Failed test and trip to medical

I received a call from my daughter today. The last time I talked to her she was sad but mostly because she was homesick and said she missed us. This time was worse. She failed a test which she said she will be able to re take tomorrow but was told if she doesn't pass tomorrow. Her PIR will be pushed out. She also said she has an ankle injury. She said the injury happened 3 days ago, she doesn't know how. After not being able to tolerate the pain anymore she brought it to the attention of her petty officer yesterday at which time she was told she could go to medical but that she would be giving up. So she kept going. Today her ankle is very swollen and painful with weight baring. I told her to elevate it if possible and to put her boot on, tie it tighty and sleep with it on and it will control the swelling. I also told her to go to medical. I don't care if her graduation gets pushed back.
She said she feels so overwhelmed, that the div does a lot of bickering and are disrespectful. My heart aches for her. I am so worried for her. I love her no matter what. If she didn't make it through boot camp. I would still love her the same but I know she would be devastated. I hate that there is nothing I can do for her. She said so many people have gone home but she's not giving up. Please keep her in you prayers and well wishes.
