Andy went up to Snowbowl in Flagstaff with my brother in-law, Jake, to Snowboard last Friday. After only one run Andy was found unconscious on the hill. His face was bruised and part of his head. He was rushed to the ER at the nearest hospital where we found out that he had a concussion and had lost his short term memory. All day he did'nt know where he was, what had happened, where he lived and where his wife was! When the doctors said they wanted him to stay over night, Lisa and her sister Kacy drove up to see him. Everytime someone called to talk to Andy, he repeated the same thing. "I've been better. apparently i hit my head. i'm having a hard time remembering things." two minutes later he had no memory of talking on the phone. It was kinda scary. It was a miracle the next morning when his memory was 90 percent back to normal. The doctors said that his memory of the accident was completely erased and he will never get it back. What a blessing it is that he was still alive and that no permanent damage was done.
