OMG... I feel absolutely horrible for y'all. I can't imagine how badly you, your son, and his team must feel! Hopefully, you'll get some stories out there that will assure that these kinds of things can happen AND you can recover and go on to baseball successes after high school!

Wishes for a speedy recovery!

Arrggghhhh! Really hate to hear the bad news.

We'll be praying that your son has an amazing recovery.

Sorry to hear about anyone getting hurt. Senior year no less. Talk about your nightmares!! Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.

Bad timing indeed -- argh!!! I hope his recovery is rapid. I don't think the college will lose interest -- they may just have to wait a little while longer to see what they're getting.

Hang in there -- I imagine the emotions are very difficult right now.

Our prayers go out to your son. Got to be tough on him.

I hate to hear that.

Thanks for all the well wishes. He's a tough kid and if anyone can come back, it's him. He was so pumped about this year and the prospects of having a good season and hopefully getting signed by one of the two schools that have been talking to him. Just when youthink you're at the home stretch....

Hopefully, it's a clean break 4-6 wks worth of a cast and rehab...back on the field by district or shortly thereafter without missing a beat....think positive, stay positive, be positive

Best of luck with it, ITS. Hate to hear that happen to anyone.

Sorry to hear such bad news. Still hope he gets to enjoy the season rooting for the team. Hurting seniors still can be leaders and have a big influence on teammates.

Please don't rush the healing process. Someone once told me that a second break never heals as well. There is summer to think about and a lot here think there is more recruiting during summer ball than during HS.

Some pretty good news - ortho put hhim on an upper body regimine and told him he can start throwing and bunting as soon as it is comfortable to put weight on the leg. He will xray in two weeks and go to a removable boot as soon as possible. Says he should be in game shape by playoffs if he works hard with the pt and otherwise 'behaves'. The bad news is he would rather not see him catch for the remainder of the season. That is his primary position.

Doc is part of a very well respected sports medicine team and served as school's team physician when son attended private high school freshman year. He's very aggressive with rehab and can get guys back fast if they follow instructions. Did my knee surgery in October.

We appreciate all the encouraging thoughts and words. Son seems to have a pretty good attitude about things right now. He even went to school yesterday for a few minutes to pick up homework - without being asked to do so. There is a bright side to everything.

That is great news from the Dr......I wish him a speedy recovery and a successful season.

I know your son's conduct through this ordeal will give scouts and coaches a chance to see how well he handled adversity and how much he made of what he could do (e.g, upper body workouts, supporting team, etc.). This will be a positive for him, as there are still many coaches who value character.

ITS did you get a spring training trip scheduled? glad to hear about the good prognosis and even better attitude. hope you get to see the yankees.
