New ice skates in Beaver Creek leave Paeton broken

We have had an absolutely fabulous vacation in Beaver Creek, Colorado.  When we make it home to Cape, I will post more photos and tell you more about our time here.  However, I could not wait to tell you about our evening last night.  Greg and Jamie reserved us a sleigh ride up the mountain and intimate dinner at Beanos Cabin.  We were all really looking forward to this evening on the mountain to conclude our vacation.  Paeton and her friend Clayton had so much fun ice skating on Monday night, we told them they could go again last night before we went to dinner.  I had found Paeton a like new pair of skates of her very own to use, she was so excited!  Thirty minutes into skate time, Paeton falls and hurts her wrist.  We really did not know if it was broke or not, Jamie made the executive decision that we would go to dinner and reassess her condition after.  It was a freezing sleigh ride up the mountain, but it was a beautiful night to star gaze.  We saw Orion's Belt, Venus, and many other's.  After we arrived and hung up our coats, ready for our yummy dinner, Jamie decided to give Paeton's wrist one more check.  Yep, he found the spot, she was now crying again and in a lot of pain.  After quickly bundling up, Paeton and I rode the sleigh back down the mountain, and drove to the hospital in Vail.  The Vail ER is very efficient if you ever need to go there, you will be well cared for.  We were in and out in less than 1 hour.  That was admission, gown, x-ray, Dr review of x-ray, casting and dismissed one co-pay later!  So instead of the lovely and romantic evening my dear husband had planned, I went to the ER with Paeton.  We celebrated at Denny's over pancakes on our way back to Beaver Creek.  Paeton has a dance competition and 2 baton competitions coming up next month.(one being STATE!)  The ER DR said she actually has a buckle fracture, which is not a complete brake.  He seemed to think that she should heal in a few weeks.  We will follow up with ortho when we get home.  Please pray for her complete healing so she will be able to compete.  It is never a dull moment with her!  Love this baby girl, but I wish she could stay safe!  Thank you for standing with us in prayer for her. . . take good care!

Oh dear friend,
Glad the rest of your trip was fantastic. I do agree, Paeton does look great in that pink cast. Have a safe trip home and we will be in touch.
Blessings,
Stacey
