husband enlisted on delayed entry. Two days before he was due to ship out, the genius fell playing basketball and broke his left ankle.
They delayed his entry until it was healed and the Army docs cleared him to go to boot camp.
He did fine there (one of the only people I know who beefed about not getting ENOUGH exercise in BCT--he was a martial artist) until he reinjured the ankle. Took four weeks to heal and all they did was drop him back into a "current" training platoon.
In AIT, he, along with a lot of other trainees, caught bacterial pneumonia. He was hospitalized for two weeks and confined to quarters for another two weeks. Same deal, they dropped him back to a "newer" platoon and he graduated with them.
They'll likely keep her just fine so long as she is otherwise a "good troop". The only concern I would have in her case is if she is unable to get in "condition" for the physical training.
husband was running 5 miles per day when he enlisted and already did calisthenics and all of that. He was in better shape than many of his DI's were.
We didn't have the conditioning worries; we had to worry about husband's ankle healing properly and more than that about the fact that he had untreated ADD and was what one DI referred to as a "verbal hand grenade".
They used to "hide" husband when the brass came around, LoL

Hope she's on the mend quickly!
