Landstuhl Hospital Describes Jessica Lynch's Injuries

(CNSNews.com) 4/4/03 - Army Private First Class Jessica Lynch was not stabbed. She was not shot. But she does have two broken legs, a broken right arm, a broken right foot and ankle and a broken lumbar spine, a hospital spokesman said at a press conference on Friday. She's also being treated for a cut to her head. "She has undergone several surgeries to stabilize her injuries, including spinal surgery," said a spokesman at Landstuhl hospital in Germany, where a number of American GIs are treated. Today she will have additional surgeries to treat her other broken bones. The spokesman said the surgeries have gone very well, but she'll require extensive rehabilitation, the spokesman said. Her doctors say the prognosis for Jessica's eventual recovery is excellent. No one's saying how Jessica was injured, but press reports suggest her captors may have inflicted some of her wounds. She's said to be in good spirits, although she's still being fed intravenously. She is receiving continuous medical and psychological care, the hospital spokesman said.
