We decided to start a blog to keep friends and family updated on Butch's condition. We would first like to let everyone know what happened.
Wednesday night, July 18th, he was driving down Little Cottonwood Canyon headed home from visiting Girl's Camp. He failed to veer left around a corner and hit a boulder sending him flying 30 feet. The truck hit one tree and then another before landing on it's side between a tree and the boulder. They had to cut the top of the truck off to get him out and he was lifeflighted to IHC in critical condition. He was the only one in the car and didn't hit any other vehicles.
He sustained several injuries including broken ribs, a broken pelvis, a shattered hip, a broken leg, and a broken back. He went into surgery that night to restore circulation to his leg. Surgery went well and they were able to save his leg. He is now in good spirits and will have have surgery to fix his back sometime this weekend.
We want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers and will update this blog as things progress. Right now they are only allowing immediate family and we will let you know as that changes.
