Ondrej Pavelec Update
Things are looking up for Pavs! His opening night collapse was one of the scariest things I'd witnessed. Reports directly after were scary as well. Pavs woke up in the ambulance, couldn't feel his legs and didn't remember anything after the national anthem!
Fortunately it's looking much better for Ondrej now. They've done a battery of tests and everything has turned out okay. It appears he just fainted, possibly due to a hydration issue. Most of the damage was done when he hit his head on the ice.
Pavs is skating in practice this week. Sandy took her girls up there to see him and get their sign autographed. Pavs also gave them a stick. As Sandy told him "You look a lot better than the last time we saw you!"
Word is that today the rink is swamped with media, including TSN, watching Pavs practice. Can't wait to see you back on the ice, Ondrej!

For clarification--that is Abby's sign. I have threatened to destroy it more than once after a bad night. She will not allow it. Abby IS the Pavelec fan. He did look good yesterday. He talked to her. She was about to bust. Glad he is feeling better. Can't wait to see him on game ice again.
It was a little bit or a huge surprise to get to see him. Someone saw Abby's sign laying on the bench and commeted on it. Then, as practice went on, he went and found Pavelec for her and asked him to come out to see her. Great memories for a 9 year old girl.
I'm glad you set it right, wouldn't want Miss Abby upset at me! That is such a cool story!
I was meaning to tell you on FB that I used your pic, I was just busy at work, lol. As always, if you would rather I not, just let me know and I'll take it down.
That sign is famous! It's on the jumbo tron all the time!
Feel better soon Pavs!!! <3
