This I totally agree with. And I know as a momma that is so hard to see her hurt. I do think though, that you don't want to hold her back either. Support her and be her number one fan. I'm wondering too, if its that bad, the coaches and what not should not allow her to run. Falls and bruises are going to happen. But if its serious, that's another story. If it were me, there's no way I would have let her go to the hospital with out me. Grumpy husband or not, he could kiss my ass, an arguement is not going to keep me from my baby. Don't let that drive a wedge between you and your daughter.

Don't go to bed, and pretend you don't hear them. Stay up and make sure your daughter knows you are concerned about her and want to make sure she's ok. Give her a kiss, and tell her you love her. Because it does sound like she wants to do this for herself, not for him. So support her dreams, while protecting her health and well being, and you and hubby keep your difference of opinion on the matter between the two of you. That way she can make a decision about it without any pressure.

Tension and arguments are not fun. I would talk to doctors and coaches, then you and hubby talk. Without her around. She doesn't need to see the fighting. Come to terms, some agreements, or same ground. She needs you guys united and strong.

I hope this all works out ok for all parties. And I know sometimes just having a shoulder to vent on can make all the difference in the world. Feel free to pm me anytime.
