OUCH!! POP!!

Here is Carter is his usual Alta gear- yes the season has begun and both he and Will are playing this year! It was an exiting tryout week and they both landed on awesome teams! carter's first day of practice with his team he was practicing tackles and landed right on his left kneecap- there was an ouch, a pop, and then some screaming afterward! He was pretty bummed he got hurt and went home that day and started to swell! We got him into the doctor on Monday morning to find out exactly what had happened and by then the swelling had gotten better but not great.




This shot was taken Monday morning before we got him off the the doctors. You can kinda see the bruising on that knee. We found out it was a sub-luxation of the kneecap. Basically he dislocated his kneecap and it slid back over on it's own. So we immediately got him into physical therapy and he is doing exercises to gain the strength back in that knee and the muscles around it. He is doing REALLY WELL and will be back on the field in about a week and a half- but he's not counting or anything- yeah right!!!
GO ALTA BLACK AND ALTA WHITE!!!
