John Perry's Daughter Takes A Spill

Don't miss the account of JP's daughter skiing her way into the hospital in Austria.

When I called the recovery room number he gave me, she was just coming out the anesthetic and didn't know where she was or how she'd gotten there. She was 4000 miles away. Those of you who have children will be able to imagine how I felt at that moment.

As a parent with a very active kid, I know exactly how JP must have felt. The only good part of her trip to Europe was that it was a second plan, after her dad had presciently talked her out of spending the Christmas vacation on the beach in Thailand.
