I am the father of Jordan Wollard. First of all, thank you to everyone at the tournament who was concerned for Jordan, all your thoughts, prayers and concerns are greatly appreciated. I especially want to thank this mom of the Piper club for starting this post. Please share with Jake that he certainly didn't do anything wrong and Jordan will be fine. I also want to thank our club for all of their support, calls and concerns.

We were taken to KU MED and after xrays and several hours, we're transfered to Children's Mercy for further evaluation. Another set of xrays and more waiting hours, they initially determined it was severely dislocated. However, this morning Children's Mercy called us and re-examined his xrays with more orthodedic doctors. They concluded that he does in fact have a fracture. They called it an avulsion fracture. The tendon separated from the bone, pulling fragments with it. There is a possibility that it may require surgery to repair. We will follow up with an orthopedic doctor this week to determine how to proceed.

Thanks for your encourgement to Jordan. This was Jordan's first open tournament and only his second match of the season. He said in the hospital last night "so I guess I lost". He was amazed this morning that so many people were asking about him. He thought it was cool. We are concerned after this injury that he will not want to wrestle again. I think knowing so many people showing their concern, is encouraging him. He said this morning that maybe he could still go to practice and watch his brother. Needless to say, his dad and wrestling brother Josh, is glad to hear that. Oh - and mom's doing OK too.

If you like, I can post further with updates on Jordan's recovery. Thanks again.
