Stevens Pass Accident

Yesterday we went to Stevens Pass to snowboard with our friend Pat!  Here we are almost there. It is a really beautiful ski area.20160122_101147

Mom said I should stay in the car at first and then she was having such a good time she FORGOT me until almost the end of the day. She was about to come get me for photos but on the way she fell and hit her elbow on some hard packed snow and it really hurt! She could not snowboard after that. She was way up on the mountain it was too far to walk so they called the ski patrol!!!  they bundled her up and she got to ride down in the ski patrol toboggan!!!  with the handsome ski patrol rescuer his name was Kregg. And I missed the whole thing!  Mom got to hang out in the ski patrol medical unit. she was kind of in shock and shivering real bad.  The ski patrol was awesome and took super good care of her.

The ski patrol doctor said her elbow might be broken or the ligament torn and possibly detached from the bone. Ouch. So today we went to urgent care and they took an x-ray. It is really good news! Nothing is broken and the ligament is probably fine!   It is really bruised and swollen but in a week mom should be feeling a lot better!  Yay!  Her arm is all wrapped up and in a sling. Me and Taj are helping to comfort mom. She is going to be ok!  I was scared.  I wish I had been there to get a picture of the toboggan ride.
