CSU Freshman Paralyzed Jumping Into Leaf Pile
Heffern To Be Moved To Craig Hospital
POSTED: 11:05 am MDT October 18, 2004
A freshman student at Colorado State University remained paralyzed
Monday after jumping from a tree into a pile of leaves at the CSU on
Oct. 10.
Colin Heffern, from Cheyenne, Wyo., was playing with friends when he
jumped off a tree limb and broke a bone in the cervical segment of his
spinal cord, a friend of the family said.
On Friday, doctors at Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins, Colo.,
removed a piece of bone from Heffern's hip to use it to help stabilize
his neck.
It is not known if the paralysis is permanent, or if he will regain
the use of his limbs.
Heffern will be moved to Craig Hospital in Englewood, Colo., for
several months of rehabilitation.
He had been planning to major in landscape architecture.
