Sean's Little Accident

I won't go into details as it is not my place. But just to let people at home know - Sean had a snowboarding accident on Friday. He smacked his head against a rock quite hard. Somehow he managed to snowboard down to ski patrol where he was given immediate first aid. They then sent him to Twizel for a check up, who sent him to Timaru for a CT scan, which showed a crack in his skull. They helicoptored him up to Christchurch where he was operated on on Saturday morning. Myself and Orla played a bit of a cat and mouse game trying to catch up with him, and finally found in the emergency room in Christchurch. The operation was successful and he is now the proud owner of 10 pieces of titanium in his head and a very fetching haircut.

On behalf of Sean, we like to thank ski patrol in Ohau and all the doctors and nurses in Twizel, Timaru and Christchurch, helicoptors and ambulances, who have taken wonderful care of him. He was given immediate and precautionary care and very quickly figured out the extent of his injury. Considering his family were on the other side of the world, they were very forthcoming with myself and Orla.
