I'm sure many of you have heard about Dakota's snowboarding accident. She went on a school trip to Whistler on Saturday and had a bad fall near the end of the day. We were all very worried about her as she was transported to Children's Hospital where they ran tests and monitored her for awhile. She was kept immobilized till they were sure there was no damage to her back or spine. We are very happy to report she was released from the hospital on Monday night and though she has some stiffness and pain, she'll be fine. She's back at school now and seems to be doing great. She'll have a follow up visit in a few weeks.
Grandpa Bain has suggested she take up a less adventurous past time - something like shopping. I'm trying to think of some way to convince her that helmets and safety gear are really the in thing this year - all of the radtabulous (her word) kids are wearing them.

Dakota, Dakota, Dakota! I don't think that I have ever met anyone that injures themselves as much as she does. I think that Larry and I are going to have to invent a full body protection suit. Kindof like the marshmellow man in Ghost Busters. Maybe that will help. Anyways, get better Dakota. My login won't work, so I have to post this as anonymous, but you know who it is!
PS you can't have radtabulous without "tab"
I like the idea of the marshmellow suit. I was thinking a plasic bubble, but knowing Dakota, she'd turn it into a zorb ball and start rolling down hills or something. She's doing great now though.
