NHS Softball Player’s Leg Healing; 8-12 Weeks To Play Again

Northview High School softball player Amber McMillan — the girl in the photo that shows her leg being broken — was at the Andrews Institute Monday afternoon to find out more about how bad her leg is.

Mom Donna McMillan says that it will be 8 to 12 weeks before there is any chance for Amber to play softball again.

The doctor said Monday that the original surgeon did a great job, Donna said. Amber still has a rod in her leg that begins just below the knee and ends near her ankle. It will be about six months before doctors know if the rod will need to be removed.

Now, Donna said, Amber will being physical therapy four times a week. She will be able to return to Northview as soon as she can put weight on her leg and the swelling decreases.

NorthEscambia.com ran a story about Amber last Friday and the amazing photo that shows her leg at the moment it was broken. Click here for that story.
