Eric LeGrand Injury Reclassified as 'Incomplete'

Filed under: Rutgers

Eric LeGrand and his family could potentially have gotten good news Tuesday, as the spinal cord injury he suffered in October was reclassified from "complete" to "incomplete."

Steven Kirshblum, the medical director of the Kessler Institute of Rehabilitation where LeGrand is currently receiving treatment, cautioned that while every instance of spinal cord damage is a case-by-case situation, a classification of "incomplete" is considered a better prognosis.

LeGrand's family announced another bit of good news -- the Rutgers center has been taken off a ventilator, and is breathing on his own for the first time since the injury.
