Nowadays, South Summit is rooting for her. Daughter of Francis residents David and Diann Home, Michelle recently broke her back at a United Cheer Association camp at the University of Utah. "I never thought anything like this would happen," Michelle said. She has two years of cheerleading experience. "I didn't think cheerleading was dangerous at all." Michelle says she has no feeling in her legs, and doctors are unsure of the extent of her injuries because of swelling. "They said that I probably will be able to walk again, we just don't know how long it will take," she said. Not only does Michelle expect to walk again, she plans to cheer again as soon as she can. Until then, her mother Diann said they'll have to make their house "wheelchair "wheel-chair accessible." The injury happened during a "basket toss," where a group of cheerleaders throw one girl up into the air, she does a toe-touch, and then falls back into her teammates' arms. "They've thrown the toss a billion times and nothing's ever gone wrong," said feilow cheerleader Dylan Larsen. "Something just went totally wrong in the stunt." Michelle says she doesn't remember exactly how the accident happened, "I just remember my back hurting and then and I couldn't feel my legs." Eyewitness Larsen said Michelle flew backwards instead of straight up, then landed on her neck and rolled over. "She was just screaming, then the coaches came over and pushed us away," Larsen said. "They called the ambulance, then the girls in the stunt started crying, then all the girls started crying."

The accident happened during a supervised cheerleading activity. Smith said. "It wasn't just an accident waiting to happen." "It makes me really afraid to do stunts anymore, even the simplest ones." Larsen said. "It's like a big reality check. Everyone knew it could happen but of course it could never happen to us. It was supposed to happen to someone else." Michelle said she and her family have no intention of filing a lawsuit because of the injury. Diann said she and her husband David take turns spending time with their daughter. The medical bills will be more expensive than normal because the family's insurance considers University Hospital "out of network." "Money's not the object." Diann said. "The object is to get her well." lTie accident happened on June 30, and Michelle is scheduled to stay at University Hospital until at least Aug. 10, with lour hours of therapy per day. To help defray the cost of soaring medical expenses Michelle's fellow cheerleaders donated the $1,000 they'd raised for the coming year. They opened a special account at the Kamas Key Bank under Michelle's name. Community members are invited to donate as well. "We couldn't have picked a better place to reside," Diann said. "We thank the community for their help and kindness. kind-ness. Everybody's taking good care of us." Shortly after the injury, her fellow cheerleaders and South Summits drill team made signs that read "We love you, Michelle" or "We miss you. Michelle" and hung them around Kamas. "I think it's great how people tell me there are signs everywhere and everyone's every-one's praying for me," Michelle said. "It really helps me." m Ml Si optical siotiaQ (IDdcbde? cnQQcddDuDs CsiQvriin) CSQdeira NsiQoflricsi DDKMV COLLEEN SCHUBACH, 0D Optometri Physician eye exams LASIK 'eyeglasses (Laser eye surgery) contact lenses 'sunwear 1750 W.
