Sierra’s Story

Site created on June 19, 2018

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place.

Dani was injured in a mountain biking accident at Angel Fire Bike Park on Sunday, June 17, 2018.  She was airlifted from Taos Hospital to the UNM Medical Neuroscience  center in Albuquerque, NM.  After 3 weeks in UNM she was then medi-flighted to St. David's in Austin where she spent the next 6 weeks.

To learn how this all happened, you can jump ahead in the journal to the day I describe that fateful morning:

Journal entry by Dani Pedroza

2023 

It was a bit of an odd year, but that is probably only because the math nerd in me prefers even numbers!


I was able to do a little traveling this year thanks in no small part to my first trip in May to Baltimore where I got to do my first solo plane ride since the accident.  Ended up having a wonderful visit with LJ and Andy, so much so that I went back in October just 24 hours after I landed in Austin after a wonderful trip to Hawaii with mom and Evil Step Dad. 🌺🌺


Finally, my sister and I pulled off my final trip for the year where I flew to Albuquerque.  She picked me up to surprise dad at our family cabin near Eagle Nest for a white Christmas!  ❄️☃️⛄️


Summary of goals for 2023.  


Thank you to Miss Knight of Anderson High School for letting me join you in the classroom for a day.  Hope to do more of that in 2024.


Got a good start and got yarn figured out for arm knitting and look forward to finishing my first blanket early this year.

 

But I am most excited about booking a trip with sister to Montana in June where we will stay on a ranch and do fun things. It’s a goal I have been working towards, and I am so thankful to those that have helped me with my equine adventures thus far.

Still working on passport adventure but have a few irons in the fire on that goal! 


Happy New Year!
