Six year old Dennis Courtney to leave hospital after arm reattachment
In Morgantown West Virginia six year old Dennis Courtney is set to be discharged from University Hospital today three weeks after doctors reattached his arm following a highway accident near Shinnston. Surgeons used micro surgical techniques to reconnect nerves and blood vessels then fashioned a cast as bones knit. The boy, praised for bravery, had blood supply restored and faces a month of bone healing before nerves are studied for recovery.
