| 21st September, 2007 - 7:42 pm |  New York Times - Kevin Everett will be transferred to a hospital in Houston on Friday morning, where he will begin rehabilitation for a serious spinal cord injury he sustained during the Buffalo Bills’ season opener almost two weeks ago.
Brian Overstreet, Everett’s agent, said Thursday that Everett, a third-year tight end, would travel by airplane to Houston, where he lives during the off-season, to begin rehabilitation.
Everett has continued to defy doctors’ early predictions as he recovers from a collision Sept. 9 against the Denver Broncos that left him paralyzed from the shoulders down.
Dr. Barth Green, a Miami-based neurosurgeon and spinal cord expert who has consulted on Everett’s case, said Thursday that he expected Everett to be released from the hospital in a matter of weeks.
Everett, 25, has been in intensive care since hours after his injury. He had surgery to repair direct compression to his spinal cord between the C3 and C4 vertebrae in his neck. [READ] |
