I just wanted to give my support, I lack any medical knowledge so I can't really chip in on the information you need, but I wish your nephew the best and hope he regains his memory soon.

I just wanted to update everybody that he is OK and 100% back to normal. (Well, relatively)

Anyways. he's gotta spend the next few days at home being watched and we'll have to run tests on him to see if he suffered anything majorly.

Thank you all for your support!

Just found out the driver works for the city of Bend. We expect the city to settle this out of court but we'll see. The guy is claiming it's my nephews fault for being too close to the road. Not my nephew's fault though. There is NO sidewalk that leads up to the bus stop and the bus stop is just a tiny little slab of concrete with a bench, road goes RIGHT next to it. It has been snowing and raining, so the dirt next to the road was just one huge mud pit. Nobody would walk in that when the road is available and there is a small bike lane to walk in.

This morning my 19 year old nephew was hit by a snow plow while waiting for the bus.

He suffered a severe concussion and extreme head trama, if his head doesn't stop swelling, they'll have to cut the top of his head off to relieve swelling. As of right now, he is awake but he remembers nothing about who he is and he thinks he is 10 years old.

I'm glad he's alive but right now my family is scared about his memory. Will it come back? The doctors aren't really saying anything other then wait and see. Does anybody have any real life experinces of this kind of thing? Anything I could share with my family that would be positive would be helpful.

I have a friend who had amnesia in high school. For a good few weeks he was unaware of who he was and who his friends and classmates were. They basically told him that I was his friend and I was chosen to reintroduce him to the people he was close to. Eventually all his memories did return and things were completely back to normal. His injury was caused by a blow to the head as well. I hope this helps a little and I hope your nephew pulls through.

edit: Great news that he is recovering!
