With a charming and outgoing personality, he is loved by many. Always there to lend a hand when he can... there isn't a time he wouldn't do something for you. Andrew is the fourth oldest of eight children. He just graduated from Brentwood High School in St. Louis, Missouri and was set to leave for Gallaudet University (In Washington D.C.) in one week as a freshman (first year). Additionally, he just won Mr. Olympian of the year at MDO (Mini Deaf Olympics in Kentucky) about a week ago which shows his love for sports.
An avid atlethic, he is an excellent wrestler with a proven record. Among other sports, he has done American football and track. He was going to play American football and a wrestling club for Gallaudet but his injuries will prevent this for a long time.
This will be a shock to him once he wakes up and realizes his loss... yet he is a very determined and strong individual so he will pull through, especially with all of your kind support and prayers.

Hello all,
Thank you so much for all of your thoughts, prayers, and support. I'm Drew's oldest sister. I spoke to my mom a little while ago. Drew continues to be stable. His head pressure has not changed so they are going to remove the ICP monitor this evening. She spoke to the neurosurgeon and he said it may be a couple of weeks before Drew wakes up, but is positive he will wake.
The orthopedic said Drew's bones will heal with good care. Ironically, they will heal faster because of his brain injury. I'll try to keep you all updated. Again, thank you. Courtney
