The bear slipped and is injured...

2008.04.30
Kenai the Bear from the movie "Brother Bear" and his brother Koda. The taller one is my daughter.

Kenai at the door of the restaurant the day we ate there as we were leaving to drive north and home to San Jose. Kenai was so sad to have to say goodbye. Don't let that silly smile fool you. There is a teary eyed thing inside that bear.

Kenai with her, acchem, "his" Grandparents.

Kenai warming a paw on a cold morning.

I love this bear.....

"Hi Nani!"

Nani, Papa and Kenai.

A bit of salmon on a bagel for my bear.

Kenai and Daddy again as we get ready to leave for home.....

***UPDATE***
They released her from the Hospital Emergency Room and sent her back to the Cast Member Health Center. She has contusions on her head and lower back. Big bruises and a whopper headache. She will have some work restrictions for a week or so.
*******************************************************************My daughter works at the Disneyland Resort. Today she was Kenai the Bear at the Grand Californian Hotel Storyteller Cafe. She walked off set and stepped in a patch of water and slipped. Fell flat on her lower back then smacked her head inside the furry suit helmet. She was dizzy, queasy and generally not feeling so well. I told her she needed to get seen by the Worker's Compensation Doctors. They loaded her in a cab from the work health center and sent to a hospital about 15 minutes from work. That was at 12 noon. Still hasn't seen a doctor.....I am 400 miles away from her away at college. I am freaking out. Her cell phone battery is dead. She can't call out from the hospital, she is supposed to just jump in a cab to head back to work! CRAZY!!! I think she has a concusion because she has slow speech. slurry and is sleepy. Not good signs from where I sit!!! Not sure what to do..... Disney couldn't tell me how long they wait before going to look for her at the hospital!! Crazy place!! I know I am venting but I am scared. She tells me the head of the bear is like a football helmet, chin strap and all but I reminded her that football players suffer concusions all the time!!

DancingDolphin I'm sorry about her accident but let me assure you of one thing: BAD NEWS TRAVELS FAST! I've seen hospitals in operation and if there was anything horribly wrong... you'd know. It's hard when they're so far away! Keep us posted.

cprior2 Glad to hear she is okay! Let me tell you.. mascots of the sort are dangerous! I have had my fair share of time spent inside a furry animal costume and it's hard to walk and see and not knock things over. I thing the best is when I ran into a pole sticking up from the ground that I clearly could not see!

photopoet I noted that this was two days ago—hope she is feeling better. It's hard being so far away and not being able to communicate.

Love the set.
