Josh was injured today... he has broken the growth plate in his leg near the knee... he'll be in a cast from toe to hip for many many weeks and will likely be finished racing for the season...
He is devastated (along with the rest of the family) and it is heartbreaking to see his dreams and goals for this season get dashed...
No he didn't crash... we went out to practice and he stepped into a hole when he put his foot down to start his bike... he lost his balance and fell over and twisted his knee until it snapped....
I'll update with a pic when he's not in so much pain (and in a better mood...)
For right now we'd apprciate your prayers...
And any tips as to how to deal with the itchyness under the cast... he feels like he's going crazy!!!
