Elli

I went today to visit Elli. She is one of the team gymnasts for Premier. She had been diagnosed with Cushings disease and they removed a tumor from her putuitary gland. She is doing well, but will be absent from the gym for around three months. As many of you know her and I share a special bond and she rides with me in the mornings to the gym as I munch my breakfast apple and prepare my head for the day. She always gives me this one eyebrow raised look as we drive and she tells me of her saga's. She is 11 but seems to be 35. She is an amazing girl. If you would like to send a card or an email let me know and I will get you the information. Since she is a gym addict the recovery is going to seem pretty extreme to her so don't leave her behind! Keep in touch with her. I am thanking God that they were able to find it and stop the damage. She should be out of the hospital next week. <3 We love you Elli!!

August

August is progressing well. Having some fun with back tucks on the beam, double backs for floor and new release moves and mounts on the bars. The gymnasts keep moving forward, keep impressing us with their thriving skill bases. We are looking forward to September, to see all the team kids together in the gym. If you have not already, please pick up your gymnasts photos in the gym. Cahill did an awesome job with the photos, be sure to send them out a quick email to thank them! If you do not have in your team registration papers, please be sure to do that, the deadline is August 15th.

See you in the gym!
