Update:
Bella has made tremendous strides in a very short time, and is close to being released from the hospital to begin her long road to recovery at home.
I was able to go with my kid's team to see her Saturday.
It was amazing to see her laying in her hospital bed, not a scratch on her face, smiling from all the love being sent her way.
I've watched Bella grow from an 8 yr old on my rec team back at SHB to the beautiful young woman she is today, and things like this really put things in perspective as far as what is important.
Please keep Bella and her family in your prayers.

Best wishes to her and her family.
All I could find regarding the 30 foot fall was " a kid being a kid ".
HB family. This is a great time to hammer your kids on the dangers of planking..........

NO IDEA, if this is related. But, it's close enough to call attention to this dangerous new fad.
The kids are upping the ante by planking in very dangerous situations.

Re: Great news - Bella is Back!
praise our heavenly Father.
I have been watching her recovery over the last few months and she IS a miracle!
She is one of the hardest working players I have every seen and IMO this incident has only made her stronger!
She works out at Softball Connection almost every day and is a true insiration to everyone.
I can't wait to see her back on the field.......maybe this weekend!
The next time your day isn't going well or you are feeling down about your situation take a minute and think about the story of a KID who has a dream of playing college softball, then has a life threatning accident, stays strong, fights to get back on track to reach her dream and has never given up on it.
Bella is an a true fighter!
I can't wait to see which college gets this gem!

When Bella walks into Softball Connection I smile as soon as I see her. She is a unbelievable person. I have never seen any one work so hard in my life. Bella is a walking miracle. Please let me know if she is playing out at Diamond Valley this weekend.

It's great to see one of these stories has a happy ending...but I truly hope she is also using this second chance to teach others not to do the same stupid thing she did...

Bella is a classic example of turning a negative into a positive.
Bella knows she did not make a smart decision and it led to her injury.
She knows she has been given a 2nd chance and is making the most of it, not just in softball but in life.
Like someone mentioned above, next time a call doesn't go your team's way, or the snack bar food sucks, or your games are running late, think about what kids like this are going through. Think about the young soldiers dodging roadside bombs overseas. Think about the homeless guy dumpster diving for his dinner...
Kind of puts things in perspective and makes those other "problems" seem pretty silly.
