Many, including myself, have been thinking a lot about Kathryn.
I’ve seen a few rumours, but nothing confirmed. So far.

Michigan State senior gymnast Kathryn Mahoney (Western Springs, Ill.) sustained a fracture of her C6 vertebra while vaulting in practice on Wednesday, Dec. 29. The Michigan State medical staff confirmed that she has successfully completed surgery to stabilize her C6 vertebra and are optimistically waiting to see how she recovers in the post-operative stage.
I’ve even saw one commenter on Aunt Joyce who said she had some movement in one foot.
I’ll be thinking positive. Ultra-fit gymnasts seem to do much better than average folks when it comes to these kind of traumas.

I’m thinking about her and hoping for the best for her. I thought the worst when my mum had an unstable fracture in her spine this summer. Miraculously they operated and stabilise the fracture and she is doing unbelievably well now. They say it’ll take up to a year before she can do everything she could do before the injury again but they’re very hopeful. To look at her you wouldn’t know there was anything wrong.
Spinal injuries are horrendous and it is very easy to think the worst but I know first hand that miracles can happen and I am just hoping and praying that they happen for Kathryn too.
